The 1.7Ah Power Stack batteries are really great. They deliver a lot of power and they're compact in every dimension. They even have the better charge indicator that stays on for a second or two after you press the button. They only suffer in capacity (runtime), which is not normally an issue in my shop. I stocked up with the deal where you get a free 20V tool with a 2x Power Stacks.
Love the 20V Dewalt tools. I have a pole saw and a hedge trimmer, both excellent yard maintenance tools. And I recently got a Dewalt tire inflator which is incredibly convenient - I don't have to mess with my heavy and super loud pancake compressor anymore to inflate tires.
I need to get me a tire inflator. I still drag out the air compressor and plug it in every time. I also have the hedge trimmer which I absolutely love along with the weed eater and a small blower. Man those tools are convenient.
I’m good thanks for asking. I’ve just been so busy with work and the kid that it has completely fallen off. I’m sorry! I will get back on the content very soon.
Even before watching the video, the 6AH battery blows away the 5AH. Everything is faster with more power. Bigger difference than most would initially think.
@@realworldtoolreviewsI think several of us have been worried about your well-being. Glad to hear you're just a busy bee. Family and work always come first ! 💯
Try out the 5Ah power stack against the 6XR. Most people get distracted by the digits used and compare the 5Ah PS to the 5Ah XR which...well, that is just not what the 5PS is meant to be. It is really designed to replace the all powerful 6, and it holds it's own very well against it. I just replaced all of my 5 and 6 XRs. I was either going to replace them all with 6XRs or 5PS's and in the end, after all of the research, I was damned near down to a coin flip. If one had been significantly cheaper than the other, that would have settled it. They were THAT close. But the price was very similar as well so I got no decision making help there. I went with the 5PS, bought 4 of them and gave myself 90 days to pay off the 600 bones I had to put on the credit card to do it. You should try one out against your 6 and see what you think.
The powerstack batteries give the power of a 5ah battery in a 2ah profile. The 5ah powerstack batteries give the same power as the 1.7ah powerstack batteries, just a longer runtime. They are meant for larger tools like saws and leaf blowers.
The power stack are awesome. I was worried they would not last long enough when I got them, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the runtime. They really take these compact tools to the next level.
Yea makita is kind weird that way. They came out with that 40v system which seems like it was sort of a dud. They should just invest more in the 18 volt. That’s still the best technology. They need to get on that stacked lithium
I call it 18v because that’s what it actually is. They say 20v MAX as a gimmick to make it sound more powerful. They are really 18v tools just like the other companies make. I think that whole 20v thing is dishonest. They are still my favorite tools though!
Glad you responded that all is good. Although we miss content, most folks just care. Take your time and we look forward to future content.
Do all the new batteries work across the board with all the older Dewalt tools?

Yea I’m gonna have to get me some more next time they are on sale. They really are sweet little batteries.

@@realworldtoolreviews Go for the Dewalt tire inflator - you'll love how easy it is to use compared to a conventional compressor.
Thank you Sir👍God Bless
We havent heard from you, in a few weeks.
You alright?
I’m good thanks for asking. I’ve just been so busy with work and the kid that it has completely fallen off. I’m sorry! I will get back on the content very soon.
Will the fatter ones work on dewalt drill that came with skinny ones,,mine are worn out and dont hold a charge
Didn't know about the new batteries. Thanks for your video.
Glad to help

Agreed. That 6 ah on the skilsaw especially makes a huge difference
Where are the new vids??
Work and the kid have been consuming my life on a new level lately. I’m getting some time off here soon and will get on top of the content. I’m sorry!

Haven’t seen a vid in awhile. Hope all is well in your world, and with the little one.

DeWalt makes great products ... Thx for posting ... How's your young'en doing
Thanks bud! He’s growing like a weed. Just turned two months old the other day. He couldn’t be better. Thanks for asking.
I'm a DeWalt guy. They are professional grade.
Yes sir! Can’t beat it. When it comes to my every day work horse power tools, they are the best to me.
I typically run the 2AH and the 3AH due to how compact they are. Going to have to give the powerstack batteries a go eventually.
I got three, they are worth it.

Ive read over and over the power stacks suck. So who is right?
You know who won't come out with new tech or even just bigger batteries? Makita 😢 I may be just a little sore about that fact
Yea makita is kind weird that way. They came out with that 40v system which seems like it was sort of a dud. They should just invest more in the 18 volt. That’s still the best technology. They need to get on that stacked lithium
You keep saying 18 vols!

@@realworldtoolreviews I guess that is 'Marketing"
Your tools look too clean to ever been used in a professional capacity.
