how does this compare to the corded version DEWALT DWE315K in weight and power? looks to be same size except for the battery attached.

I've had the DWS355 for over and year and added the corded Porter Cable PCE605K about 4 months ago. The PC shares the same 3.0 amp motor as the DWE315 and it isn't that much stronger than this beast. I prefer the grip of either Dewalt over the PC (it feels like your holding a beer can). The only negative the Dewalt has IMO is it's extremely loud. Louder than the Porter or my old HF tool.

Well, since I don't own both, not many people do, you should look at specs for both by weight.I can tell you the battery one has LOTS of power.I was hesitant about battery, since I do lots of sanding and never met a battery powered tool I liked.But, my wife, my grown kids, and several professionals talked me into the battery one, just like all the pros use.I am very glad, I can sand for several hours on one charge, which is enough for me for one day.The battery does one thing that is very important, it makes the tools instantly available for doing little spot jobs, you probably wouldn't bother with otherwise.I am constantly touching up around the house now with it.Go with the battery version, IMHO.

I have to wonder if the corded is less of an obstacle to cutting than is the battery one, as that battery juts out & looks like it would impede positioning the tool. Perhaps the body should be hinged at some point.

I haven't used the corded version. But the 20V is excellent!! So far love it..

My brother has the corded and I don't notice any real difference other than a cord on his. Both are excellent just comes down to portability and access to power.

I have no idea. We purchased the saw with the smaller battery and later purchased the bigger battery. Both work greaat. We use the smaller battery for small jobs and the big battery for the larger jobs. The bigger battery has a longer time between charges so it allows us to get more done.

I think the only difference is that the DC9099 is thinner profile battery then the DW9099. It should have the same hook up for your DeWalt Tool and work for you.

Certainly feel like I own the best set of cordless tools on the market, I would say both, more torque, and more life. Hope this helps Curtis M

Yes and no. The Dremel is a more versatile tool than the Dewalt cordless router. While the Dewalt is more of a heavy duty tool.

I like my Worx but I have a small yard to mow. I've never tried to stand it on end. I haven't heard too many good things about Black & Decker especially the batteries. That was one of the reasons I went with the Worx as it charges quickly and is easy to handle. If you don't like it you can always return it.

Am in bed at the moment so have no stats for you BUT note this is corded & guide powerful. I have Belgians & found it to be almost too much, very fast & noisy too. A bit unnerving. Got a cordless I think it is 7.5v & that is far better.

We bought the corded model first, then decided we would enjoy the cordless more. They both weigh about the same, but we're away from home so I can't weigh it now.

The two I purchased were the same size, weight. However, I did have a minor problem with one in that it wouldn't stay locked on the drill...simple solution: duct taped it to the drill base. Started doing that to all batteries so they won't fall out.

IMO, this is the only cordless set that provides the power of corded tools. You are trading the convenience of losing the cords with the inconvenience of added weight. The right tool for the right job is always the way to go. I tend to reach for my cordless tools (I own extensive 18 and 36v tools) than my corded ones for most tasks.

i have this drill was given to me as a gift, I used it to drill hundreds of self drilling metal screws, within a months time, it has the perfect RPM for that job IMO, and the battery lasted longer than any cordless I've owned prior.. able to work the better half of a day without needing recharged. I would not call this heavy duty, but I see no problems with it holding up to my unreasonable abuse. I am still using this drill regularly, and only stopped by here because a refurbished one is cheaper than the price of a battery.

With small-medium hands, it is perfect as far as size and grip. I've seen a more compact Dewalt model but it doesn't compare to durability and power. I purchased mine 3+ years ago and used it on numerous projects along with everyday use and have had no problems. Most importantly, batteries still keep great charge unlike many other Dewalt/Ryobi tools. My only other consideration to this product is the Bosche products.

unfortunately, no.personally, i own all 36volt dewalt cordless equipment, and they have held up at a commercial grade level. on the other hand, the reviews are not so good for the new 36volt lit-on batteries. but, i am a user of this product and it has not failed me yet!ac in da house

It does seem to run slower than a corded model, but it seems to run about the same as my previous cordless model. Have not had any other brand so have no knowledge with them. Hope this helps.

Both kits include the DCF886 1/4" impact, but the DCK281D2 includes the DCD790 1/2" drill/driver, and the DCK286D2 includes the DCD795 1/2 hammer drill. The latter is especially good for masonry drilling. Both sets are of the "compact" variety, but the DCD790 is a bit shorter which you could find useful in tight spots. DeWalt also sell heavier duty models which are heavier (heh, heh) and have bigger batteries for longer lasting charges. For the typical weekend warier the compact models are probably perfectly adequate. Beware DeWalt also still sells models which are NOT brushless. They're cheaper, but I'd definitely go for the brushless models.

I've used both. This "huge unattractive setup" is more powerful to begin with, as is the case of almost any 110 volt tool or appliance over a battery driven item. However, the force of the water can be easily adjusted from light to quite forceful as one desires from use to use. I also have found the water seal of the battery compartment on the cordless model to fail too soon. Generally, I have found the corded model to be more durably built than the cordless. Within my experience, the corded, 110 volt unit, will outlast the cordless model about four or five to one, which, to me, is more important than appearance.
