roadhog96 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Has anyone noticed that the Multitool has a rubber bumper inserted into the middle of the tool base in the area were the battery latch makes contact. Wonder why they decided to add this feature. Wonder if the new dry wall gun has this feature also? Do you think this has anything to do with loose fitting batteries?

DR99 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 That does make sense as a way to assure the batteries have a more solid feel on the the tools. I wonder if anyone with other Dewalt tools can add to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadhog96 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Had to make a stop at Home Depot last night so I checked out the 20V dry wall screw gun on display. No rubber bumper for the battery on this one but the battery was snug with no movement. Didn't the dry wall screw gun come out after the Multitool? Why have it on one but not the other if it's a design change to correct the loose battery problem. This makes no sense, I don't get it.

Cody88 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Now I will be checking my multi tool when I go to work tomorrow along with my other tools to see if they have it Sent from my LGLS740 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadhog96 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 On the left: DCS 355, Right: DCF 895I know this is an old thread but I just noticed something else with the DCE355. Besides having the obvious rubber bumper in the middle of the base it has two small rubber bumpers on each side toward the rear of the base. I didn't notice those before. No wonder the battery is so snug. Now why didn't DeWalt do this on all the other 12V / 20V tools in the first place. Seems like they are always last to do things like this and only after they have tons of complaints. I don't understand how they cannot see flaws like this before they market something. Their design team needs a revamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William S Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I suppose since it vibrates so much they realized it made too much noise or disconnected during use. Why not use it on all tools though? I mean it can't be an expensive addition though for every tool it may get expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
