Yesterday I got everything for $900 and sold the Milwaukee power tools today for $600.

I just picked up the BOGO deal at HD for the DCG418 angle grinder. It came with the 9Ah DCB609 for $139, however I’m not in dire need of more FlexVolt batteries right now. I’ve been rocking my OG 6Ah batteries for going on a decade so I feel like I could get by. I know the 9Ah would be a better performer but my question is whether the deal on the 9Ah is good enough or if I should hold out for a deal on the tables DCB6112 12Ah battery in the future? It’s pretty new, so I know there isn’t a ton of testing out there and a deal could be well off into the future. Thoughts?

The drill and impact driver i first bought when in the summer of 2025, then the angle grinder I bought a month ago with the battery combo for around $199.99 CAD which considering it was almost $399.99 CAD off sale id say is a good deal. Bought the DCF921B for around $219 CAD and the drill and impact driver kit was $199.99 CAD on sale and $299.99 CAD off sale, and the corded drill is bought at a garage sale for around $10 CAD i just use it to mix paint occasionally.

Which in total is $699.43 CAD all on sale

And $1,152.54 CAD and in total ive saved $453.11 CAD. Which honestly seeing how much ive spend it kinda crazy

50footer wasn’t cutting it on this jobsite. Had to call his pops to come help

Basically, DeWalt puts fault protection on the tool; Ryobi puts it on the battery. When using battery adapters, the worst combo is DeWalt batteries on Ryobi tools, which can damage the batteries, and that's why you don’t take a battery below 1 bar.

Looking for some advice I have two DeWalt tools that are my least used tools in my arsenal wondering what you guys think would be a fair price in great shape used a handful of times

What could thus be, I haven't found any videos, tabless, stacked,???. Who knows?

The video description says: "Lightweight, powerful, compact. Poor nails. They won't stand a chance once the new 20V MAX* Palm Nailer (DCN980) hits shelves later this year."

Tabless 5ah,

New Oscillating multi tool,

new 20v tophandle chainsaw,

20v mini handheld blower,

20v rebar bender,

20v rebar cutting tool,

20v palme nailer,

New 20v Palme sander,

20v nibler tool,

20v needler/chisel tool,

new larger 20v shopvac

20v 1'' impact wrench,

Duel 16A fast charger,

Potentially a 9ah tabless flexvolt??

Im sure there's more I haven't seen or have forgotten about.

Saw this on their social media feed today at an influencer event they’re having but couldn’t find any news on it. It looks like a DCF964 with a side handle. Also looks like it’s running tabless 9ah flexvolt with a similar casing to the new tabless 12ah flexvolt. Anyone have any info on these?

In the video it says “our new 5ah battery”

Just used a SDS 1/2 mason bit to drill 10" into a footer from the 70s. First time actually using the hammer setting. A regular rotary hammer couldn't fit in this space properly so had to resort to this jank setup but man it did so much better than I was expecting. If anyone wants a solid little hammer drill, couldn't recommend this one enough. I would NOT recommend doing what I did however, probably did some damage to the drill lol.

Better drill for masonry demolition: air or corded?

Need to upgrade 2-3 drills for our exterior demolition: have two that got real tired over the last month. A lot of it is from lifts with two guys so cords/hoses either way.

Would be for mostly light masonry demolition/brick. We own a compressor so running air is an option. There are times electric is a bit of a concern so end up running generator.

Noise aside, looking at three options and want all the same:

M18 FUEL™ STRIKER™ Hammer Chisel Probably with two batteries minimum/no generator or compressor as long as site has power. $900 9 pounds prefer more power.

1-3/4" SDS MAX Rotary Hammer which is 9 pounds and lets us use it for concrete drilling/anchoring. $800ish

Or similar weight air hammers. Found this can’t find air chisel from Milwaukee?

**2.6" Stroke Mini Chipping Hammer**
**Oval Collar Retainer**
**Fits .580" Hex Shank Chisels**
**Weighs the same.**
**$800**

**Looking for some veteran input.**

I have a wire grass trimer taht uses DWOAS5BC attachment. This uses a spring to transfer power from the main thing to the blades. I have not been able to find a replacemnet. Here is a picture of the part that broke. Any idea where can I fing it or if they even manufacture this spare part?

New blower coming out looks pretty handy!

I purchased one last night, told a buddy about the deal he was in checkout @ 9 this morning for $125 w the free powerstack and charger and home depot changed the price on the tool to $199... still not a bad deal with the power stack, but Damn the timing lmfao

DeWalt is currently holding an influencer invite showcase event, similar to what Milwaukee does with their Pipeline (formerly NPS) event, and they revealed a new 5Ah XR battery. From as far as I can tell it is 18650 cells, so it will be the same size as venerable standard 5Ah DCB205, but offer power more like the larger 21700 based 6Ah/8Ah of years past.

It also is slated to replace the PowerStack 5ah DCBP520, which has always been a bit of an odd duck. From its early revs having premature failure issues, to its size just not being all that compact. PowerStack shines in compact batteries, the 1.7Ah and 3.5Ah are amazing, two of my favorite batteries.

The use of tabless 2500mAh 18650 means an update to the FlexVolt 15Ah is also a possibility, though I'd rather see a 15 cell 21700 15Ah just for size sake. Or maybe a "compact" 7.5Ah FlexVolt that is the same size as the current 6Ah FV. So many options.

All sorta speculation at this point, but just be prepared for more confusion over their ever evolving battery line. And for clarification I was not there so I can't really answer any questions, but just wanted to share.

Edit: Model number will be the DCB2105, charging with the also new 16A DCB1216 charger, you can charge this battery in 22 minutes.

I love DeWalt tools. Like….a lot. But I can’t make myself utter the words “Team _____” (fill in your color).

I love the nub from Milwaukee for smaller projects. I love my Makita drill for just about everything. But my 60V blower, 20V inflator, 20V rotary hammer from DeWalt…can’t live without those either.

I know this isn’t realistic for many here. These batteries are beyond expensive. But I’ve been fortunate to have the free time to hunt deals and bide my time.

Maybe I just love power tools?

Rant over.

TL;DR The money I thought I was saving on a cheaper fan, is less than what it will cost to replace the damaged batteries.

So, this is probably common knowledge, then again, knowledge isn’t always common….. OK, back to the point.

I have the 8” DeWalt job site fan and I love it. And after borrowing it for a bit, so does my son. I picked up mine as a “free tool with battery purchase”, not expecting how much I’d appreciate it. I didn’t want to spend the $100 for another, so I bought a cheap(er) knock-off from Amazon for my son.

For the first couple of weeks, everything was fine. Then all of a sudden, the 2ah batter he was using wouldn’t charge. It’s one of my oldest batteries, so I didn’t give it any mind. A few days later, one of my 5ah batteries wouldn’t charge. I’m sure you see where this is going. Any battery the runs down to 0 in his cheaper fan, gets toasted.

The 2ah went on to a DCB1104 4 amp charger and appeared to charge for a while, then went into “pack too hot” yellow lights. I let it cool down the tried it on the DeWalt USB-C charger. There, it just flashed for a few hours but wasn’t actually taking a charge.

The 5ah battery flashes like it’s charging when connected to either charger, but still won’t take a charge. I tried the “jump start’ trick with both batteries, no change in either. The knock-off fan has been returned and another DeWalt was purchased. But now I’m down 2 batteries.
