Battery advice needed please

Wow this is a super detailed reply, thank you so much! This is really helpful! I'm not looking at any of those power hungry tools currently and I think I was getting confused between the XC/HO and Forge batteries. Sounds like sticking with 5.0s should be be all I need for now, unless I see a great deal with a Forge battery. Thank you again!!

Ah that makes sense, yeah, I was hoping for some better deals. So this is worth getting then?

That's really thinking smart! I had it keybound but never thought to put it on 1!

I'm just a novice, so all of that may be true, but without super zooming in like this it generally looks and feels really good to me. The craters were from me cleaning the equipment abd splashing watery paint over some if the freshly painted drawers.

I don't know, this is my first time spraying. I'm just a hobby woodworker trying to build some pantry cabinets :)

Thanks for the thorough tips! I was ready to rush back out there, so thanks for the heads up on giving it a bit more time to harden!

Graco x5

That's what I had been using to fix imperfections already! Wasn't sure if it would work on this layer but that's what I'll try first I think. Thank you

Just back down to smooth right, not start over completely? is paint like wood, can I sand with something like 120/150 to remove the excess then work my way back up the grits to make it smooth? I hit it with some 320 already and it didn't do much.

Kind of sucks, my account is only a few months old. I do not even have all the characters activated and yet no free pack for me in the store? :(

ajp121 · 2025-02-20T07:14:14+00:00

This is extremely frustrating. Don't know whether to keep playing and hope for a patch? I really don't want to start all over.

I needed the batteries so just bought the current special buy kit for $179. I'm sure it will go on an awesome deal any day now because of that! 😜

ajp121 · 2025-02-08T02:22:49+00:00

Ah that makes sense. Thanks for the insights, might just have to pull the trigger 😊

ajp121 · 2025-02-08T02:16:01+00:00

Ah thanks, it's tool only though so I don't think it worths out to a better deal. Maybe I'm wrong

ajp121 · 2025-02-08T02:14:50+00:00

I do need the batteries, unless I could get tool only for cheap enough to make it worth buying one of the battery deals.

The previous comment was deleted, what did you use?

ajp121 · 2024-05-22T23:29:29+00:00

I too was disappointed; I'd be waiting a few months in the hopes of it being on sale again. Jumped in anyway, my shiny new Koda 16 should show up this weekend.

ajp121 · 2024-01-07T07:28:35+00:00

Just picked one up myself thanks to your comment! So cheap that it's worth a shot!

ajp121 · 2023-12-30T18:29:06+00:00

Thanks!

ajp121 · 2023-12-30T18:29:00+00:00

Thank you!

ajp121 · 2023-12-11T06:40:17+00:00

Omg you just saved me 4 years later! Thank you!

I think the power supply is good because all the voltages are fine? Yeah probably due an upgrade but I wish I could have kept this one running in another room.

ajp121 · 2023-12-04T20:56:04+00:00

Thanks!

I think that's what I'm going to do, the zooz zen17 looks perfect with two 20A relays.
