Craigh9916 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 My friend has the 20v multitool and it's broke two of his batteries , the vibration has rattled the metal pins out of the battery slots they have literally fell out this has happened on two batteries ! Has anyone heard of this ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turner85 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Broke my two fuel gauges on my 5ah's. Well this was at least what i thought was the reason for them stopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I haven't had or heard of this issue. I mostly use flexvolt 6.0/2.0 batteries with my multitool. The one time I used a 2.0 slim pack it had no issues either. Maybe a faulty battery or faulty tool? I do notice some play in the contacts on the tool for the batteries. I have done a couple longer sessions with my multitool sanding some door panels. Tool was warm but battery was still in working order.

Framer joe Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I've had a couple of them, since it came out....freaking love that tool. No problems,no issues...or with the battery that was on it....I may use it for an hour or two at a time ,so I don't know if extended use may cause a problem.....if under warranty I'd get a new one.....

Renner_construction Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 That multi tool is a fucking piece of shit. The vibration is sickening, has no power and is a toy. Anyone who "loves" it has never used a professional grade multitool..the blade selection sucks, no thanks. Get yourself a Bosch or fein. Sorry for the rant.

Bremon Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 That's a rant alright, up until Starlock came out the XR was considered one of the top multitools ?, cuts nails, screws, etc. quickly and easily. Not bad for a "toy". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I get this impression is because you have said one time you used the 2.0 ah in it and didn't have an issue well no disrespect but you wouldn't if it was only once !Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the rant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The DeWalt blades are junk. Don't buy them. Sounds like you had a bad experience. I've used several brands and all different applications. Never a problem. We have one in each truck. I did have a guy tell me they weren't any good. Said they didn't have enough power. Of course he had never used one.

Sorry for the rant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Could not disagree more the two cordless dewalt multi tools we use are worked hard very often. They replaced corded bosch units on the truck. The MTP 100 piece blade set from amazon are decent blades and its nice to only lose $2 a pop when you dull one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 @Renner_construction....I've used fein 400-500$ ,not bosch ,ya nice tools And ya love Dewalts and love it's in my platform....it does everything we need...if I was a floor installer maybe go with a different brand...of course at 400-500 fein should be good......a test at pro tool reviews shows Makita as number 1.......use pro tools ?

Bremon Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Oh man. A clearance-priced Harbor Freight special like Festool outperforming the cordless Makita. I don't even know what to say about that. Pathetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the owner committed hara-kiri.I like my Makita, it's exactly what I expected for $150. I like the quick change mechanism a lot.I wasn't foolish to think it would perform better than a $300-$400 corded, but it sure as hell works better than my M18 ever did!

I am a person that makes money using my tools so i guess that makes me a professional and its a professional tool. Vibration? not any worse than others, use a larger battery, smooths it out noticeably. No power? Make sure you have a charged battery on it, that solves the no power problem. Toy? I suppose it sorta looks like a armless action figure when its standing upright. Blade selection sucks? Um I haven't found a blade I couldn't put on it(there is an adaptor and admittedly I've never tried to use a starlock on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
