LORDDiESEL Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I've been waiting almost 3 weeks for this order! I still didn't get my 6 bay charger tho, dammit. 8 1/2 for the new fuel circ with a 4.0 battery. Old trusty! She made me a lot of money. I won't miss the extra weight. Just over 10 lbs! The new fuel sawzall is a tank at 9 lbs!!!! My 36 volt at 8 1/2 The grinder at just over 5 1/2 ( I LOVE THIS TOOL!!!) All the extras the grinder comes with. I'll never use the guards. They give you an option for letting the tool breathe. Mesh for extra fine dust??? And the fuel family shot. :beer: I will be taking the new tools to work with me tomorrow. I'm going to BEAT on them to see how tough they are. The skill saw has big shoes to fill replacing my 36 volt dewalt. I will beat them on the job site for a month. Then i will give a real world review of how they perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Wow, awesome purchase! You guys keep ordering all this fuel shit and it's making me jealous. My pre-fuel stuff is still in awesome shape and I just can't justify replacing it. I can still drool over it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 You just need too slowly dip your toes into the fuel lineup Conductor. If anything I would saw get the saws they are amazing for a cordless tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Wow you must have won the lotto to get all that. Very nice and interested to see how you like them. I use mine and love them. That grinder is amazing how it doesn't bog down. Personally I think you will be impressed over the dewalt 36V, but interested to see what you think.

Javier Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 That's some nice gear. Well done. What makes it interesting is that for a time I considered getting the dewalt 36v stuff, mostly for the circular saw because of the full size power but didn't because of the limited lineup. Let us know how the fuel stacks up to the 36v stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 The Makita 36v 2 18v pack saw is a cool idea I'm curious to see how it performs against the fuel. Some guys need that extra cut capacity more than anything with their circular saw. The Dewalt 36v stuff is pretty dated now the same with the the Milwaukee M28 line. Bosch and Makita have been adding to and updating their 36v tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 That grinder only weighs that much??? Hope you bought enough batteries lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORDDiESEL Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Thanks guys. The circular saw pissed me off today. Well, it's not really the saws fault. I was ripping some 2x6 into 2x4 and the battery kept overheating and shutting the saw down. I hope this doesn't happen all the time. I was pretty embarrassed having to bring out my dated 36v dewalt to finish the job. I'm pretty bummed about it. Was it just one battery that gave you problems?

regopit Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Man that is awesome. I'm getting ready to stick my toe in the Milwaukee waters and you just jumped in with both feet. Way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeth Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Wow, awesome purchase! You guys keep ordering all this fuel shit and it's making me jealous. Dont be jealous by the time your tools gets beat-up a new and more powerfull tool will come out My pre-fuel stuff is still in awesome shape and I just can't justify replacing it. I can still drool over it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORDDiESEL Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Fuel circular saw. Likes: Light weight. Balance. Easy to handle. Grip is great. Dislikes: The hype on the net about how great it is. Low power. Overheats the batteries very quickly. Depth of cut. What can i say guys? I'm pretty disappointed with this saw. For being brand new, i thought it was going to kick ass. You do not get longer run time out of this saw, because it overheats the batteries. Sorry to say, but this saw is a joke on the job site. There is no way it could ever replace my old 36v dewalt. If i had not got a screaming promo price on the saw, i would be returning it. Not happy with it at all.

You might have either got a bad saw or a bad batch of batteries I would have it checked out. My fuel circular saw has ran great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I agree. Something doesn't seem right that it's overheating and not running long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
