DeWalt vs. Milwaukee: PEX Expander Showdown | DCE400 vs 2532 & 2432

[@jakearmstrong4563]

Kobalt just released a new one by the way! Brushless. I bought it in store. It was not easy to find online. Only way I found was to use the Lowe’s app, filter only Kobalt products, then find the Kobalt Pex Expander. I drove 74 miles to get it. $330 for battery, tool, box and 1/2 to 3/4 heads. Beside that was the 1” DeWalt head, marked down to $10. Absolutely crazy!

I was just at Lowe’s and picked up the dce400d1 on clearance. It was really dusty and must have been hidden somewhere in the back. Clearance price said $314 but was actually marked drown at the register to $147. Unfortunately no 1”head but I’m ordering one right now.

Nice!

Me too I'm invested in Milwaukee but I couldn't help it for 150 bucks mine was dusty as could be too.

[@williamjones3603]

@@tylerhensley5633 I’m also heavily invested in Milwaukee. They make good quality lights and I love the packout vacuum. My supper holehog is a beast.

I had both and thought that Milwaukee was the “Nicer” tool, but I had to change the batteries like crazy since I was reliving a whole floor. The DEWALT went on forever, but so did its light… has like a 20 min shutoff on mine which sucks cause I don’t need the light at all lol, but still wouldn’t trade it for anything until the new model comes out😂

[@toolrev]

yeah, you can always cover it with tape or whatever

[@Kubey.]

@@toolrev Still, it takes some juice from battery no?

[@toolrev]

@@Kubey. true and who knows, tape might melt into a sticky mess

[@red7fifty]

Put a piece of tape over the light to cut down the brightness.
