    Milwaukee M18 Fuel hole hawg vs Dewalt 60v brushless

    Same reason a diesel truck has more than one gear. Economy and torque multiplication. The E-clutch I'm not sure of. Could be a version of the accelerometer tech or whatever Bosch has built into some of their drills. The One Key also has some version of an e clutch I believe in the settings...

    Reviews I've seen stated the U hooks to the back when you aren't clamping it to a stand so the head spring doesn't knock the saw back when the head returns to the default position.

    Milwaukee M18 Fuel hole hawg vs Dewalt 60v brushless

    Of course it does. It has 2 speeds and weighs something like 5 lbs more than the Hole Hawg. It's both lighter and shorter than a Super Hawg but can do the same work; the extra grunt has to come from somewhere; a significantly bulkier front end is where. The Hole Hawg only has "high" gear: 1200...

    Milwaukee M18 Fuel hole hawg vs Dewalt 60v brushless

    I really like how compact and light the hole Hawg is. Super Hawg length is a bit much. The two speeds on the FlexVolt and short length really help it compete against vith M18s but the Hole Hawg is my favourite for reasonably small holes.

    They're in stock in Canada at most tool houses. I know from other forums that guys have got them from Home Depot. The bonus battery in the kit comes in the box and isn't a retailer-specific promo.

    Contact BC Fasteners. I've dealt with them a lot and they supposedly have tons of empty cases. They'll likely be able to help you out. In other news, ordered the Fuel braking grinder today to upgrade from my 2780.

    Milwaukee Fuel vs Dewalt Flexvolt Miter Review

    All the data I can find says that the HD9.0 takes 95 minutes to. Hedge on the rapid charger (5 amp output?) and 180 on the standard M18 charger (3 amp output). FlexVolt charge time on the rapid charger is 1 hour. This article would lead me to believe that the FlexVolt batteries are charged one...

    Milwaukee Fuel vs Dewalt Flexvolt Miter Review

    The blade on the 12" is 20% bigger in diameter than the 10". The blade itself is more than 20% bigger though. 3.14 * 5 * 5 = 78.5 sq inches 3.14 * 6 * 6 = 113 sq inches The 12" has 44% more surface area than the 10". I like the portability of the 10" but the capacity of the 12". The hybrid...

    Those little keychain tapes are awesome. I take one everywhere. I ordered the 2866-22CT screwgun kit w/ rapid charger today. Pretty pumped for that.

    The DeWalt Addiction Thread

    Certainly no hard feelings, yellow takes a lot of **** for SB&Ds many corporate blunders though. There are some great tools in there, you just need to be selective. Milwaukee certainly has industry leading saws but mitres; I would disagree. The Fuel is a much better first try than their nailers...

    Anyone else like Knipex?

    I'm definitely an advocate for Knipex; they make great stuff and the comfort grips are definitely worth the small premium.

    That keyhole for wall mounting is the same as the 2361 octagon. I'm glad to see you like the search light, I'll likely pick one up in the next few weeks. Recently got the updated 1500 lumen 2361 that can fit the 9.0.

    The DeWalt Addiction Thread

    You're talking to someone who has thousands of dollars worth of Fuel and "TrueView". I also said CAD, ie: Canadian dollars, so my pricing comment still stands unless you feel like tracking down some killer deals for me (I would appreciate it). We also don't have any battery toss-in deal on the...

    And actually use that 5 year warranty? That's crazy talk.

    Lots of brushed tools in that pile. Anyway, at work our roofing division has tons of broken 20v Max. I don't hold it against Dewalt, I know what kinds of people were holding those tools and most have less brains than the drills, impacts, saws they abuse. There's not enough "Guaranteed Tough"...

    I had both the M12 and M18 lanterns, I preferred the form factor of the M18 and increased output, so gave the M12 to my parents who live on an average and are fairly deep in M12. I've used the M18 camping and am very happy with it.

    Their prices on some of their lights are absolutely ridiculous. Stand lights and radius light especially. The small M18 flood isn't too bad. The M12 stick light is great and can be found as a free toss-in. The lanterns are fairly handy and go on sale here and there.

    Looks to be shortly. It's listed on a Canadian retailer site now. $500 CAD for the light, $750 with a 9.0 battery. 2866 screwgun kit listing is up as well. $200 CAD for bare tool, $300 with 2x 2.0 and a rapid charger, $400 for 2x 5.0 and a slow charger. Value at $300 I'd say. Drywall cutout...
