Can someone explain a little bit in detail if I should move away from my 4-5ah Dewalt and switch to power stack? I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble. Of course the added benefit is a lighter battery but is it worth it?
The Powerstack excels in two areas:
1) Capacity per unit of weight.
2) Ability to give up power faster.

So:
1) The Powerstack has about half of the capacity of the standard 5AH battery. It weighs less than half of a 5AH battery. If you're looking to shave a few ounces off a tool you're holding all day long, this is a good choice.
2) The Powerstack gives up power faster than a standard 2 or 3 AH battery, meaning it will provide more torque to impact drivers, etc. It is on-par with the 5AH battery pack.

Personally, I have a bunch of 2/3/4AH battery packs, and I just swap them out more frequently for most tools. If you have a Flexvolt Advantage or Power Detect tool, then sticking a Flexvolt or just a larger (respectively) battery will make sense if the task you're doing requires extra power. For example, I stuck a 6AH Flexvolt battery on my DCF887 Impact Driver when working on my deck. The 887 is not marketed as either FA or PD, and yet the driving difference was clearly noticeable. But the 6AH Flexvolt battery is huge and heavy. A similar power-boost effect is noticeable with the Powerstack battery, without adding the weight.

tldr: The powerstack gives up energy faster, which means it will give a performance boost in some tools. But that comes at the cost of a faster discharge, and since it's ultimately a small battery, you'll get about half the usage time of a 5AH.

Oh, and I should mention that there is some discussion about poor heat dispersal while charging, which will likely decrease the lifespan of the battery. I would recommend using an actively-cooled (read: with a fan) charger with these to maximize longevity.

How do you get it for 67?? Buy the deal then return batts?? Sorry I'm new to this
I'm guessing he just saw $67 and figured that's all it costs. When you add it to the cart (or any other tool that's part of the deal), for some reason it applies a price to the tool and battery. I have heard of ppl returning the battery afterwards, but I also though I read somewhere that they had closed that loophole. I never tried it myself, but that's my guess of what is going on here.

They need to release bigger power stack batteries. These small ones are great for drills or very limited use on high draw tools... That's about it. Price is still to high, roughly $60 each on grey market, to justify replacing your 2ah 20v's. I would just get a set to try it out if it comes with a tool you need.

These sheet sanders are pretty specific use. I would just get an orbital sander for general sanding if youre not into carpentry / wood working.

67 for the sheet sander. Any good ?
No... it is 💩. Basically, it's a $40 sheet sander in terms of quality.

But if it's any consolation, other sheet sanders selling for <$180 are the same thing.

I used to say the same about random orbital sanders, "Anything under $200 is not much different than those at $30", until Bosch came out with their GEX18V-5N. So hopefully another sheet sander comes out and it breaks the 💩 pattern of sanders. Then again, sheet sanders aren't used as often as ROS these days... understandably. )

It's only a 1.7ah battery, so it will run out quickly. I have one I use for quick drill/driver work but other than that I still mostly use my 4ah and flexvolts.
Yeah, the Dewalt hype train for this is a huge disappointment for a lot of Team Yellow folks.

These batteries, and their Atomic brand are horrible. Dewalt really needs to start sending their testing products out to people that will be more critical of their tools, and not just 🍑 kissers.

It breaks my heart that Dewalt quality plunged so far these past 5 years. SB&D are monsters! But, I should be grateful they waited as long as they did to send Dewalt don't the traditional SB&D 💩 - 🚂 lol.

In terms of heat dispersal, that's a flaw in nearly every battery out there these days. They trap the heat inside the shell, so it has no means to escape. Bosch batteries used to be horrible with this. But when they remade them into the core brand battery, they fixed it. So Dewalt will likely end up copying that from Bosch as well, in the future. (hopefully)

Still, the Core are the best batteries in the "Big 4" tool industry. Plus, in Europe, the Bosch batteries are usable in other tool brands... but I don't see that happening in the North American Market ever, unless you buy an adapter.

It's been tough watching Dewalt Decline in the same way other once great tools did from Stanley Black and Decker. Build the name. Build the hype. The lower the quality, and retail prices, but still have record earnings because the manufacturing costs are so much lower.

I don't know how to read what these are but I assume these other numbers are for the same discount combo utilizing other tools and wanted to share in case others here can interpret.

Check out Projext Farm on youtube. Unbiased and legit test for you to decide. Personally, i thinkbit might be cheaper for DeWalt to produce.

I think it's situational. Having a 5 ah battery on a Sander isn't the most comfortable.

Thanks OP. I've never "hacked" a deal before but it was pretty easy. My local HD had the sander in stock, so I ordered it for store pickup. I selected ship to home for the battery. Once I placed the order I immediately cancelled the battery. Just got notification from HD that the sander is ready for pickup, total charge is 71 bucks. Nice!!

I log local 18V power tool battery (Lithium) pack failures. Found same/similar results.

Easily 1st place = Bosch 18V.
For 2nd it's pretty much Milwaukee 18V.
Last: Makita and Ryobi seem most failure prone.
