Dewalt Tools & Accessories
Also, there’s no way this thing is anywhere close to 5 horsepower. The maximum power a North American standard wall outlet can provide is 15 amps at 120 volts, which equates to 1800 watts. In practice you won’t even find that much since motors are not 100% efficient–to dewalt tools get 1 HP’s worth of work output it takes more than 1 HP worth of electricity input. Anytime someone claims a plug-in appliance has more than about 1-1.5 HP it’s some kind of misleading marketing nonsense, since any higher is physically impossible.
Those 20-volt lithium-ion battery cartridges you stick into your drill, circular saw and weed whacker are all pretty much the same thing. Like the sidewinders, the FlexVolt vs Milwaukee rear handle saw dilemma suffers from the similarity of these tools. Both saws eject dust very well without a vacuum attached, and the DeWalt might fill up your tool belt if you’re not careful! Once Milwaukee started down the path to lithium-ion power tools, however—starting heavily in 2008—things began to change. Big Red exploded into the market with M18 Lithium-ion batteries—followed soon after by their M12 line.
Milwaukee Tool has over 200 tools in its M18 line alone, with another 100 or more under the M12 line. That doesn’t include their newest MX FUEL line of cordless power equipment or their well-regarded corded power tools. As recent as 2005, the company kicked off a revolution of lithium-ion batteries—even holding several key patents in that arena. Following that, it did a lot to pioneer Bluetooth tool technology with Milwaukee One-Key. The company has most recently moved into the realm of cordless power equipment with its MX FUEL line of battery-powered tools.

The original company was started in 1923 by Raymond E. DeWalt, the inventor of the radial arm saw.
When you realize the volume of very trade-specific tools, the pricing skews upward a bit. DeWalt may provide just a bit more options for tools falling into those lower price points. That’s not to say that both companies don’t make high-end tools, nor does it imply that you can’t find entry-level tools for budget-minded users. Overall, we don’t see enough of a difference here as to really draw a major distinction. Clearly, both brands have a large commitment to making tools for professional contractors, tradesmen, and serious DIYers.

With the included remote I could realistically put this up almost to the ceiling and put the wall-mount dust deputy underneath of it. I do find it odd, hearing that any kind of light, laser, or stationary unmanned tool doesn’t come with some sort of remote operation method. That kind of oversight would be one of my first design thoughts, if I were to design the electronics… Bluetooth remote operation, or some sort of universal light/laser/on-off RF remote for these kinds of tools. If you can get a remote shutter button for your phone, it shouldn’t be a terribly difficult, or expensive, thing to add to the operation. Looks like a nice tool, though there’s obviously some funny business going on with the specifications.

On the other side, DeWalt makes the DCF897 3/4″ impact wrench. No matter how you slice it, Milwaukee provides more and better options for maximum impact wrench power. In the end, however, if you consider the flagship models, this one seems like much less of a contest than the cordless hammer drills. DeWalt boasts more than 200 products in its 20V Max line before adding in their new FlexVolt line of tools or their corded products.
