My Skil 10" table saw was $69 Black Friday sale 15 years or so ago, I've used it like crazy and it's still going strong. I really feel like larger cordless tools like a table saw should be dual power so you can still plug it into a regular 120v outlet. I have a snowblower with a 120v starter and a pull start on it, that was a good idea so you don't need a battery for something you may only use a few times per year or some years not at all.............Everybody has to choose what's right for them and sometimes we still make the wrong choices.
New forge are designed to solve most of these issues. These are known issues with the 12ah batts and Milwaukee batteries in general. Forge should (hopefully) not fail and you can cycle between 2 with the new supercharger. Other note is Milwaukee has great warranty you don't even need a receipt to have it replaced
Another note is if you stick to one one battery system you only need a few batteries to cover all of your tools, mower etc, camping and home power gear etc. You shouldn't be paying that much for a 12ah they go way cheaper on FB marketplace or there are great hacks on right now at home depot.
@@daddysharespace I have removed all my DeWalt, Ridgid, Makita etc and only have Milwaukee and Festool at this point. Anything outside of that is corded where brand doesn't matter. Curious what you've found that doesn't fit in those lines? I have not had a Milwaukee tool yet that didn't do the job I needed.
Using two platforms can can offer a lot of coverage. If you needed a drywall sander you could get a Planex. On the other hand if you were only in Milwaukee you would be out of luck. Makita and Dewalt both offer drywall solutions that Milwaukee does not. That is what I meant. There are several tools like that. Also I purchased my Dewalt Flexvolt miter saw very close to the same time I purchased my Milwaukee 12 inch miter saw. The Milwaukee electric brake is going bad while the Dewalt is still going strong.
@@daddysharespace I said I was in both Festool and Milwaukee already which covers me so in that exact example I'd get a planex. Although for corded tools again it doesn't matter which brand as you're not going outside of the battery line. If I really wanted say a 20v DeWalt drywall sander that Milwaukee or Festool didn't have in that case I would use a battery adapter and still stick to my Milwaukee batteries. Battery adapters are cheap and anything that is 18v (20v max) works extremely well. Cheers.

Very true, We live and we learn.

I have heard about the forge batteries. I plan to give them a try. Hopefully, they improve durability but we will have to see.

Sticking with one platform is wise however you have to forgo some unique tools. Also you may have to settle for an inferior model of the same tool.

I saw those battery adapters but I have never tried one.
Hey man, have you had your swing at building dome hardwood furniture like a table?
I am working my way up to it.
Drill for sure
I totally agree.
Think is you can’t function without batteries
