Take a screw or brad nail and release the spring from the flap. Takes a few seconds and saves you from shooting four letter words when you are in a hurry.

I see why I never noticed it before. It is a TANK. I need a lightweight 3x18 sander. The Ryobi is about right but I wish DeWalt would make one more compact and lighter with a little more belt speed. Wishful thinking I guess.

I don't know why DeWalt won't get into belt sanders. I don't think they even sell a corded one in the USA.
Roofing nailer would be great but might not happen because roofs get hot and that kills batteries.
Biscuit jointer needs to happen too.. come on DeWalt

Adam is correct. The only thing different about your batteries is the stickers. They only call them 20v in the USA because of marketing.

What kind of adapter do you use on the table saw? I'm getting sick of using masking tape.

eBay. The seller was factory authorized outlet but the box said max tool when it arrived. It took almost a month from when I ordered.
-
I got mine on Friday and used it for about 6 hours on Saturday. It lasts as long on one 9ah as my dwv010 lasts on 4 using the power station. It is a LOT quieter, to the point that with a heater and radio blasting next to me and earplugs in sometimes I couldn't hear it running. The suction is slightly less than the dwv010 but not enough to make a significant difference. The remote worked flawlessly right out of the box and is the best feature. It didn't seem to lose suction through the day and I had it half full.

Just don't see how it stacks ...
Me either but I'm not worried about it. I want it because I'm tired of running a cord for my regular vac every time or ditching it and dealing with dust when breakers are blowing and having the remote will be a time saver. I also wanted something more portable for my orbital. I run out of hose when doing handrails and without it I'm blowing brown snots for days!

I'm certain it is wireless RFID, according to the cop tool video on YouTube. The dewalt rep says wireless, not bluetooth so you don't need to pair it with any tools and you can use it with any tool brand. Might work like RC controllers? On it's own frequency with the supplied extractor?
I just watched that video. He says that it gets paired with the vac at about 1:18

I’m wondering if I buy multiple units will the Transmitters interfere with each other in close proximity
Good question. I would hope they have that figured out. I wonder if the transmitter needs to be paired to the vac.

I bought one of them on eBay yesterday too, I was pretty excited to see it. I had a 15% off coupon so it was 297.50 for me. I'll let you know when it comes.

Ive been using mine a lot and am constantly impressed by it. Beats my old brushed 20v impact and is half the size.

The same thing happens with the corded models. They need to be cleaned and lubed periodically or they will wear out. Also be careful not to turn them too high or too low it can strip out the aluminum. Once there is slop in them like you see they wear out even quicker.
-
Every finish nailer I use needs a driver assembly every 50-60,000 nails. Seems reasonable to me, can't expect any nail gun to last forever without maintenance. The triggers also get finicky but I clean them with electric cleaner and put some dielectric grease in. Haven't had one have a problem after that.
I'm sure a lot of guns go back for warranty because of these issues. I can't wait for DeWalt to replace them so I just fix them myself. The trigger is an easy and cheap fix and drive blades are just a wear item.

Ah. Duh. That’s what I get for responding too fast and not thinking!!
I have been wondering why they don’t make a dedicated flexvolt charger charging at 60v? Seems like it would charge faster... or is this another poor understanding of electronics on my part?
54v at 4 amps would be the same charge rate as 18v at 12 amps. DeWalt could even push the 20700 cells to 6 amps or 18 amps at 18v for 9ah flexvolts. It would be great for charge times but might wear the batteries faster.
-
I feel a strong plastic is better. It will flex instead of breaking and is lighter. Mine takes a ton of abuse.

It's the heat. Heat kills the cells faster than anything. If you abuse the cells when they are already hot they won't last long. Mine get used hard daily and are kept fully charged most of the time. But I don't store them in a hot place and let them cool before charging if they do get hot. Some of my 6.0 flexvolts are over 2 years old and still as strong as ever. All of my 9's are over a year old. I have 2.0 and 4.0 packs from 2013/2014. Still work great. But look terrible!

I got mine from toolnut.com a couple weeks ago. I think they made a mistake shipping it but I'm not complaining.

The sawzall isn't too hard on batteries. If you kill a battery fast enough to get it hot you are going to be beating yourself up too. The table saw and chainsaw can get batteries hot if used hard non stop.

The 60v compressor and table saw can suck down 9 AH batteries fast if used hard. Also the chainsaw can drain a 9 in what seems like a few minutes when pushed hard bucking. My circ saw and grinder can drain a battery fast but typically only get used in spurts so it's never an issue.
Easiest would be lights, radio and dcf887 impact. Nail guns run an amazing long time too.

Small molding that flexes as you cut it and the blind apprentice that just needs to make one cut will change your mind about hook angle fast. Being arrogant will also get you in trouble no matter what you do.
Back on subject @Craigh9916 what is the part number for the Freud blade your interested in? I wouldn't mind trying something different.
-
You would have to find one made for a miter saw. Every 7 1/4 blade that I tried was too thin and had too agressive hook angles.
I use a Makita 40t 7 1/2" blade. It is thicker and made for miter saws. You do have to clearance the guard slightly for it.
-
If it has the blower and they just omitted the switch that's great. I hate the switch, it should always be on.
-
If you are doing a LOT of cutting then you will notice the 9 will keep peak performance for longer, but honestly it's not a big difference. I only use the 9 in my baby saw when I'm cutting lots of shoe molding and don't want to go back and forth to the charger. By the time I kill a 9 I'm done the job or ready to take 5.

Totally agree! I bought mine when they first came out and had so many DeWalt batteries it didn't matter
