Replacing housing on Dewalt DCS578 Flex Volt 7 1/4" circular saw

[@robinmarks1710]

I like these repair/maintenance videos, even though I'll probably never rebuild a saw.

Thank you, they're fun to do. Definitely do more in the future

Good save... Skeet, you should have given us the difference between salvaging this one and purchasing a new one.

what up, brother!!!???? always gotta check out the DeWalt stuff (and of course, the ALMIGHTY stove vids), but I have that same system utilizing many tools (XR batteries; 3, 5, 20, and 60V), and bought 4 of those GIANT batteries at $375/per..... ("at a min" for price of 4, as well as the fans, they all seem to have a nice notch in the item/"device", tool to allow room for larger batteries, especially for the 20v items/tools, etc), or they would have been $500 (the giant ones). I also have the chop saw, and the giant batteries work well. Sometimes, when charging, those "brackets"/slots, metal pieces" can be bent, causing a malfunction in charging. Fixing requires, IF LUCKY, a flathead screwdriver and bending it back. I will say, I have not had any issues other than charging, and using the cheaper chargers doesn't always last long (the charger itself), especially if used often/daily. Another con is, using the "multi-fast charge", charger, (has x4 charging slots), it depletes the MaH time [assuming because it's "fast charging" as to a single charger, which I've ran out several, a key sign it's running out......battery will NOT keep a charge for long, despite saying/indicating (by the 3 lights) it's "full"]. One other "issue" I've had is ordering from Amazon, and they sent me a Makita charger, TWICE, despite being a DeWalt charger I selected(bad link I assume, or...internal issue???), it "would" ..."possibly" have charged the DeWalt, which I find in the "industry".....suspect, but that's just my 2c. Thanks for the video, sometimes a Dremel and grind material out may help a small bit, just for space reasons. (hey, one of my buddies used to customize his guitar and would grind out all kinds of areas for pick-ups, etc.....using DeWalt....;-) ).

BTW, DeWalt stuff is so easy to work on, like the extended pruner. And again, the XR system has almost endless possibilities. Even OEM stuff, such as some flashlights, or, a hot melt glue gun, just 2 examples of what can be done with this battery system, not counting all of the many tools.
