These aren’t meant to replace stationary tools, just portable ones.

I use mine on the jobsite daily.

I’m ready to replace my Dewalt 36 volt cordless tools I love to use daily with these newer 60 volt tools. I can't wait for them to be released this fall!

To power the miter saw you would need a 6000 watt generator: I learned this from personal experience trying to power one that's in our mobile shop. The power draw on start up will make anything smaller big down.

I’ve never had that issue with my Dewalt 14, 18, 20 or 36 volt batteries that I use.

The 18 and 20 volt trim saws Dewalt makes lasts longer then 20 minutes: you can use them all day with the occasional battery swap. The 60 volt saw isn't a trim saw, but a full sized circular saw just like the Dewalt 36 volt saw I use daily on the job. I can't temember the last time I pulled out my corded work drive…

As a contractor I try to use cordless most of the time. I've been using Dewalts 36 volt tools for almost 8 years and love them. I carry the corded version just in case, but use the cordless versions almost all the time. I've made belivers out of co-workers and a supervisor after they've used them.

My brother’s 18 volt Dewalt trim saw can do a lot more then what you say yours does. Maybe Porter Cable’s motor isn't well designed for cordless saws. My Dewalt 36 volt saw with the full size blade will go for a long time on the jobsite.

Did you take into account the brushless motors on the new tools in your calculations? Since specs on the motor for the new portable table saw hasn't been released yet I have a feeling you're comparing watermelons to oranges.

I’ll take my 36 volt cordless Dewalt tools on the construction jobsite any day over needing to pack a generator around. I don’t see anyone needing $1200 in batteries.

Dewalts already had cordless tools that can replace their corded counterparts. I have replaced my corded versions of several tools with cordless about 8 years ago with Dewalts 36 volt tools. I see the 60 volt ones being better than the great 36 volt ones I use daily on the job site.

A pair of these batteries are listed at $200 for preorder, not $300. I don't see needing as many batteries as you are speculating being needed. I have been using Dewalts 36 volt tools for almost 8 years and I have no problem with running out of juice in the batteries while working all day on a construction site. I…
