BOLTR: DeWalt Mo' Powah!

20V DeWalt cut off saw is the best one to date. The guard is crap; otherwise build quality is fantastic!

​@UnimportantAcc probably what you're used to. I don't want to start a brand war, but I use makita and can't stand the triggers on milwaukee or dewalt. Definitely "what you're used too" plays a part in it.

[@UnimportantAcc]

@@wearsjorge55 fair enough i do like the makita gear, in particular their cordless circular saw /w swarf collector made me want to switch over from dewalt ahaha

[@Patrick-857]

I run makita and Dewalt. Dewalt is pretty tough actually, but always a little rough. They take serious abuse unlike Milwaukee which dies all the time. Makita is smooth, ergonomic, precise and really reliable, but it always lacks a bit of power. I run both for a reason.

I did some work for an elder gentleman last year who owned a company that sold farm implements. I was assisting him with clearing out the facility as he sold the building and company, or so I thought, but that's a different story. Anyway, he loved to do business with India. He said that once you form a relationship with them and you know they make quality product, it stays that way every time you buy from them. If you've ever done business with a Chinese supplier, you likely found that while they could make very high quality product, they weren't consistent, and without constant checking up on their quality, it would degrade over time. I've heard this from everyone I've talked to about doing business there from private label to generic cheapo stuff. Not sure what the difference is in culture between the two countries that makes the difference, but I'm not surprised to see "Made In India" on a very nicely made tool after having had his tutelage on the subject. I'm always a big fan of competition in the marketplace, and lord knows we here in North America aren't really in the conversation any more, nor are the Japanese or even Europe. Good to see others stepping up to the plate. Kind of scary when there's only one game in town.

[@thegreatgali1739]

You mentioned how the MFGs are making things cleaner on the inside lately. I think you have had a hand in that, guys like me are engineers nowadays and watched your channel in college and since then. Good teachers make positive change in the world!

[@adamsteinhardt6393]

I’m an engineer, admittedly not mechanical and so machining isn’t my area of expertise. I was at a supplier yesterday tearing down a very high dollar, complex, and specialized valve that had failed while in service and there were several points where I would have loved to have AvE there to just provide his experience and see his reaction. Several different techniques, metallurgy, elastomers go into making this valve, no expenses spared, and half of them I recognized or had first seen watching an AvE video.

[@markfergerson2145]

Good to hear the world is finally getting back to the 1960s and 1970s in that regard. I was taking tools apart long before KZbin existed too, but my mother didn’t care as long as I put them back together afterward.

[@ac.creations]

[@drakes89]

​@@ac.creationsthat's cost savings as well. Get two birds stoned at once!

[@SkyhawkSteve]

at 12:30, regarding the crimp-on wire termination... this permits just soldering that termination pin into the board, avoiding the issues with soldering the wires. A main reason to do this is that you don't have solder wicking up the strands, creating a stress riser where the solder stops. This would usually require strain relief to avoid wire fatigue and failure. There can be other advantages, such as being easier (potentially) to get all of the strands into the terminal. I've seen issues with a few strands not going through the hole in the board and sometimes shorting to adjacent wires. As an engineer, I've seen this pop up on one of my products with serious implications. No fun!

[@debochch]

The main reason is they clip into the PCB. The PCB can then go through the wave soldering machine with out the wires falling out of the through holes. They will probably do 200ish at a time (20 x 10 PCBs all still connected together). It would be a impossible to go through without the wires secured into the PCBs. Also, once soldered, a jig will be used to RTV all 200ish solder joins in one go. Then the individual PCBs are just snapped off the original master PCB.

[@SkyhawkSteve]

@@debochch good point! Lots of advantages to the method, despite an added part (the terminal) and process.

[@emmettturner9452]

The “flap” is a slot for an optional Bluetooth “ToolConnect” smart chip module that lets a foreman track tools, assign tools, disable/enable tools, and receive alerts when tools are taken. Some interlocking tool cases have a slot for it too. They make a battery interposer that can lock in to the battery slot to add the same functionality to their tools that don’t have the chip slot.

[@emmettturner9452]

Also, the depth gauge/dust extractor comes off the tiny adjustable blade guard without tools… just like the Milwaukee version. You just have to drop the depth gauge all the way and slide the release button. The flip-up window lets you change the disc without removing the dust extractor, which would be appreciated by the rare breed who would actually uses it. The Milwaukee and others do not allow for this.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

The part about 10 years ago tools being gross on the inside is wild. The fact they are making things better is something I never thought we would see. I mean they are making them cleaner better is arguable. Anyways actually love that the guard is not welded to the machine like a lot of tools now and the reverse switch so you can shoot the sparks toward the oil bucket instead of your wool shirt is nice.

[@Varadiio]

Well I'm sure someone less philosophically-challenged than myself will poke holes in my theorem, but if a brand is showing everyone they don't care, people begin to suspect that they really don't care. That is to say that attention to needless detail indicates attention to another detail better than carelessness in a needless detail does. With so many categories of products suffering from decades of concerted acceleration efforts toward our beloved late-stage capitalism, I'll praise any bit of craftsmanship that I can.

[@kendavis8046]

At ten minutes in, you mentioned that the handsome brainbox indicated that it was manufactured in India. There is a reason that we now use the term "pure Chinesium" to indicate the lowest common denominator in manufacturing.

[@jaywelker5566]

China is still above India in terms of high-end manufacturing though. India has tons of QC issues going that weren't on previously Chinese made items (ex: iPhones to handwrenches) I see the wrenches at my local hardware stores that used to be Chinese made and the stamping and forging misses are very rampant on the new India made stuff. Where the Chinese stuff certainly wasn't anything special, but the QC was so obviously honed in to an acceptable level over the past 10-15 years. Either way it's NBD as that particular hardware store brand (K-T tools) is an easy enough warranty process and whatever we already have is treated as a disposable tool you wouldn't mind breaking or losing anyways. iPhone QC issues in the India switchover are very well documented as well. If China was good enough to produce iPhones, iPads and anything Apple then it's pretty apparent that Dewalt, Makita and Milwaukee could wrangle up acceptable QC levels for power tools. And this is clearly the case if you look at lots of higher end power tools produced over the past 5-10 years. Even Hilti uses China to a large extent. So does Fluke. Says it all right there, really. India will surely get better in time, the same way China did. And obviously, obviously obviously India is preferable to do business with for many reasons, though they're still far from perfect and they'll probably just end up the new boogeyman to a bunch of the same sorts of dumdums anyways. (Indianesium, incoming). But one golden sample on one KZbin video does not suddenly condemn all the progress China's manufacturing has made over the past 40 years either. And the same goes for Taiwan or Vietnam, because there's still tons of idiots out there who think the world's leading semiconductor producer can't also figure out how to produce something as simple as a ratchet or sockets. Can round things off with Mexico too, lots of power tools and auto parts come out of Mexico now and the quality can be pretty great (ex: Wix oil filters). But you'd never get the "invade Mexico" crowd to ever admit how useful they are as a trade partner either. We'll just go make a further mess of things, probably end up with the cartels just acquiring even more guns from the North as well. Same people who cry about power tools and electronics going up so much in price, but they were the ones who supported all the 30% tariffs and idiotic NAFTA trade war bullshit.
