Milwaukee has a big following and that’s not bad. I think it comes down to do you really need this particular tool? Do you use the right angle driver on a regular basis?
If so, then this is something you should check out. For those of you who do, Dualsaw RS 1000 is an alternative to the Milwaukee right angle driver. This will get you as much bang for your buck as industry leader.
At least on paper, the specs is solid and performance rival the industry leader. The ergonomics feel like home. But ultimately, buying tools come down to how tool feels after eight hours of use.
And it survived a fall off the ladder. Battery compatibility and durability are big factors in value. It’s not all about raw power.
Reviewing The Dualsaw RS 1000 Right Angle Driver
Dualsaw RS 1000 Overview
There’s also a big price gap. If you compare it to, say, Milwaukee M18 Fuel, you’re saving upwards of two or three hundred bucks. That’s quite a bit of money.
With that kind of cash in your pocket, you could pick up some accessories. That would be compelling if you were contractor working on a tight budget. For a hobbyist, having deep pockets might not matter so much.
Price Comparison and Savings
Financially speaking, it’s a strong argument. Doubts are cast when it comes to performance. For its class, the RS 1000 put out some serious torque.
It screws into drywall like butter. It drives structural lumber like a champ. No stalling.
Performance and Torque Output
The transmission are quiet. The gear reduction is smooth. Ninety percent of application won’t leave you wondering where the juice went.
When it comes to the limit (well), let’s just say that driving long lag screws into hard dense wood all day long may reach the top. The power level are good enough for finish work as well as more general framing. This brings me to another big benefit, battery compatibility.
Battery Compatibility Benefits
The batteries is compatible with One+, Ryobi and Dualsaw tools. Meaning if you already have a bunch of Ryobi 18v tools they are backwards compatible. You do not need to buy whole new ecosystem.
Just drop it in and go. I think this makes it an easier sell. It makes it more of a no-brainer when buying the product.
I like that you can swap out batteries between brands. People has mixed opinions on the build quality. Plastic housing feels sturdy.
Build Quality and Durability
It is not an industrial beast like higher-end competitors. Battery latch is known to wear out after extended use according to some users. Typical gripe from budget tool.
Still, you can get this thing down and dirty and it holds up well to daily work. It might not last the abuse of a high-end tool meant for hard commercial work. You pay less, you get less in terms of durability.
It is a fair deal for most, but not all. Another aspect of this equation are warranty and support. A warranty is offered by Dualsaw.
Warranty and Support Network
And the support network is smaller. If something happens you’re not walking into huge dealer network. You’re working with a small company.
For some, that means longer wait times to get things fixed/changed out. That’s a deal breaker for some. For others, the upfront savings are worth the risk of having a little less peace of mind since they won’t have a big-brand warranty.
Peace of mind have real value. If you fit in this category, then the Dualsaw RS 1000 is for you. If you’re a high volume framer who needs a tool to last ten years under constant abuse, you might want to spend the extra money for the big brand instead.
If you’re a high volume framer who needs a tool that will last ten years under constant abuse, you might want to spend the extra money for the big brand. You’re a serious DIYer or general contractor and you’d like to pay a little less but still have pro-like performance. If so, the RS 1000 is the way to go.
Final Verdict and Recommendation
You’ll get what you pay for where it matters. So what’s the bottom line? Get ninety percent of the performance at half the price.
That sounds good to me. I can afford a solid tool, but it costs less. Seems like a good deal.
Sometimes you don’t have to spend most money to get a great machine. And this one makes sense. If you’re on a budget and want a bang for your buck, then the RS 1000 fits that bill.
The money goes into your pocket. You get the work done. This is a good deal to consider.
You should of seen how it works. It acts more better than expected. I actualy think it’s moddern.
Its verry comfortabley. The quality is luxurius. People dissapears when things break, but not here.
