Cordless Tool Trivia – Page 8

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?

I can think of an answer for the bonus question Tool batteries are measured in volts and watts which are both metric.

Great answer.

Let’s move on.

@aessu you’re up, ask away.

aessuMember since Aug 2017Nov 12, 2017 2:42 AM CT

Which manufacturer has cordless tools that can be used as corded tools with the proper adapter?

Edit: By the manufacturer, not counting 3rd party adapters.

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Nov 12, 2017 5:32 AM CT

Festool DeWalt greenlee

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Nov 12, 2017 6:05 AM CT

Ryobi too…

aessuMember since Aug 2017Nov 12, 2017 6:37 AM CT

@kornomaniac youre up

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Nov 12, 2017 7:13 AM CT

Bit of harder one here i think…. Be free to look it up of course if needed 🙂

Makita Model numbers always exist of the type ( DHP481, DTD170, DTW281, etc.. ) + Some characters at the back which show you what batteries, charger, certain features, etc… are present in the tool.

Example: DHP481RTJ

Tool type DHP481
‘ R ‘ means Rapid charger
‘ T ‘ means 5 amp batteries
‘ J ‘ means MacPac case

Question:

Who can tell me what the following characters at the back of a Makita Model number would mean?

aessuMember since Aug 2017Nov 12, 2017 7:27 AM CT

S = DC18SA Charger

E is a blow molded case, dont know about the rest and dont want to look em up

bonus: P would mean dc18rd twin rapid charger.

That’s 3 correct 🙂

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Nov 13, 2017 2:52 PM CT

Noone has an idea or wants to take a guess ? 🙂

JronmanMember since May 2016Nov 14, 2017 12:35 PM CT

one for compact battery one for the new 6.0? Maybe the h means hybrid tool or high capacity battery(6.0)

Maybe u indicates subcompact tool.

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Nov 14, 2017 12:41 PM CT

Nope sorry. H is a rather old one. You’ll find this on more budget tools. U is a brand new one. Makita at stafda this year should give it away !

aessuMember since Aug 2017Nov 14, 2017 1:05 PM CT

Sorry for off-topic, but @kornomaniac can you tell whats the difference between E and K designations? I know C is for a metal case.

No K in Belgium I believe sorry :). E is a blow molded case. You have a link to a Makita tool with a K ?

Correct ! ‘ U’ stands for the AWS wireless Bluetooth function 🙂

The missing ‘H ‘ is 3 amp batteries

dwainMember since Aug 2013Nov 21, 2017 5:19 AM CT

OK we seem to have stalled. New question:

Which brand has the largest selection of 36V / 40V Max pieces, and how many?

I’m not counting dual/twin 18V tools, and I’m not talking about 4 variations of the same tool (e.g. SDS drill).

dmz2084Member since Dec 2014Nov 21, 2017 6:18 AM CT

Hitachi Multi volt 36v 6 tools

JronmanMember since May 2016Nov 21, 2017 10:07 AM CT

Metabo?

Craigh9916Member since Oct 2015Nov 21, 2017 3:50 PM CT

aessuMember since Aug 2017Nov 22, 2017 9:34 AM CT

Theres no circ saw that I know of thats been made as both 36V and 18V X2 versions, with the only difference between two being the batteries… You can of course prove me wrong.

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Nov 22, 2017 12:38 PM CT

No 36v circular saw indeed.

Rotary

The older brushed leaf blower

Top handle chainsaw

Brush cutter

Trimmer

Hedge trimmer

Lawn mower

No idea how you call this but the ‘ combi motorcycle which you can put a pole saw/pole trimmer on. 18+18v model is named DUX60

I think that’s all of em for makita

aessuMember since Aug 2017Nov 22, 2017 2:03 PM CT

Korno, youre up. I was thinking about the chainsaw, rotary hammer and one OPE.

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Nov 22, 2017 3:14 PM CT

Ok, so I guess Multimeters aren’t cool enough for the cordless tool trivia?

It was the Fluke T6-1000.

Jronman, you got it half right.

5oz is about 147.5 ml so roughly three 5oz cups
