Review on πŸ”§ Premium POWERTEC 71358 Guide Rail Connector Set: Festool, Makita, DeWalt, Triton - Pack of 2 by Tim Harrington

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works with Dewalt Track Saw Tracks

After looking for a Dewalt OEM connector that only returned UK sources which included exorbitant postage/duties on top of the high cost of the item I decided to give these Powertec units a try. Instead of a Dewalt connector about $50, they cost about $8.19 each. The questions and answers in the Revain review regarding the use of these devices with Dewalt splints were ambiguous to say the least, so I ordered them with the possibility that I might have to return them. After receiving them I can unequivocally say that they work with Dewalt trucks. Just a caveat. Inserting into the end with a punched hole (most likely for hanging) resulted in jamming due to flash through. Inserting the other end went smoothly and they fit well - not too loose and not too tight. In fact, I decided to store them in the rail groove itself by only slightly tightening the set screws. A very economical solution to the problem of Dewalt rail connector availability.
