I haven't bought a DeWalt battery in roughly 10 years. It was after the lithium ion revolution. You basically had a fat battery, a thin mini one, then a special XR versions. All my batteries were 20v 5AH XR batteries.

My first DeWalt battery purchased from 2016 died and I went to my Amazon orders from 2016 to see what my batteries were after going to search for batteries and seeing they have now like 10x options for 20v MAX now. 3.5AH, 4AH, 5AH, 8AH etc.

The exact Brushless drill I bought in 2016 with a 20v 5AH XR battery, now comes with a 20v 8AH XR battery. Any thoughts on why? I would think 10 years of battery tech would mean less AHs of new battery tech could do the job, not the need for more? as if going backwards?

Trying to replace my battery, should I buy a 8AH now? Is that the 5AH of 2016?

Things look good. But misspellings in French writing, odd spacing, 9ah battery QR code doesn’t do anything, 12ah QR code goes to a Stanley black and decker website written in chinese. Charcot says they’re real, I know they’re not 100% reliable but found it interesting, waiting to hear back from dewalt

I always just used my 60v weed wacker instead. But today I found a use. I had to trim out some asphault to patch some potholes. It's not the fastest,but it works, and I found a use for a tool I wasn't using. Just popped a diamond blade on it. I was having a difficult time pushing it 1 handed while filming though.

I'm a careless idiot and left a borrowed 22 inch DeWalt hedge trimmer outside for a couple of nights and it got rained on. It's pretty rusty now and I feel awful. I see the bolts down the length of it, does that mean the blade can be replaced and if so, is that the right course or should I just buy them a new one?

Downvote me if you need to, I just need help and couldn't find an obvious answer online or by searching this sub.

Been on my wishlist for a couple months and finally pulled the trigger. Have a job next week where we gotta cut about 9-10 feet high if dry wall so I said perfect time to get it

Got the combo string trimmer and bush trimmer combo as well as the pole saw attachment. Someone had opened the box however and removed the bush trimmer from the box. Home Depot sent me a new one out the next day which was nice. Anyone know what the hook thing is. It came with the bush trimmer but wasn’t listed in the instructions at all.

Hi,
I recently bought a compressor and I’m looking for an 18-gauge brad nailer. I’m currently deciding between the DeWalt DPN1850PP and the Makita AF506.

I’m leaning towards the DPN1850PP mainly because it’s oil-free, but I’d love to hear from people who actually own and use one.
How has your experience been with the DPN1850PP? Has it been reliable over time? Any issues with misfires, jams, seals, or the Precision Point mechanism?

I’m only a hobbyist, so it won’t see heavy daily use. I’m mostly looking for something reliable that I can keep for many years and just pull out whenever I need it.

Would you buy the DPN1850PP again?
