  1. Not sure Jan and Cliff could be a overheating issue or water damage but mine was as simple as a short in the cord end where the prongs are. After years of heavily using my DW745,  usually on ground (stand is always buried), blade shroud off and ripping everything including treated 3x,  i always kick the power switch off with my foot after a cut, im pretty rough on her.  The factory prongs that are folded over became brittle,black, split and broke off over time. I replaced the end...twice since then. At one point it was kicking on/off rapid while I tried to bend the cord back and forth. I believe wires were arcing in plug end so I electric taped individual wires then reassembled.  Saw works great and still have a second saw sib because I originally purchased at HD for $250. Went in the next day and clearanced out to $200. I always use a gfci, and  plug in table and miter saw direct when possible. If not use a 10 Guage surge protect extension cord.  Test the saw with a small ac / dc current pen tester to check if there is still power running past the switch assy after it kicks off

  2. I'm gonna guess its a dual use tool? 1) ratcheting screwdriver like kobalts found @ lowes 

    2)striker pilot bit

    3) nail set for siding and wire mesh mason nails

    pin could be a aux handle / mini breaker bar like you said

  3. Looks similar to metabo htp's cordless pinner, dewalt should have gone 12v or both options with a slightly smaller compact footprint or capacity, It might take 2" pins looking @ how the nail magazine is shaped

  4. What pictures????

    Butchered a small case, to adapt to a Radio......Now it is no longer sittin on the Floor.

     

     

    In Picture #3, the Dewalt Portable  Vac and Flex Light are both held in place, by using a dead 18V battery, with the batteries removed and the empty case screwed into the appropriate location. Tool locks on to the battery case and keeps them secure.

     

  5. I give the back of my dcn21 gun a good smack on the ground or tap driver down with a nail set to get the driver to fully retract, the jam release lever doesn't work sometimes, it looks like the head of your gun is jammed in, a small pc of nail? Could just be pic. I haven't had my 16 jam up yet, I did exchange it @ depot last year, first one sounded loud and damaged

  6. I have the older flat 6 port charger. You have the newer model? The batteries would show solid green full charge but only charge 75% & die quicker than usual. And they would discharge when left on the charger when not plugged in. Does your charger have the blue maintenence/ reset button to restart charge cycle?  I have 2 gen 1 4ah with the red orange green fuel indicator and 2 newer 4ah with the green peg. On my single ryobi charger I have to flip it upside down while charging to get full charge on them???

  7. Bit late here.. i agree, The Milwaukee gen 1 guns were garbage and awkward to handle, belt hook location was also odd. The gen 2 models are great.  Personally I'm all dewalt 20v cordless 16g, 18g, framer, roofer. 18g has been hit and miss sinks 4 out of 5 nails leaving nail head out 1/8" occasionally.  

  8. I agree with you, dewalt needs to pick it up. But Dewalt makes a flexvolt toughsystem dust extractor vacuum for low price $500!!, lol. I just missed one for $250 off ebay last month😥. I own Dewalts greatest piece of innovation the Dewalt Flexvolt/20v Portable Power Station with about 20 batteries (4x 9ah,2x flexvolt 6ah, 2x 8ah, 8x 4ah,8x 2ah, 3ah)so any tool is dewalt cordless; stationary or portable backpack mode. I would buy immediately if dewalt released a double bevel miter but got ridgid for 50%. Milwaukee m18/12 have exploded with new tools, ryobi, ridgid and makita continue to surprise with innovation, similar tools and many more offers and many times better features and technology (no push tech on 20v drywall gun), yeah I've had dewalt 20v framer for about 6 years now, milwaukee just released theirs last month after years of delays. I originally started with blue ryobi 18v when tools were actually built better than new green models. ie drill, router, circ saw, 8 1/4 miter saw, etc. I am multi platform with mostly 20v/ Flexvolt, Ryobi 18v(blower, grinder), Ridgid 18v(7 1/4 miter saw,vacuum, octane router), and some craftsman nextec(compact right angle impact driver, articulating hammer) Kinda went with the best value for $, even ryobi is starting to up their prices big time from the past

  9. Decided to take the 50-60 screws out and open up the dewalt toughsystem 2.0 radio to see why on one the subwoofer would crackle and pop constantly, on another 2 speakers are not working at all and I took the subwoofer from that one to fix a 3rd to complete working order , sub was just dead. attempting to track down the speakers. Are they 2" 4ohm 5watt ? I already ordered 2 4" 4ohm 40-70 watt subwoofers
