I thank you Clint. the older is a lot easier to do with my schedule.

I thank you kart and I am glad that your that I was able to help you out :)

That HO 5ah will make my M12 baby chainsaw w/ 8” bar/chain setup work that much mo better! Lol Great video Dave!

I am glad I can help :) that is why this channel is here

you are welcome

I thank you Patrick

it wouldn't be a bad idea

I did do a video on that 2.5 ah

the 5ah is totally worth it

I thank you Jamal

that is what why I'm doing these videos again. they are easier to film and edit as well

I thank you Sutherland

It is to me, because the HO battery allows me to keep using an M12 drill...Having M12 and M18 is as bad as running 2 different brands.

@@procrastinator1842 I understand the utility, I just look at the M18 3.0 HO batteries where you can get 2 packs for $120 and I'm forced to wonder how an M12 5.0 with smaller and less cells somehow comes in at the same price.

@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter I agree they are overpriced considering there is no electronics inside the battery cases. To be honest, pure $$$ is not the driving factor for me. I carry these tools around every day to make my living. To me, portability convenience and light weight is #1.

I built a 2.0 CP pack with 3x 20S cells. I haven't made any measurements but it appears to hit slightly harder than the 6.0, and clearly trumps the 4.0. I also bought a 9 cell battery shell and filled it with 9x Molicel P26 cells. Amazing power, you can really lean on the tools and they don't cut out. The battery stays cold even at full load with the SDS drill with a 20+mm bit. No fading of power until it's basically dead flat.

@@procrastinator1842 yeah 20s are best 18650's and p26 and 28 are most powerful in "2.5ah" range, great choice! I used 20s to make makita 40v packs and also have some 30T's for bigger cases once they arrive :)

​@@riba2233 For sure the 20S is incredible. 40A from an 18650! I decided to use the P26 is a 3s3p configuration because 90+A is well and truly sufficient...20S cells aren't necessary for that, more capacity was the goal. Although I matched the cells and found the capacity of the Molicels a lot less consistent than the Samsung ones. I have a couple of the new M12 Fuel gen 3 drills coming in the mail from the USA...Can't wait to do torque tests with my custom 2.0 and 8.0 packs. More importantly I'm hoping that I can use 1" self feeding spade bits without constant cutting out. Drives me nuts but I'm too stubborn to switch h to M18 😂

Yah what do you think lasts longer?

@@2hotscottpro I ended up purchasing the High Output 5.0. I did a test. I ran the fan on high with the fully charged HO 5.0 battery and it lasted right at 4 hours. I believe that's about what you would get from a 6.0 regular battery.

I haven't noticed that. a tough task will definitely effect a tool but I dont think the batteries will too much

the hammer feature on the gen 2 is better but the new hammer drill has more torque

@@ManCaverTools because it has more torque will it drill concrete better even though the boms are less

cells they use are from 2018 so yeah they could have made it earlier

The 5ah HO battery is my go to with m12 tools.

I experienced the same thing with the new 6ah HP Ryobi batteries. used it twice and it died. I did a video on that. but quality control with TTI seems to be down

@@ManCaverTools i bought a flex 6 1/2 inline cir saw a few weeks ago. It was a kit with saw charger and 1x 5ah battery. Everything in the kit was good. Well today i pickup up a second 5.0ah battery from lowes...got it home and opened the package to find black gooo all over the battery. I googled it and its battery acid! I went back to lowes and got a replecement. This one seems ok. Now I'm kinda thinking that maybe all brands are shyte now. I think they are all making their garbage to cheaply. It looks like a loose/loose situation to me. I give up.....

@@unclefester4626 id return that battery immediately, Quality control is slacking for most brands. you will be surprised how many people comment complaints about their brand new tool

@@ManCaverTools i did. Lowes was good about taking it back. I thought it was a little bit funny when they broke out the gloves and their haz mat kit. They put it a special bag and poured a box of baking soda in it. I think they've been through this before?🤔😁 I went over to get a replacement from the locked case. The girl let me check every remaining battery 4x. They were all dry...no black acid goo in them. I bought one and went on my way. To me the whole thing seem weird. None of the failed milwaukee batts ever leaked. While i was there i ran into the guy who worked that department but was off for the weekend. I told him about the milwaukees. He said if they don't warranty them that interstate batteries or batteries plus can rebild them with new cells that are leaps and bounds better that what most manufacturers put in them. Might go that route if i have to.

I put them through the ropes this summer. I got a little hole in the index finger now. they lasted a lot longer than the Milwaukee gloves did

there is no reason to buy it to replace a battery. if additional batteries are needed the new 5ah HO battery is a good option

I can do that

I think they should have put these in the new kits

my fingers are fine lol

@@ManCaverTools lolz it’s seems sketch but then is saw that square opening that you put your hand into

indeed

lol

for certain tools the battery really does come in handy
