i noticed a couple home depots clearancing out the flexvolt table and miter saws. i’d imagine those two are slow sellers. the boxes looked fairy dusted.

The DeWalt contract for the end cap is nearing its end. If FlexVolt is selling well at certain stores they will stay there. Other stores with slower sales will clear them out for better shelf space use.
i didnt see the miter saws in stock. table saw for 50 off (449) still didnt entice me.
Home Depot in the states seems to have everything on clearance on a regular basis lol. Here in Canada their clearances prices are barely lower than a sale price. So jealous.
I hate when you see a sale and its only a couple bucks off. Not sure on the Flexvolt. Like the system but havent ran into many people who are using it

Yeah flexvolt doesn’t sell to the Oldies. They hate change and won’t pull that credit card out untill their 1990 miter finally gives out and even then they will buy a Ryobi just to keep the job going.
I’m waiting for them to go on clearance down here in Texas. Would love to snag these for 1¢
I still buy it but so far my stuff is the only stuff I’ve seen in person outside a store or online. No one in my crew will buy Flexvolt. Maybe they will once the boss retires and they take over. I cant even sell brand new flexvolt stuff for cheap to them.
I can’t speak for the traditional cordless tools, however, I have heard that their miter saw and table saw have not sold that well… which slightly makes sense to me because those tools are not your typical tools that move all over… unlike a grinder, recip saw, drill, etc. I saw a live demo on the table saw and I thought it was pretty nice to be honest, plus the miter saw is pretty cutting edge in my opinion ( no pun intended?).
Dang. Was at other home depot and table saw is 399 and miter 599.
Really tempting
Table saw I get but the miter should be doing decent. Probably a lot of people already have the 780 and can’t justify the upgrade…(me).
The 780 last a long time..it is a great tool. Finish guys will hang on to it. We have 2 flex mitre at work ,we love em…but we are trying to be all cordless , because power is a tough find……I personally love my cordless Dewalt table saw, I’m waiting for the 10″ cordless mitre for myself….

I’m kinda impressed my work has something as new as a DW718 and a newer DeWALT table saw. I can wish the guys care more about tools but golf, hunting, and drinking are a thing.

The idea of those tools being cordless is nice but most of the time bigger tools are set up as a cut station with AC power anyways or a generation is being used in the first place. It’s cool but in reality its a narrow market I can see some of these tools being nice for re modelers because of space and access

I completely agree with you. If you are working off the back of your truck these are perfect… our particular job has the 12″ miter and table saw in one spot. However, we do have a cordless 7.5″ DEWALT miter that we can use floor to floor. Again, this all depends on what you do for a living, in my opinion.
