Net income, SEK 68 million compared to SEK 58 million last year, which is an improvement of 18%. And in the SEK 68 million, we have also a negative effect of SEK 2 million coming from the new reporting requirement of IFRS 16.

Additional Notes: One of the newest saws in the test and real standout for the standard voltage class. Though it looks nearly identical to DeWalt’s Flexvolt saw in form and features, different internals in this saw provide less power under heavy loads.

Now – to be really clear: These are *optional* modes. You can turn this all off and just shift like you always have. Simple as that.

Right now the Logitech G29 plus shifter makes more sense as a three-pedal setup. Or step up to the superb Thrustmaster T300RS GT Edition, if you can afford to splash the extra cash.

Because of the great diversity in tool voltages and battery amp-hour ratings, we declined to perform runtime testing for these saws. A lot of runtime is based on watt-hours of the batteries, so all things wouldn’t be able to be considered equal with the testing. With batteries ranging from 72 to 180 watt-hours, some have a lot more fuel in the tank than others. Add to that the fact that mere 3.0 Ah battery packs running older technology saws made it through hundreds of feet of OSB in my saw test several years ago. So with 16 saws in our shootout today, I’d be worn out long before the latest mega-packs would be.

16. The carbon-fiber braking scoops are a $195 option. This is sort of like being charged more for guacamole; yes, I know it’s extra, and no, I don’t care. The RSV4 1100 needs air ducts to complete the look. They have a functional benefit as well, as engineers claim that the scoops reduce heat in the brakes and lever stroke extension (fade) to the tune of 20 percent in comparison to a bike not utilizing them.

Russia, the biggest economy in Eastern Europe, has huge potential, but needs a lot of R&D for every application. Many of the Russian Government’s corporations have announced programs for developing industrial technologies and have invested in it—however, moving it into the industrial phase remains a challenge.

Truck trailer, on the other hand, declined by 3% on trucks and 5% on trailers and this is the effect of what had happened in China. We have growth numbers here reported from North America, but the decline comes all from China, and to some degree, from Europe. But overall, a 1% decline for the sales of Haldex.

So you’ve added a state-of-the-art press brake, and you’ve spent a small fortune on precision-ground tooling. The press brake manufacturer promised that this new machine would repeat in microns, but for all your troubles, research, and due diligence, you’re still having the same issues that you’ve always had: inconsistent bend angles and part dimensions. Your operators struggle as they experience part-to-part variations, and your expected production goals are still just a pipe dream. You’re now second-guessing your decision to purchase all that new equipment.
