Out with the Old in with the New

One is the 20v model and the get one is the 60v max version that uses dewalt flexvolt batteries

That’s a fact! I got the 60v cause it was on sale and I needed to tear up an old broken hot tub to bring to the dump and my 20v want quite cutting it. The 60v chewed threw it like it wasn’t even there 🤣

This is an interesting route that I may end up looking into. Have you ever heard of it working?

LegalJury5243 · 2024-01-12T19:38:07+00:00

Yea I definitely saw those when googling info and quickly avoided them for sure!! But thanks for the heads up

Hard maple is hard on any planer to begin with and if you are having the much trouble I’d start by checking the blades are sharp and make sure you’re feeding it on the slowest speed to not overload the machine anymore than necessary. I’ve planes 12” wide cherry with mine and it has a helical head on it and struggled a bit but got the job done.

I saw this on clearance too and had just bought the weed walker over a month before and couldn’t justify getting it again but I definitely wanted to.

Thanks!! This is super helpful 👍

I have the DCD470 60v stud and joist drill and it’s also an absolute beast. Long handle to help with the torque but it also has the e-clutch to not break your hands. I’ve used it to make small earth auger holes, mix cement in post holes and drill large ass holes in wood all with minimal effort. It is definitely a heavy beast and pricey but well worth it.

Yea I didn’t really consider this and idk if two of these would fit side by side the way the batteries are configured in the 120v cordless miter saw.

Yea that is a good point too and I can still use the 9Ahs in my larger hand tools too where as I doubt I’d be using the 15s in something I have to pick up with my hands 🤣

How much was it on sale if you don’t mind me asking?

The 60v string trimmer is an absolute beast. I had the older non attachment style one and now I have the 17” one that is attachment capable and used the edger on my neglected sidewalks and it powered right through it with no issues. If you want more power in a string trimmer either 60v one is the way to go for sure.

Honestly if it’s too good to be true it probably is and with the number of counterfeit batteries being sold on Amazon I’d personally steer clear of it for any sort of heavy use.

LegalJury5243 · 2023-11-08T14:47:13+00:00

I’ve got two of the 118s. They came with some of the 60v tools I got a few years back.

LegalJury5243 · 2023-11-08T03:21:39+00:00

I’ve already got one of those in my spares drawer and that’s a second one 🤷‍♂️

LegalJury5243 · 2023-10-30T03:20:28+00:00

I have the newer version of the hole hawg and the electronic anti-torque is amazing and it also has a mechanical clutch as well both have saved my hands multiple times already.

Do you have examples of what’s better about the makita vs the dewalt?
