New framing nailer announcement?

New framing nailer announcement?

Anyone else suspect that’s what this is about? I’m hoping for new cordless miter saws too.

Wasn’t planning on buying a battery today but…

I also noticed a bunch of deal stickers and price knockdowns on other Metabo HPT stuff, anyone got an idea? Just a reshuffle to clear old stock? Potential Flex situation?

Why is it impossible to buy parts?

I have a C10FCG2 miter saw, less than a year old, that needs a couple of small replacement parts. I’ve identified the parts and have the part numbers. But I cannot buy them.

I looked online, but ereplacementparts doesn’t have parts for that model. I reached out to Metabo HPT and they said to go to ereplacementparts, go through a retailer like Ace, or if I had an account I could order myself. I don’t have an account to my knowledge, but was not then offered the option to make one. I asked at Ace and they had no idea what I was talking about.

METABO. YOU HAVE PARTS. I HAVE MONEY. SURELY WE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN‽

New battery and battery casing

Looks like we're losing the rubber overmold. And on top of the new multivolt 10Ah tabless, there seems to be a new 18v 5Ah tabless that's not multivolt (installed to the gun). Part no. bsl1850mt, so 18v only.

Sweet talked my local Lowe’s into $175

Was collecting dust on clearance for $299. I asked if they had flexibility and they immediately said $175 to my surprise — I was expecting $250.

i know there are some mixed reviews on this guy, but I feel like any 10” jobsite table saw for 175 is pretty good, right?

Amazing Deal!

I know it’s not Metabo HPT, but I’d thought I’d share this wild deal with all the fine gentleman and women here. If you are a Metabo HPT fan you’re obviously an intelligent and discerning individual.

This is an insane deal for this grinder (retails over $500 elsewhere.) includes 8ah battery, charger, and bag.

Starmix 1625 L vs Metabo ASR 25 M SC

Hello. I want to buy a new shop vac for general garage cleaning and hobby use with power tools like a track saw, sander, etc. I will use it mainly with my cyclone filter - Dust Commander - attached to a metal barrel.

I'm looking for a vac:

  • rated as M class, since I have mild asthma
  • with a power tool socket (automatic turn-on for convenience)
  • not too big, since my space is limited and most debris will already be caught by the cyclone filter
  • with the possibility to attach a systainer box on top of it — I love this idea, seems neat

Currently, I own a Kärcher WD-5, which is nice, but misses all of the points above, besides its size, which is ok.

I've searched the internet and it seems Starmix fits my requirements well. It's also sold under different brands like Metabo. I've narrowed down my local offers to these two models: Starmix ISC 1625 L and Metabo ASR 25 M SC.

As far as I can tell:

  • The Metabo is a rebrand of a previous Starmix model — the 1425 M.
  • Starmix is rated L class, but they have the same filters. Do thety effectively provide the same level of protection?
  • Metabo has a preset flow-rate knob, while Starmix has a stepless one. Which one is better?
  • Starmix has a light signaling low airflow, while Metabo has light + buzzer. Is the buzzer more convenient or more annoying?
  • The Starmix is a bit more powerful (by 200 W), which doesn't seem like a lot to me. Or is it?
  • Metabo is a bit more expensive, but comes with an antistatic hose. Price-wise this seems to make them equal. The Starmix 1625 M is notecably more expensive.

Please advice.

6 1/2 trim saw/import?

Hikoki really needs to come out with an updated 6 1/2 blade left trim saw. I know they have an older hitachi model but we could really use a nice updated brushless one. Been debating on pulling the plug on one of their smaller blade right trim saws from japan. I just hate ordering things i cant physically put my hands on first. Especially when it comes to circular saws because im big on using the window as opposed to looking over the saw. Anyone with the 36v blade right 6 1/2in (165mm) hikoki trim saws have any input? Do they have a decent veiwing window? Would much rather them just come out with a new blade left saw but will settle for an import if i could get q picture of the left side of the saw through the guard/view port.

Should I import?

Somebody help talk me in (or out) of it. I have been looking for a 6.5inch right blade HPT circular saw, C18DBALQ4M is out of stock everywhere and I'm afraid it's probably discontinued. My options are to wait the rest of my life for a 6.5inch model to appear, or I can import HiKOKI C3606DB on Amazon JP for ~175 + 52 shipping + 66 for import fees totaling some 295. I live in irrational fear that I'll get unlucky and have to deal with exchange process for an import despite knowing the platform is reputable. I want everything that model has to offer, should I do it?

Not worth it

Well guys my brand new 20 day old impact quit on me the other day and then my saw that I bought the same day broke today. 20 days is crazy. I’m a framer and not particularly hard on stuff. Put a couple timberlocks and sds screws in with the impact. Didn’t drop it or anything. Today I was cutting 2x4 and the blade stopped moving while to motor kept going. Now the motor turns but blade does nothing.
My dewalt stuff lasted years. Guess I had to buy it to see its junk. Back to dewalt I go.

Replacement part name

What do I need to search in order to buy a replacement piece like this? Other side fell out and vanished

It’s the pin in the middle of the arm that swings the support piece down next to the fence. For when making wider rips.

I’m not sure how good metabos routers are but have been eyeing up making a purchase. This is the plunge router which I guess can be used either way like a standard or a plunge. $279 plus a free battery and charger

Is this a must buy deal?
