jeffmcmillan Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hahahaha. I'm lying here in bed having trouble sleeping I'm so pumped up. I been wishing for the reciprocating saws for yearsI need to get a life LolI'm with you. It's been painful watching tool after brushless tool when, for one of my favorite tools, I'm stuck with a cord or a painfully outdated cordless tool. At least I'm not invested in Dewalt waiting for anything to go brushless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those poor dewalt guys! You hit the nail on the head to exactly my fustrations.. so many times it would be the only corded tool I would have to setup on site.
