    Most people gripe about the chuck on that one. Lucky me, never had any switch go kaput - amazed you can buy them!

    yeah now that ive seen the switch, makes me cringe having to change speeds. As an engineer i see it as having to cram something in last minute, but who knows. Lots of things are done design wise for weird reasons.

    Whats up with the chuck?

    I think people get excited that it's steel, and beat it a bit much hammering concrete and it seems to not be grippy anymore.

    I have the old DCD980 and DCD995, both working just fine. I also have a DCD740 (right angle) but I hardly use it.

    Whats your favorite cordless 20v tool thats not a drill, impact driver or reciprocating saw. Looking to give the wife some ideas for Christmas.

    i am thinking the following so far, it would prob just be one of these, or im open to other ideas if theres a tool you cant live without. Impact wrench, circular saw, orbital sander, multitool.

    I have 5 circular saws. (4 1/2" 20VMax (nice), 5 3/8" Milwaukee 12V (nice), 6 1/2" 20VMax, 7 1/2" corded and 20VMax)

    I use the 6 1/2" the most.
    $106 DEWALT 20V MAX* Circular Saw, 6-1/2", Cordless, Tool Only (DCS565B)
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KYM6GW6?ie=UTF8

    Just nice heft and ease of use.

    Of course for 6X6 or even 4x4, you will want the 7 1/4" - sometimes I wish I had a BIG 'EN but can't quite justify it.

    Multi-tool. Its really nice to pull that out to make single rough cuts of anything, wood, metal, drywall, etc. Or for quick touch up sanding.

    Best tool I ever bought besides those mentioned is a DeWalt cordless hedge trimmer. The thing is a beast. 5a battery has yet to go dead no matter how much I use it, which is a lot.

    When I need that thing it's great!!

    It has even saved my bacon by cutting carefully through screws and nails with no other way out.

    I used used it to cut into and match an existing oak floor. Took oak out of baffroom, put tile in. Needed to cut 3/4" oak planking at doorway nice and clean. Worked perfectly.

    I have used it to remove grout - This is kind of oddly rewarding if you ever had to dig grout out, yikes by hand!! Just get some junk blades (save old blades/Amazon/ebay) - it just wears the teeth of the blades but the old hard shit grout is gone, tile untouched, clean up, dry for days, then regrout. Wife love you a real long time after that!
