The.Handyman Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Well, my local Home Depot has 3 FlexVolt miter saws on the top shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildroamer Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Well, I just cancelled my circular saw order, simply because I now have my eye on the track saw, if it does indeed appear in the US at some point. Still waiting on the grinder and recip, however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 kinda curious why the Fuel is similarly priced to the Flexvolt. Its got only a 10 inch blade, single battery, and no option for corded. Would think it should be a couple hundred dollars lower. The bevel lock for the Fuel is pretty cool.

Still waiting on the grinder and recip, however... Im gonna keep my circular saw order because I utilized the free tool deal and would like to keep the free tool. Also I'm thinking about selling the circular saw if I decided I would need the tracksaw more than the circular. I wish I had the option for a tracksaw now but I don't know how useful it would be on the jobsite for house building. Would be more interested in using it for furniture as something to cut sheet material because I don't have the budget or space for a cabinet grade tablesaw. Would also make for easy accurate cuts for large solid wood tops that have uneven edges from joining wood together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildroamer Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm with you on the lack of table saw, that's my reasoning for the track saw. Plus, I have a really nice circ saw, though it is corded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 The saw kits here in Canada are within $200 of each other. 900 vs 1100. Makes the Dewalt a no brainer. More capacity, hybrid, and comes w two batteries for more versatility w other tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think the blame lies with DeWalt though on this one @ToughToolReviews on Instragram DeWALT has the ability to produce X number of tools and divides that pie up to the various folks who sell their tools. They are going to allocate more tools to the folks who sell more. Just like Home Depot is going to send more of the FlexVolt tools to northern Virginia in the DC suburbs than they are going to send to the stores in the western, more rural part of the state. The question is did the big discounters know how many tools they were going to get? If they knew they were going to get only a handful, maybe they should have offered them at full price - $10 or $25 instead of the huge discount, free extra tool, free battery route. Another option would have been for them to offer them to some of their more frequent purchasers first. It sounds like DeWALT has a bigger winner than they imagined they would have. They will also have to deal with the animosity that these vendors have created for them. It is even worse for them if they have parts and components floating offshore because of the Hanjim bankruptcy, waiting to be unloaded and can't build more tools because of it.

Bremon Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Let me know what you think of the shoe on that saw. I read a complaint about it not being "one piece" or something like that, but when I inspected one in store I didn't see anything that caused me any concern.

Hugh Jass Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 So CPO just emailed me basically saying they have no idea when they'll ship my tool but they hope it's this year, and they're going to eat 10% on my order. I understand it's Dewalt that's fucking this up by being greedy and letting Home Depot and the like eat up all the orders but I'm pissed from a marketing standpoint that pre orders are the ones getting hosed when we're the biggest fans/enthusiasts/supporters. It's not right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joemontague Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 This is turning out to be a joke I have already paid for my order a pretty big order if I hadn't I'd probably cancel it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
