My Dewalt cordless tools have made me money! My Milaukee cordless tools suck. Milwaukee batteries are junk. I have Dewalt, Bosch and Paslode batteries that are over 10 years olld and still work. Milwaukee batteries, I had to replace every two years.
I agree other than the 60v batteries. They truly suck. I've had 4-5 completely die on me and are unusable. My company has a 60v hammer drill with the 12ah, one is basically dead and only charges to 2 bars and dies very fast. I was thinking since I sometimes use my 60v batteries on my 20v tools it takes a toll on it switching back and forth but the 12.0 stays on the 60v hammer drill only and it's dying. My 5ah power stack is a beast I love it. It lasts over a month on my impact only.
My Milwaukee batteries are junk also probably gonna switch to a dewalt drill ‘impact driver and reciprocating saw.Can’t even cut through a treated 2x4 without it draining down to nothing.
i don't have any Milwaukee tools, but battery technology has come a long way in the past 10 years and beyond. All the major tool manufacturers have their own versions of PowerStack and PowerPack now. i think the PowerPack is more for that extra umph on power demanding tools and the PowerStacks (Milwaukee = Forge) has good power too, but i think they cost more because they last 3x-4x more power charge cycles.
Also how well they stand behind their warranty is insane! Just got 2 brand new batteries just by calling them and 15 minutes later had new batteries approved and on the way! They asked for pictures of the batteries, the problem and the date stamp (has to be within 3 years) and receipt was not needed!
Dude the drill with the anti kick back is freaking awesome because the other day I had a drill a hole with a hole saw upside down and I got smacked in the eye I thought I broke some teeth so I definitely want that
I love the power stack , so curious about how the power pack compares. The power stack is all I buy. That 1/2” drill looks amazing and of course I want it , lol. Same with the new 1/4” impact.
Very annoying how we can get 6-1/2” and worm drive saws with left side blades, but the standard 7-1/4” only comes as a right side blade. Also, where is the non-sliding 10/12 inch cordless miter saw?
I went with Ridgid after being very disappointed with the 20v reciprocating saw. May be the only Dewalt tool I've ever been disappointed with. The circ and jigsaws cut like butter.
1:33 “Compared to its predecessor, the FlexVolt DCD999...” The DCD999 is not FlexVolt. It’s also one of two predecessors, since the DCD998 and DCD999 are essentially the same drill sold in two configurations at different retailers (Lowe’s PowerDetect and Home Depot’s FlexVolt Advantage). Despite one mentioning FlexVolt, both are 20V Max XR tools like the previous DCD996. Neither actually prefer the batteries they are marketed with since both perform better with a 6AH XR or 5AH PowerStack.
Watch the "torque test channel" The flexvolt advantage dcd999 out preforms the power detect dcd998. They are identical as far as looks but truly not the same. Also "20v max" is the power it's designed for and XR is extra run time, meaning brushless usually.
@John-771 TTC’s PowerDetect vs. FlexVolt Advantage testing is exactly what I am referencing when I point out that neither drill prefers their bundled battery and both perform better with a DCB206 or DCBP520. That said, the DCB609 (9AH FlexVolt) battery would perform even better than the DCB206 since it has an extra bank of the same high-current Samsung INR21700-30T cells. Furthermore, TTC’s DCD998 vs. DCD999 results were the one exception where the PowerDetect model came out slightly ahead of FlexVolt Advantage, so you got that backwards. Both drills have XR badging as does the DCD996. The DCB206 has since dropped XR badging in recent months and the DCBP520 has gained it but they are both the same batteries they previously were.
@@John-771 Oh: TTC literally quotes me in it. ;) To quote them, both tools performed “about the same” with their included batteries. Both preferred the DCB206 over their included batteries, and the DCD998 PowerDetect squeaked into the lead once unbounded by the 40T cells they just disparaged in today’s 8AH PowerPack video (DCB206’s 30T cells are higher-current).
I prefer Dewalt tools and batteries as a GC, but recently the batteries have got stupid expensive. I bought a few Waitley knockoff batteries to run my fan. The 6ah are more like a 4ah Dewalt but well worth it at $25 instead of $100.
So was power stack a huge flop? Don't get me wrong, love the 1.7 for things around the house and it's great in the atomic line but the 5ah with that thickness. I'm not hating on it, I grabbed 4 of them on clearance at $75 ea.
Dewalts recip saws are not good enough. The new looks like a flexvolt advantage without the logo. No adjustable shoe, rafterhook nor orbital mode. Also shorter stroke-length than some saws. In general, the circular saw, grinder and recip looks unchanged. But anyways, in general good tools
I'm a makita man, but i have to say, dewalt and hikoki are really temping... makita 40v stuff is really expensive.... and the dewalt flexvolt skill saw is max power/price combo..... my only gripe with hikoki and dewlt is the lack of a high voltage left hand blade 165mm skill saw.... this would be a game changer as thats the tool i do most my work with.... a flexvolt one of these or a 36v hikoki would probably make me consider changing platform...
2500 inch lbs? That’s what? Pretty much 210 ft lbs? I’m not being a hater, more like realistic and I just don’t see any impact driver putting out numbers like that lol but I bet it’s way better than the red brands latest model. Hear that things a pile of hot 🗑️ always breaking.
When the 860 reviews first came out it was mopping the red impact driver all around the board esp overseas...fast forward to now it magically lose's on every channel...lol
powerpack, powerstack, flexvolt, power assist, XR, At this point Dewalts battery and product line up, what works with what, whats optimised for what, is just too confusing.
@@Averageperson863 Yes I understand the difference between 12v 18v and 54v its just that dewalt keeps coming up with gimmicks like power pack and power assist which is turning their platform into a confusing mess
No tool line is is perfect, some tools and good on a line and others decent some bad. Just like trucks no one truck is perfect. People complain about dewalt tools and I’ve never had issues with mine. I guess I’m just lucky, but I also buy mine from a local lumber store which seems to have a better grade. Similar to buying from Walmart, these big companies have such large buying power they demand a certain price , the tool companies have one choice to bring down quality for these companies.
New tools! Meh, I have all of those and as far as new batteries who gives a hoot when you have 30ish. Newwww tools!! meaning... the same shhh just made differently boooo
Most users could care less what you call the battery . We care how long it lasts between charges . When Dewalt thinks it can charge the consumer $200 plus for a battery ,think again, the Chinese knockoff’s are popping up for 1/2 the Dewalt price and sadly,there both made by the same 8 yr old kids . Just a different color
@robertsmith3518 Not entirely true. The cells that are in these batteries aren't made by Dewalt, I presume they're made by Panasonic, Samsung or.... The Chinese knock-offs use inferior cells that are just as good in the first few charges, after that these cells deteriorate a lot faster as the quality cells. Not saying these cells aren't overpriced but you somewhat get what you pay for. Same goes for Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch,...
I agree about the price of oem batteries. I have 3 times the amount of Waitley batteries vs DeWalt. But in all honesty, I think most people either don't know about generic batteries, don't trust them, or want DeWalt batteries because they're pretty,
I got some knockoff batteries, identical counterfeits to Dewalt 6ah flexvolts. Even brand new, they died long before my well-used genuine Dewalt batteries did. They did not have Panasonic or Samsung cells like Dewalts do. The circuit board was also far less complex than genuine ones, which makes me suspect they don't have fire and short protections either. Regardless, I will stick with OEM batteries from now on.
You say all you care about is how long they last, then you will not be happy with the knock off. I have seen guys buy those and change out multiple times while my Dewalt batteries are still going strong. I will gladly pay 200+ dollars for a new battery cell technology that has far more power output and for a longer duration while keeping heat down. If you make money with your tools then i think its a good investment in my opinion
I've never bought a DeWalt tool in my life until last week and I wound up purchasing a total of five different tools I have nothing but Milwaukee and I can tell you that I absolutely despise the power and batteries that DeWalt has which makes me either want to return them throw them in the trash or just give them away
I have both , for instance the compact 20 volt DeWalt router has way more power than the Milwaukee, also the DeWalt twenty volt compact cuttoff tool has almost twice the power as the Milwaukee, then the Milwaukee impacts have more power than dewalts , The Milwaukee trim router is less power than the DeWalt but it is more slim n comfortable in the hand

Im very interested in the plunge router.
Is Dewalt going to make new flexvolt batteries with the tablets cells or pouch cells?
I love the power stack , so curious about how the power pack compares. The power stack is all I buy. That 1/2” drill looks amazing and of course I want it , lol. Same with the new 1/4” impact.
power pack is similar to flex volt 9ah. flexvolt just being slightly better voltage drop wise
Still no rafter hook on the reciprocating???
I have the new impact and it makes a huge difference screwing techs through 1/2in steel.
The most interesting tool would be the recip saw performance, without the new pack. Dewalt's flagship recip has always been lagging.
I have the Flexvolt recip and it is a real beast.
@@MrCubflyer Yeah, FlexVolt has a weight disadvantage, but for pure power, it's uncontested.
How much price for this machine now
I will wait for new xR multitool 20v ,,
Very annoying how we can get 6-1/2” and worm drive saws with left side blades, but the standard 7-1/4” only comes as a right side blade. Also, where is the non-sliding 10/12 inch cordless miter saw?
I use both saws.. I'm getting fond of the wormdrive flexvolt I bought... It's heavy, but balanced.
I’ve been had the 12” cordless miter saw. What are you talking about ?
@@keithosborne8558 you might want to reread my post.
Have XR DCF 860 and the 8 AMP POWER PACK just got the XR DCD 1007 COUPLE Days ago in KIT FORM
How do they perform ? I still have my old 887 and have very very rarely found anything it wont drive in.
@@MrCubflyer have not tried the 887 on the new POWER PACK but will do it but it has a lot of RUN TIME
how much better is the dcf860 compared to the dcf887?
No orbital mode or rafter hook on the recip saw 👎👎👎 I’ll wait or just get a Bosch.
I'd like to know where you get the tools’ accessories？😀
Unbelievable that they still have no VS dial or orbital switch or hook on the new recip. 👎🏼
I went with Ridgid after being very disappointed with the 20v reciprocating saw. May be the only Dewalt tool I've ever been disappointed with. The circ and jigsaws cut like butter.
Any idea when we might get a cordless 10" miter saw?
That has been available for a long time. Dewalt DCS727

still no rafter hook on recip😢
Get a flex! It’s a beast

Careful, I had one cheap knock off start a fire.
Just saw that HD has a special where the cordless router comes with a free 8ah powerpack battery. Probably limited time offer.
Not sure the point of this 8ah when u got 6ah and 9ah flexvolt batteries. Seems like some sort of overlap between xr and flexvolt
It's 1/2 the size of the flex volt 6ah
more power out of the new 8ah powerpack than the flexvolt stuff
wont heat soak and get too hot unlike other ones
6ah flexvolt is actually 2ah in 20v tools and 9ah is 3ah in 20v.
It's like having 3, 2ah & 3, 3ah 20v batteries, if that makes sense
So was power stack a huge flop? Don't get me wrong, love the 1.7 for things around the house and it's great in the atomic line but the 5ah with that thickness. I'm not hating on it, I grabbed 4 of them on clearance at $75 ea.
Find my 5AH power-stack batteries v good - will wait for the new 8AH to be on special to buy them
Dewalts recip saws are not good enough. The new looks like a flexvolt advantage without the logo. No adjustable shoe, rafterhook nor orbital mode. Also shorter stroke-length than some saws. In general, the circular saw, grinder and recip looks unchanged. But anyways, in general good tools
I just got the 6" circular saw see how that works in the basement
Im sure dewalts new tools will still accept flexvolt batteries is that correct?
If they'll accept standard 20v they should accept flexvolt.
How about Dewalt comes out with an actual new tool. Something we could get excited about like a cordless 90 die grinder.
I just bought the new compact presstool with Dyes for $2400. You never see the rarely purchased tools advertised.
First to do cordless nailer, fan, router and a few more.....stop being silly

All nice @dewalt. But the prices are not justified. Milwaukee offers same for less.
And also offers less quality. Just look at Milwaukee’s gen 4 impact’s problems.
