Just saw on another feed: DCS 570 and DCS 575 have a rafter hook added. Couldn’t get a good screen shot. Sorry gentlemen

Found it…hard to tell if it an add on or a slightly different clamshell…hopefully an add on We can buy![External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

I hope this comes out for my Flexvolt as an add on. I like having a hook, not necessary but pretty nice to have.

maybe a free service type deal if you send your saw to DeWALT to get this?

The top part of that handle does not look like the top of my flex circ saw

Dewalt screwing over early adopters…imagine that. The FlexVolt sidewinder is also getting updated.

I am a little ticked!! It seems they saw how many comments were made all over different forums and then changed the design. It is definitely a different clamshell to make room for the rafters hook. I really hope they offer early adopters the option to exchange.

I wonder if this will happen with the flex recip? Wouldn’t be too hard. Essentially same grip just different lock switch. I wouldn’t mind a dual speed flex recip using the lock switch as the speed control but its unlikely.

Ya that should have been an option in the beginning……that’s bullshit
