CXS

[Beeblebronx]

I prefer to have a light and managleble unit for daly work.

And a heavy powerfull 18v unit for demanding job.

2,5Ah battery will give you a heavy suboptimized unit, without real power but with added weight.

Well, things are subjective of course and I am not saying you are wrong. We have a different take on it, that's all.

I didn't buy the larger battery for power - but for extended run time. My experience so far is that is a lot more run time compared to the small battery. If you are not living too far from me I could give you my spare 1,5Ah battery for free - I don't use it. I have four 2,6Ah batteries for my two machines.

I would not call the CXS with the 2,6Ah a heavy machine - it is still very very light. I don't think the smaller battery makes it much more compact either - even with the 2,6Ah the battery clip protrudes so there is zero girth gain unless you remove the clip. I prefer to use the clip and have it in place. Also, in the kit bag the smaller battery takes up more space with the "stick" so it is easier for me to fit the "larger" battery in the kit bag.

Jaja, different strokes for different folks...

I totaly agree, we have different prefable tools and so on, the main thing is that we enjoy our tools.

Thank you for the partnership in discussion.

By the way, I love pingvinlakrits.

Best regards Andreas

Don't worry, I want a C15 because of the eccentric chuck and heavier duty stuff where there's no AC... When I do cabinets and what not we pre-drill so almost every screw acts as a clamp; it's rare there's any need for serious power and the results are better. Although if I was decking T15 would be easier to hold... Yea I knew I caught a disease when I realized that I bough one tool instead of three from another company. I looked at a Milwaukee 12v for a driver, drill, and 90*. Nah you want the c18 c15 is getting fazed out

Still utterly loving mine. I think I'm faster at swapping end pieces than grabbing another drill now. The overall drill speed could be higher though.

In some ways it feels like mine broke-in and works better now. But I did have the clutch act weird once. The 90* could be slightly more solid, perhaps.

I put a bunch of a large display case together. It's really nice when you're standing on a ladder with feet around 5' off the ground, to have a little easy to handle drill and a handful of bits and screws, instead of two huge drills so you nearly/do have to move the ladder to even reach around to the next spots.

I've discovered that while I haven't adapted any quick bits to centrotec, 90% of the time I just plop a vix bit or countersink directly into the Centrotec bit holder (short/long) or just drill itself and forgo the Jacobs. The only reason I never need the Jacobs is drill bits. With countersinking I just put it in reverse if it won't come up easily while spinning forward. All I'm doing is swapping bits, not system pieces.
