    Bro.... that video you did years back was the reason i started watching your channel!!!!! Thanks to you, despite still going with dewalt in my house, i knew to NOT trust the package deals and buy the XR level tools individually. All thanks to you. You probably saved me a thousand bucks by making me double check the tools i bought.

  • @LeadFoot500

    The 18v ni-cad 3 speed dewalt drill was a torque monster and never cut out when fully loaded. The batteries lasted ten years solid too. I miss that combo.

    XR stands for extended run, that was their new battery technology

    • @jimmaul

      Which makes it even weirder that it's also on the tools themselves.

    • @InspiredCraftsman
      @InspiredCraftsman Год назад

      Yes to the extended run but the xr was also generally a heavier duty line with brushless motors and better components. Most of non xr are brushed motors.

    Great video. I am a big DeWalt fan personally. One thing that keeps me with DeWalt is how good the customer service is. If something breaks or has issues within the warranty period they will send you a free replacement. My first and last experience with Milwaukee was after i had issues with electrical hand tool grips slidding off. Milwaukee basically told me to pound salt. I have never looked back and I have since spent tens of thousands of dollars with DeWalt and I won’t give Milwaukee a dime of my money!

    @k.j.hastings Год назад +3

    I can see how the XR logo was confusing. I would say, however, that if the entire kit was brushless then it would probably be highlighted prominently on the packaging as that's a major selling point.

    I also love my DeWalt tools. Once you are heavily invested in the batteries they pretty much got you. I own several corded DeWalt tools that I've had for over fifteen years and they still work great. I recently have been collecting all the 60V line and have most of them along with several 9Ah batteries. The six inch grinder is a beast. This is a great option for DIYers and off grid builders because it's easy to charge the batteries on solar.

    Jesse glad to see your back! This follow up video is great! As an owner of Dewalt tools this has been a great follow up. The first video made me pay attention to the brushless choice when I upgraded. I still am using my original 18V tool set in my off grid hunting camp, and enjoy my brushless set also, because you educated me to the difference. Been watching since you put in the septic system..... As a fellow pilot, keep the dirty side down and the clean side up. See you at KOSH one of these years in late July. EZFlyr

  • @Fei8lo
    @Fei8lo Год назад

    I am happy to see the comment section back. The older brushed tools often have more torque compared to many brush-less tools. They can power through things by using tons of current/power but you suffer on efficiency and battery life. Brush-less tools will try to protect the electronics in the tool and stop that type of behavior. Stalled brush-less drill will stop while a brushed drill will keep pushing current and get hot.

    For what it's worth I use old technology. The tools we had 20 or 30 years ago that were contractor grade are now super cheep. Lots of cordes tools and even some nicad stuff in my garage and lots of air tools. I am fine with a basic 20 dollar corded brushed drill for lots of tasks. The drive to have the best newest isn't important for me. If most houses were built without the newest battery technology in the contractors truck will several hundred dollars of tool really help me? I generally am fine with corded tools and harbor freight chinesium. One bennifet of not spending to get the "newest and greatest"is having extra in the budget to get the correct tool. I'd rather use a 20 dollar grinder with a 3 dollar cutoff wheel than a brushless drill with the best battery to cut metal

    I’ve seen someone review this kit before and got upset. And I can understand your disappointment, but at the same time it’s very obvious what is in the kit and as a consumer we have to be more aware of what we’re buying.

  • @TheSmoothGrind
    @TheSmoothGrind Год назад

    I have NEVER worn out a brushed tool. I have a ton of DeWalt 20v cordless tools, I have for many years and have had great results as a full time handyman. Milwaukee makes a great tool and even Rigid are pretty good for the price point.

    Thanks for this update video. I had considered purchasing that same kit until I saw your first video where I learned that the Dewalt Kit wasn't what I thought it would be either. This update makes me feel a little better about the Dewalt Brand overall, however now that we are full time RVers I had to make an executive decision on which brand to get for on-the-road and it wasn't Dewalt. Their loss is another brand's gain in my case. It would be interesting if you would do a brand comparison on some track saws since you might be doing that type of work in the not-too-distant future. Maybe the top brands will send you some demo models to test, and don't forget the 90 degree angle add on options if you do test some of these tools.

    Hey Jessie , I totally agreed with that video you posted when you bought the dewalt kit , it actually made me focus and carefully buy all my new tools , now I only purchase the newest brushless tools and only buy them one at a time ( ps the Milwaukee brushless grinder’s are fantastic by the way ! I’ll never go back to my old corded grinders unless I’m in my shop at my bench within arms reach of a plug 🤣
    Thanks for the update video👍🏻😁

  • @nickmac5953

    Most of my Milwaukee tools are brushless. However the brushless sawzall in both the M18 @ M12 are heavier and larger so I went this the more compact and lighter versions.

  • @insecureinvestorchallenge7366
    @insecureinvestorchallenge7366 Год назад +1

    I have decided to build my tool system off of Dewalt… but the only thing I don’t really like is there lack of customer service and sale representatives. I have called them repeatedly to try to get a hold of a representative that knows the product lines to put together the tools and systems I need. In my experience then I am unfortunately passed off to retail employees of stores that are not trained on the ins and outs of their product or a dedicated position to assist customers in their purchase.
    I remember the original video regarding Jessie‘s purchase of Dewalt tools and the sly details he found. I am grateful for that informative video as it helped me try to open my eyes and be more particular. I don’t like to let on that I have an invisible disability and the support of a sales customer service specialist that knows the product line is a big help in managing what I need. With or without a disability then this lack of support of a dedicated sales representative from Dewalt is one of the biggest downsides that I don’t like about Dewalt.
    Being referred to their website to figure it out yourself, trying to screen for issues that Jesse brought up, trying to build a full tool pack out system that is integrated and works seamlessly between batteries, tool needs, organizational pack outs and etc is quite an investment. Time and money is important… and sending people to their website to “figure it out” doesn’t make me feel that they respect or value my time or money. I’m basically being told that I need to learn their product line and decide for myself.
    The last person at a retail shop (that I was not going to be buying from) was very patiently annoyed with me as I was asking him to spend a dedicated amount of time out of his job to help me in a capacity that Dewalt will not. I needed to ensure that all the parts and pieces that I needed were going to connect (thread on) correctly and that I wasn’t missing any parts and pieces that I needed to order that I might accidentally assume be already in my order. Unfortunately, I did end up ordering one item too many because this person said it was not included in one of the items I was ordering.
    It has gotten to the point that I almost want to flag down a Dewalt representative (that was on the highway) when I saw them driving in a Dewalt skinned truck to actually get some help from a competent representative that could tell me what I needed so that I can just go purchase it. 😳🤔🤦‍♀️🙄😒
    Despite this… I decided to build my tool line with Dewalt because some of the best tools that I need are made by them and I’m not interested in jumping to different brands that don’t work together as a system. I can only hope that Dewalt will look at maybe a company like Schluter that has regional representatives available to directly support their customers/DIYers and contractors in their local regionally assigned area. I don’t expect Dewalt to provide the hands-on training for free regarding their tool that Schluter offers for their products and legal standards in waterproofing and tile. I have no incentive or affiliation with Schluter but as a company then I really admire their products, customer service, warranties and complete package of support. I can only hope that Dewalt will look at companies like Schluter and decide to make changes to support their customers better. Thank you!

  • @davidapp3730
    @davidapp3730 Год назад

    Another great video. Thank you for letting us know that DeWalt got back to you about the issue you had with the kit.
    I tend to not buy kits of tools like that because you usually get several tools you rarely use mixed in with those you want. I try to find the Naked tools as I have plenty of batteries.
    I do prefer DeWalt tools. They have served me very well.

  • @robroysyd
    @robroysyd Год назад

    I was glad to hear you make the point that brushed or brushless makes little difference. One could well argue it's a marketing ploy to get you to replace all your still good tools with the "latest".
    As for batteries; I'm glad when one goes flat. It's a good excuse to take a well deserved break. I do have three batteries but the better half doesn't know that. 😃

    Glad you did this video to explain more in detail
    It didn’t slow me down on buying DeWalt brand
    I just review each tool more closely
    I don’t buy the Milwaukee brand because I started out DeWalt from there old 18 volt to 20 volt & 40 volt to now 60 volt like them all
    Now I’ve really got into there 12 volt system at Lowe’s there all subcompact brushless Extreme System plenty of power & Lightweight
    Love them thanks for the videos

    This is more or less the same for other tool lines too. The combo kits usually aren't brushless and often lack a few features their stand-alone tools might have, makes the combo deal not what it seemed. The Burb Billy did a good video on this a few years ago.

    The real "eureka!" moment is when you get a Milwaukee 12V impact driver and realize that you've been lugging around that brick for no good reason. Take it from a guy with six red impact drivers--the Torx, Phillips, Robertsons and straight bit go on the 12V's and the Vix and countersink bits go on the 18V. Two Milwaukee tool tips that are super-awesome, the installation drill/driver kit (the one with four heads) and the metal cutting circular saw. The Festool installation drill driver is actually better, if for no other reason than it stands upright, but it's twice the price.

  • @209turtleboy
    @209turtleboy Год назад +1

    DeWalt is the only company that puts the blade on the left side of their skill saw.
    I don't run DeWalt but am thinking about it when I upgrade.
    That blade on the left, "where you can see it while your cutting" is weighing heavily on my decision.
    I hate that I have to lean over my left handed saw to see my guides.👍

    XR stands for EXtreme Runtime, all Dewalt tools have a cheaper version, if you want the best of each tool you need to buy them separate, you have to look for the top of the line or most expensive version, but not everyone needs the best version.

Thanks.
