CD1982 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 well I have some questions for you other dewalt users.. I work at a local student housing complex and two weeks ago they were broken into..all of my cordless tools and various hand tools were taken along with the propertys and coworkers.. I had the 18volt stuff and my fav was my impact I used it more than the other cordless tools.. im trying to get the company to replace all my things and I hope it happens.. so im thinking about making the jump to the 20volt brushless drill and impact.. any input on this set infact im looking at the DCK281D2 drill and impact kit at lowes..ill also get the other cordless items in 20v light skillsaw and sawzal in 20v.. is it worth the jump or should I just get all new 18v stuff. I know I liked the battery life of my 18v stuff never had issues. and that impact would do anything I needed it to do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 i have all the tools you mention, they are great gear. definately don't go back to the 18V XRP stuff. The only thing you might toss up is switching to Milwaukee or Bosch etc. But if you like Dewalt, what you have proposed is a good idea. Though you'll probably want to grab a 4.0/5.0Ah battery at some point for the circular saw... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know what your missing out on Lithium ion is the way to go unless you work every day in -20 Celsius or colder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Love my 20v line up. It was the best decision I made . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 You can get better deals on the new generation of tools and the other thing its they have so much better ergonomics, run time, and weight now. Plus Dewalt is going to make 18v xrp batteries but you would get a bunch of the newer tools that they have released like the oscillating multi tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 The oscilating 20v is way better than the corded version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 in what sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Sorry to hear about you getting your tools stolen, some people are such dirt bags..I own Makita 18v and Milwaukee 12v and love both of them but nowadays you really can't go wrong with tools from any of the big brands. I would say jump to the 20v-max line if staying with Dewalt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
