I'm leaning towards the map gas because I've read it burns hotter and I previously had a propane kit that caught a fire when trying to light it.I think the propane tank refills are like $40 while the map is around $70.Also the map has a variety of different tip configurations ranging from $200+ to $500+ whereas the propane is basically around $200 in most places for the same tip.

I mean I know it'll be cheaper as Hadden is expensive to say the least, but how much cheaper was it?
carluva wrote:FWIW and for those interested, I got these two along with a reciprocating saw back in 2015. They came with the 18V NiCad batteries. Those batteries no longer good and weren't holding charge.
I found a DeWalt 18V to 20V Li battery adapter online but needed the tools asap. I ended up buying a generic 18V to 20V adapter at Protocols on the eastern main road close to Bermudez factory. I tried their 2.0Ah generic battery and bought the DeWalt 4.0Ah at Ft Farfan. Ft Farfan didn't have the adapter.
The tools themselves not much heavier than using the NiCad batteries. But the power is superb and the batteries hold charge wonderfully.
Only gripe is that the generic adapter is a bit difficult to remove when I have to plug it on the jigsaw. A flat head screwdriver is needed. Other than that, no complaints.
Definitely recommend for those with the 18V DeWalt tools.
I never had issues bringing down battery operated tools, I even brought just the battery alonecarluva wrote:Hello guys. I need some advice.
I'm considering having a battery operated hedge trimmer and chain saw sent via sea freight, in a box/barrel that someone will pack for me.
I know that Li-ion and Li-Po batteries are considered Hazmat and require special documentation as a Hazmat cargo.
For those who brought in such tools recently, are there special requirements or any foreseeable issues with these tools being sent in a barrel/box via sea freight?
