Like every other new cordless entry, the problem is market penetration. These companies need to consider doing buy back/credit to get people moved over. I started with Dewalt, and at this point I have 8 batteries from the 2 to 9ah, and 10 tools. Even if I liked something here, I am too far in to start switching. Graphene charges fast, that's great, but I have 5 chargers and all my batteries so I can simply reach out and grab a fresh battery whenever I want, as you never use 10 tools at once (as a homeowner).

What I would like to see is either a affordable universal battery or adaptor so I do not need to buy a new set of tools when the old technology is phased out.

One thing I noticed and confirmed on the CAT website is only the GX5 5AH battery is Graphene. All the other capacities and starter batteries you might find in a kit is Li-On based. My guess is Graphene is still hard to shrink and deal with thermals but perhaps we will get 2ah and 4ah batteries with Graphene duty cycles! Also a 10ah offering in Graphene would make me seriously consider switching. Knowing I could use a battery for a decade and still have plenty of life left? Bonus points if they stand behind those numbers with a good warranty.

Kress sounds cool. Having the 8 minute recharge for someone in the field is great. We all know how Minnesota weather will definitely impact the longevity of the batteries. So that'll have to be discovered. The 20-minute use might be down to 10 in harsh weather conditions. Not perfect for all applications, but a great start for a future without cords or gas cans. Potentially less need for ear protection or respirators from all the exhaust fumes.

The number for saving with the blades is off. This is for a new blade each time you cut. As the blade wears, it will no longer cut the pipe in 46 seconds... and it could possibly take longer to cut than the bonded abrasive blade (it more than likely will at some point)... I'd like to see the comparison after that blade has cut a bunch of pipes and see how it degrades.
@Originalcatdiamondman

That’s not the case. The Matrix holding the diamond grit is designed to wear across its full 10mm depth throughout the lifetime of the blade. Each diamond particle is able to withstand over 250,000 impact cycles and wears in unison with the erosion of the metal bond. Therefore the more you use it the quicker it becomes as the diamond becomes more prominent out of the metallic bond holding the particle in place.

I like how the blade guy made a video comparing his diamond wheel to a cheap abrasive disk. The real question is how does it compare to the hundreds of other diamond wheel cut off blades on the market, and how comparable is the price point with the competitors diamond blades. Also 11 minutes to cut through an 8in ductile steel pipe is complete bs as is the only getting 5 pipes out of it. I use to work for a company that sold ductile iron pipe and have cut countless pieces of it. You can cut through an 8in pipe in a couple minutes and that's with us following a chalk line to make sure it was a straight cut for the customer. You can also use that blade until there is almost nothing left of the blade, the pipe walls are only .525 inches thick on class 52 (standard) 8in ductile just requires you to turn the pipe more.

I Tested the impact driver and I wanted to know if it could unscrew the lug nuts on my Kia forte 2010 (torqued at 70 ft/lb). Not only it could unscrew lug nuts at 70 ft/lb, it was able to unscrew lug nuts torqued at 150 ft/lb...the maximum of my torque wrench. Those Cat power tools are no joke! To save wear and tears dedicated mechanics should use the DX72 impact wrench for everyday use. But for bi-annual tire change the impact driver can do the job.
