Has anyone had luck just returning it to the store it was bought, like Home Depot?

I believe the 2ah battery uses Samsung 20r cells but not sure what cells the 3ah is using... Would the 3ah provide some extra power over the 2ah? I'm guessing the 3ah might be using 30q cells which have 15ah continuous where as the 20s is like 22ah continuous
I Don't know which cells they are using, I have one 1 3AH battery, it came with my orbital sander. Have to say I generally prefer the 2AH batteries. I find them significantly lighter, and when I need additional battery life, Ie for a saw za or a circular saw, I go with the 5AH batteries. -

Look on eBay for a box for your siding gun.
Bostitch box may work. If I’m not mistaken the Dewalt is a rebranded Bostitch.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThose are great suggestions. especially using one with the foam. thank you.
I will take a look on Ebay. I looked on Amazon and didn't see the one for the framing gun, but didn't even think about Ebay.
as far as a bag goes, I don't use the guns every day, I kinda want the hard side cases to protect the nailers from getting wet/dirty and from getting knocked around. The siding nailer I have in a Milwaukee Packout, but the framing nailer is too big to fit in even the the big Packout box.

I just bought the 21 deg air framing gun. It came from HD with no case.
Does anyone know if Dewalt makes or ever made cases for this gun? And if so, does anyone know where you could buy one? (I have the same question for a coiled siding nailer).
Thanks

I bought it to use on an LP siding job, two story house.
I wanted it to trim the lap siding to length around windows and make butt cuts, and I wanted the belt hook feature.
Pro-
Plenty of power. Surprising amount of torque with a 20v battery. The ability to carry it on the belt is handy. Tough enough to fall off the scaffold. Blade left makes it easy to see what you are cutting.
Con-
Because your hard is so far back, it’s a bit hard to control with one hand. Even using a level as a fence for a rip, the saw wandered to the right, away from the fence.
I also used it on a fence, to cut boards down in height. It wasn’t much help there, as the 4 1/2” blade can only cut two boards at a time.
In sum-
A regular circular saw following a straight edge is better at cutting sheet goods. it offers more control.
A fence/rip guide for your saw is certainly more affordable than the atomic. You could do wider rips, as the Atomic has a small shoe and rip guide.
The Atomic has Plenty of power for cutting siding or trim boards on a roof, scaffold, or ladder.it could be handy there. It would be handy for cutting in vent holes on a roof.
If you’re looking for a first cordless saw, go with a standard 6 1/2 or 7 1/4. Better capacity and control.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkGreat feedback, I assume you are recommending it?
I am of the mindset it would be nice to have one for just that, trimming siding, small plunge cuts thru a board or two. Small repairs, maybe a patch, or some trim. Plunge cuts that are too small for a regular circular saw, but where you cant start a cut on a jig saw, and a multi tool might not be enough.
Do you think it fits this space? I have been leaning towards getting one.

hi
there is a parallel thread on Dewalt ATOMIC
also showing a video on DCS571 circ. saw
DCS571
I wanted to start an individual thread on some of the new tools coming
there was several posts some time back;
does anyone know of a release date / when will it hit the stores ??
ITs in stock right now at the Home Depot stores in DFW.

Not so. Even with a high amp hour 60v pack, just look at the size of a 40v battery. It simply holds more cells. Maybe if you compared a 12ah 60v to the 4ah 40v it would be comparable...
No a 4 AH 60V battery would be able to do more work than a 4AH 40V battery because Power is a function of the square of the voltage. P=(V^2)/R, and Work is the integral of power delivered over time. So equal AH batteries, hence all else being equal, higher voltages will last longer/do more work than lower voltages.

40v has longer runtimes.
All things being equal a 60v tool would have a longer run time than a 40v tool.

That’s fine... and I would have gone full blown 60V, except they released 40V a few months before Flexvolt was announced. 🤷♂️
Yeah, I was talking about what way I would go today, ie I Would only buy either felxvolt or 20v tools.Its tough luck to have bought into the 40V and then Dewalt comes back with the Flexvolt.

whats the point of keeping 40v now, when 60v are out?
I have been wondering the same thing, why wouldn't you just go with the 60V versions of the blowers/weed whackers, lawn mowers etc?

I seem to be more interested in m12 as of late. I got the stapler and coat awhile back but recently got the 3/8 stubby and that new installation driver looks like something I will get. Might even try out the m12 surge. I wish DeWALT would bring back their version of NPS but seems unlikely with Craftsman around. DeWALT has been slower than normal the last couple years.
SBD is building a new plant in the DFW area, I suspect once they get the Craftsman line launched, and the new plant opens, that we might see some more resources go to Dewalt.
I am with you, SBD seems to have noticeably slowed down their innovation of new tools for Dewalt over the last year or so. It even seems like they are running a LOT fewer specials on Home Depot and Lowes. Outside of the basic intro 2/5/7/9 piece tool combos along with the "atomic" intro.
Kinda disappointed to be honest. -

Your assumption of fixed resistance is off because you have to factor in series resistance which if all cells are the same internal resistance, 60 V means 33% more series resistance so the current decreases by that amount, leaving you with roughly similar performance. Then there's the issue of voltage drop proportional to square of current so you can quickly see why something as simple as P=VI is not simple at all. Hence Milwaukee for instance has stayed with 18 V batteries where Dewalt goes up to 56 on a FlexVolt but hasn't so far had a vastly superior advantage, never mind say Kobalt 24 V. Then we can really confuse things when you realize brushless commutation means the rotors are DC with an AC rectifier feeding them and often synchronous so the fields are actually AC. A DC to AC converter as well as DC to DC can easily increase or decrease the voltage in the process so motor voltage is independent of battery voltage and hence the higher voltages play off losses in the wiring (IxIxR) against increased battery series resistance. Hence no easy relationships where voltage is definitive.

The voltage would be measured at the tool, I doubt the resistance between two chain saws would be all that much. the internal resistance to the battery wouldnt have much impact because you are delivering double the voltage hence square of the power. There would be very little to no voltage drop within the battery, because there just isn't going to be much resistance between cells, regardless of rather they are in series or not.
The mount of work you care about would be at the output of the tool, not within the battery. (BTW, it would take more resistance to wire up something in parallel vs something in series all things being equal.) -

I'm invested in both 40V and 60V platforms. Is there a difference between the two battery chainsaws? I know they operate at different voltages (duh), but voltage doesn't equate to power; watts do. Are there subtle differences between the two units that are not advertised?
Not to be pedantic, but all things being equal voltage does correlate to power.
P = IV = I^2*R = V^2/R
Where:
P=Power
I= Current
V= Voltage
R= Resistance
Assuming the resistance stays about the same between the 40V and 60V units,
P(60)=(60^2)/R
P(40)=(40^2)/R
P(60)/P(40)= [(60^2)/R]/[(40^2)/R]=3,600/1,600=
or 2.25x's as much power in a 60V vs a 40V, assuming all else is equal.
(someone correct me if the rust on my old engineering degree has screwed something up. But I think this is correct)
Now if we want to identify work done, it would be:
W= P*t
W=Work
P= Power
t=time
Personally I like the backwards compatibility of the flexvolt and plan on sticking with either 20v or 60V tools.

I do like the slim organizers and the tote...if the useless aluminum corners we're gone off the other boxes they would take up much less space. ..
BTW< I strongly disagree that they are useless aluminum corners. Those corners protect the case, AND they are fantastic to help you pick up and slide the boxes when loading and unloading
-
I would like to see a tool box like the 20" tote only with a top like the tech bag. I have it, but I find the tech bag a little deep.
The tool bags they have don't seem to have enough pockets to do much with.
I would like to see a little better handle on the rolling cart, maybe one where the handle could be disconnected. The roller box even with the handle all the way down is pretty tall and a little difficult to fit in confined spaces like trunks of the back of say an SUV.
I agree with others, it would be great to get a base unit that clicked into the boxes where you could affix a miter saw, or some other form factor'
I would like to see a few more options for the cases. Ie the closed plastic case only fits in the thin box. The trays only fit in the roller. It would be nice to have small part containers that fit in as an example the roller. Ie I keep my saw za in the roller, it would be nice to have a closeable small parts container where I could store the blades in the same case in a manner they wouldn't get knocked out of the trays when being transported.

...so they throw in a 9ah, great... and then the junk charger?! Get it together Dewalt, ffs this is embarrassing. What's it take 8hrs to charge a 9 on those pieces of shit? 🙄🤦♂️
My thing is if you end up with enough different tools in the collection, that you end up with a couple of decent chargers and larger batteries. So which battery, or which charger my next purchase comes with is not super important.
In fact normally I try to just by the bare tool to save money.

@cory...its not what craftsman May become its what they are now..SBD shows no signs of making Craftsman tools in the USA ..every Lowes has large stock of Chinese made craftsman.with some Taiwan stuff ..but almost no USA made tools or power tools.....this thread got hijacked sorry..... @Pouet..its great news for ryobi users I don't think ryobi even has a USB charger..
They just announced this, so I would say they are interested in making it an American brand again.

I can help you there.
It goes under the saw and serves as the bracket that holds the guides under the saw.
This is a picture from under the saw.
