Cordless Tool Trivia – Page 6

dwain · 2017-08-08T01:57:31+00:00

Hey folks, Just a bit of fun. The person who first answers the question correctly gets to ask the next question. Obviously it doesn't work if people google the answers. Questions could be about which brand has a certain tool, what the spec of a given tool is, when it was released etc etc. Please bold and underline the formal questions so they stand out from the guesses and OT discussion. Please restrict your questions to battery tools, and to brands that are available around most of the world to regular people, so that non-US people like myself can get it on the fun. Bosch, Dewalt, Festool, Makita, Metabo, Milwaukee, Hilti, Hitachi, Panasonic etc. Also, please be accomodating of model number differences etc. First question: Which brand of 18V hammer drill claims the highest maximum torque, and what value?

Ryobi had the NiCad circular saw right, their lithium batteries are reverse compatible so that’s my guess.

Dyson?

Makita ?

It was a trick question!

Dyson was correct!

The first hepa tool vac was an attachment to a rotary hammer drill from Makita in 2010!

@HiltiWpg Was I correct? Dyson does make cordless vacs and a vac is a tool. not sure how long ago the first one came out.

@HiltiWpg I didn’t realize they were out in 2009.

What 2 DeWALT 40v max products were unveiled at GIE+ Expo 2016?

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Oct 4, 2017 3:54 PM CT

Lawn mower and a pole hedge trimmer ?

close but not quite.

JronmanMember since May 2016Oct 9, 2017 12:14 AM CT

any other guesses?

StercorariusMember since Dec 2015Oct 9, 2017 12:55 AM CT

Not my trade so best guess without cheating is the trimmer on a stick and the regular one.

JronmanMember since May 2016Oct 9, 2017 12:54 PM CT

nope

I will say the pole hedge trimmer is correct.

JronmanMember since May 2016Oct 11, 2017 11:45 AM CT

answer was pole hedge trimmer and 6 bay charger.

What is the load capacity of the Packout wall rack?

Upwards of 2000 usd

JronmanMember since May 2016Oct 22, 2017 4:06 PM CT

was a trick question. Milwaukee doesnt have a packout wall rack out or announced yet.

Would someone like to go?

dwainMember since Aug 2013Oct 22, 2017 8:55 PM CT

Sure. I don’t know the answer to this question, but I’ll look it up.

Which platform (brand and voltage) has the largest selection of saws, and how many? By this i mean circs, jigs, recip, band, chain etc …

Please note that I am asking about unique saws. So a different handled/form saw is OK, but multiples of the same sort of saw in brushed, 2nd gen and BL etc don’t count.

Example: The M18 line would have two recip saws only (hackzall type and sawzall type).

Example 2: Bosch’s 18V barrel-grip jigsaw and d-handle grip jigsaw count as 2.

Example 3: Different size blades count as multiples.

D WMember since Jun 2016Oct 22, 2017 9:54 PM CT

Makita 18V. I’m not sure I can name all of them but here goes:

– Full sized recip

– One hand recip (brushed) with dual trigger

– Subcompact recip

– Circular saw 6.5inch

– Rear handle circular saw

– Metal cutting saw

– Band saw???do they have one

– Barrell grip jigsaw

– D handle jigsaw

EDIT: Total of 9 saws in 18V

dwainMember since Aug 2013Oct 22, 2017 10:54 PM CT

Can anyone beat 9?

StercorariusMember since Dec 2015Oct 22, 2017 11:33 PM CT

DeWalt has at least the

Flexvolt platform:

12″ sliding miter

12″ non sliding miter

Table saw

Track saw

Chain saw

Rear handle circ

7 1/4″ sidewinder circ

Recip saw

So that’s only 8 if you count that as a separate platform.

20v Max:

Chainsaw

7 1/4″ circular saw

Compact recip

Full size recip

6 1/2″ circular saw

Metal 5 1/2″ circular saw

Deep cut portaband

Standard portaband

Jig saw

7 1/4″ miter saw

11 if you count that separate

dwainMember since Aug 2013Oct 22, 2017 11:44 PM CT

New top is 11, but I don’t think Dewalt has the most 😉

jtkendallMember since Dec 2016Oct 23, 2017 12:00 AM CT

Milwaukee M18 has 10 by my count, the two bandsaws have different cut capacities so they both count. 3 circ sizes (5-3/8, 6-1/2, 7-1/4), 2 miters (7-1/4, 10), hackzall, Sawzall, and jigsaw.

I thought they had more but was thinking of the corded metal cutting circ which I think is 6-1/2.

Cut out saw ( Gyproc )DSD180

Multitool DTM ( does it count as a saw ? )

Sliding Mitre saw DLS110

Chop saw DLS600

One Handed chainsaw

Full size chainsaw

CXT glass/tilesaw

Plunge saw DSP

That’s 17 if the Multitool counts

StercorariusMember since Dec 2015Oct 23, 2017 12:14 AM CT

I think Makita may have a few more. Not familiar enough with the brands outside of red and yellow to say. Bosch doesn’t have many, there are only so many formats. Maybe festool?

I don’t count the multi-tool (or the drywall cutter personally, but meh whatever).

I believe the tilesaw only comes in 12V. So by might count you’re up to 14.

My answer was Makita with 17 (add their 18×2 7-1/4″ circ saw, their 2nd bandsaw and their 2nd metal cutting saw).

You’re up Korno.

aessuMember since Aug 2017Oct 23, 2017 8:13 AM CT

Makita actually has 2 totally different kinds of full sized chainsaws. Granted one is brushed and another is brushless, but the bodies are completely different.

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Oct 23, 2017 12:39 PM CT

Abit of guessing here but it’s a festool spoiler for you guys for the near future:

What technology will be featured in upcoming Festool batteries ( should be Jan/Feb 2018 for EU ).

Bonus points if you can point out what the technology will be used for!

JronmanMember since May 2016Oct 23, 2017 4:40 PM CT

Industry is going smart or high demand so maybe either bluetooth or 21700 cells. I have a feeling that is not it. Ima guess the batteries have something to do with activating vacs.

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Oct 23, 2017 4:52 PM CT

Spot on actually. Bluetooth batteries for vacs 🙂

You are up !

JronmanMember since May 2016Oct 23, 2017 11:31 PM CT

wow wasn’t expecting to get it right.

What brands offer a drill with easily removable chucks?

One brand in particular comes with multiple chucks in the kit to easily swap out depending on the task at hand.

D WMember since Jun 2016Oct 23, 2017 11:44 PM CT

Definitely Metabo and Bosch, not so sure about Festool but I will include them in the answer.

As far as I know, it’s Bosch (12V and 18V), Milwaukee M12, Festool, Metabo and Fein.

Bosch, Milwaukee and Festool have a few different types of chucks (right-angle, offset, 1/4″ bit holder etc)

Metabo have a quick change chuck, but the only compatible ‘chucks’ are the little 1/4″ ‘bit holder it comes with, and the huge torque multiplier, so I assume you don’t mean that.

FEIN also have a removable chuck with a little 1/4″ hex bit holder. Come to think of it, maybe they have other chucks, but I don’t remember seeing any.

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Oct 23, 2017 11:56 PM CT

What dwain said. But then add mafell ( rebranded metabo tho )

Metabo also has several angle adapters.

Aeg has 12V and 18V drills with quick change chucks including right angle and offset (in Europe at least).

BMack37Member since Sep 2015Oct 24, 2017 9:11 AM CT

We need Milwaukee to bring their system to the states…I’m soo close to buying the Bosch.
