    In our shop, the DEWALT FlexVolt Recip Saw is mostly used for metal. The DEWALT Recip Saws one major flaw! None of the saws have an orbital mode so they can be slower at cutting large wooded objects.
    DEWALT has been saying that the Power Detect and Flexvolt Advantage tools are built to accept more power from the larger batteries. With the FlexVolt Advantage Recip Saw, we wonder why one would want to opt for less power out of the same sized saw. Why not just buy the FlexVolt?
    We pushed these saws to show a power difference. While taking things to an extreme, one of the blades broke making for a close call! Do not use saws like this!

    Man you needed some new blades bad. Seems like your getting a little sloppy looking for new content. Your struggling to even find words for some of the video. It might be worth not uploading as much and take the time to do things right and make the video clean. I can appreciate the "behind the scenes" type of thing showing the mistakes to a degree but it would be nice to just have a well put together video of the testing and talking like you use to do. Your dedication to putting out videos and getting some sort of result to show us is amazing though and no one can take that from ya.

    Great review as always, to bad the Dewalt didn't put a rafter hook on the new model, like I did on the FLEXVOL reciprocating saw, but I am am saying they didn't put a rafter hook on the circular saw like I did where all they had to do was to put the rafter hook on the front handler, not to make another mold for the carcase.
    Thanks again for your efforts and time allocate to educate , if not to many at list me, myself and I.

If he is doing tool reviews he should have a table setup to rest the tools on instead of just throwing on floor or vibrating off.

    I think you're right, the form factor alone if you ignore the price tag is a burden, so you might as well get the best version of the tool possible. Carrying, and storing tools is also a factor for every organized tradesman.

    As a DIY'er, I am going with the FA.
    I already have 1 FV battery (6Ah) and 5 regular 20v batteries (2 - 2AH, 2 - 4AH and 1 6AH). I will start projects with the FV battery (when using FA tools), and can switch to the non-FA batteries while recharging the FV.
    If I went with the FV tool, I would either need to shell out more money for another battery or sit around waiting for the FV battery to recharge.

      I believe we proved the FA to win over the PD in the drill videos IF and only if you use FV batteries. It really depends on if you have FV batts or not as to what one to buy. If you are a 20-volt guy, forst buy the cheaper model or go PD

    Good video😊. You make a good point about those of us already having flexvolt battery. It seems like a waste to buy a big saw that only partially reaches the full potential of the flexvolt, when you could buy the compact xr version that is so much more convenient for tight spaces. You won't get the full advantage of either if you choose flexvolt advantage.
    Also where the frig is the rafter hook already!? I'm so tired of digging through piles of rubble to find my stinking saw. All my other dewalt tools have some method of suspending them out of the way of my destruction, except for the one that's notorious for causing the most chaos!
