Didn't realise 40v was that much quicker in cutting rebar than the 18v. Looks like a move to the 40v by the end of the year is on the cards.

@derfacecrafter1869 Жыл бұрын

did it last year. i only have 3 18V tools, no batterys left and also no charger left. started with GA023G and 2x4AH Batterys and also bought the DF001G and the LS003. A monster of a tool but its so damn cool. For 3 years i´ve used the DGA504, but the GA023G is on another lvl. if you want to switch, Do it. Tools & Stuff: is a 40V Impulse Impact driver coming? DTD141 is the only tool i still miss in 40v System. TD001 is too loud.

That X-Lock business is pretty friggin sweet. Never have seen anything like that in the US outside of the Fein / Bosch multitools. It would be great if it took off and became common among third party disc makers, especially since it's backwards compatible with the old standard style. Just the same, the grinder would be killer if it took the more common discs as well, even if an adapter was needed.
