Kzoo Posted July 11, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 11, 2018 Is this a statement or a question? I have some Dewalt 18v tools. I was just thinking Saturday that a 20 v drill would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted July 11, 2018 Statement. BTW, they make an adapter so you can run a 18v tool with a 20v battery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted July 11, 2018 Share #6 Posted July 11, 2018 I'm already locked into 20volt Black and Decker tools. They are however mostly yard tools such as a string trimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8hed Posted July 11, 2018 Share #9 Posted July 11, 2018 Nice. I need to upgrade. My Ryobi is loosing power. It's an 18v. I would like to get an impact driver in 20v and a drill. I can keep my ryobi in the camper to run up and down the stabilizer jacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted July 11, 2018 Share #10 Posted July 11, 2018 It would cost me a small fortune to buy that. I'm running Porter Cable 20V anyways, got the stupid light, drill, impact driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, jig saw, brad nailer, crown stapler. Only thing I think I don't have is the oscillating multi tool, but I've got a Milwaukee red one of those that I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted July 11, 2018 Share #12 Posted July 11, 2018 We got the 20volt drill at work a while ago. I'm impressed with how much better it is than the 18 volt one it replaced. We got a Dewalt grinder pushed as 60 volt max. I had some doubts and bought a corded grinder at the same time, thinking that the battery one would be handy for small jobs, but not willing to give up the corded one for 'real' work.....The corded one hasn't been out of the box yet... PS I used the drill to tap some 1/2 x 13 holes the other day. Had to grind flats on the tap before the chuck would hold, once that was done it powered through, even at a slow controlled speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share #14 Posted July 12, 2018 Well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I bought a recip saw, did not previous have one & could occasionally borrow one from work. Bought a circular saw as my old one had died & it looks like Wo2 is lining up some As-Seen-On-HGTV projects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that Dewalt reciprocating saw for my 18v batteries. It eats through them in minutes. It's a great tool. Great when you don't want to deal with a corded recip saw (which I also have) and really great in the yard with the pruning blade. My problem is that it goes through batteries like it's cutting theough butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of this year I have one of those but today I purchased a mini chain saw on a pole so that I can trim branches about 10feet off the ground. I just wasn't comfortable climbing up a ladder with a chain saw. (not that I'm ever comfortable climbing up a ladder.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's electric and battery operated and after tax et al under $80 on Amazon. I guess I'm going to need another couple of Black and Decker 20 volt batteries.
