DR99 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Some of the Festools have brushless tools that run on AC power. What I gathered brushless motors are actually AC motors from AvE's video on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wasn't the sound from an old NES video game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmill25 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I like how sleek and modern looking it is. I can see why they have that thick black security cable coming off the base of the handle because people would be too tempted to walk out of the store with them. Where does the battery go though ? Obviously the cord plugs into the battery. Sheesh, and you guys call yourselves professional. ;-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmill25 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 **eye-rolling emoticon-thingy here**Also is the drill $8.98 or is that the battery pack? I think the main reason the battery cord is so long is so you can wrap it around your arm so you can control it a bit better. I'm not sure this drill is OSHA approved.

Justin Hernandez Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 OSHA will now be inspecting battery cords after his post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hernandez Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hell no this drill is not OSHA approved, thats cause some stupid ass HD staff member dissapproved it with the false advertising. And the more I think about it the more I think that this was done intentionally in order to grab attention. And look how big this thread is over it, mission accomplished. I'd love to fire the one who did it, cause this is complete herecy lolHD knows how to do good advertisement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Next thing you know they are gonna come out with a battery powered corded drill![emoji6] Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 and here I thought the cord was just to charge it......quick yank and it goes in the handle like the hoover vacuum cleaners..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that cord is the pull start for a small engine that runs the drill. Instead of that inconvenient changing of the battery, we can now just carry gas jugs around.

kruton Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Maybe it's a corded solar power saw.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 LOL, You can't run a saw off of solar power, well, you can, but then you will burn it out from over voltage. Now if you ran solar panels to a charge controller, then to a set of batteries, then had an inverter off the batteries, you could then run the saw off of solar reliably.How about fission?Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
