Sometimes wish tools cases had more than 1 extra batt store, I don't take my chargers to site but do put extra batts in the cases.

The uk uses 110v on site so I can't see it being hard to have the flexvolt ac/Dc adaptor on uk sites for the saw. I used to use the dewalt 24v Ac/Dc converter years ago. If if a home owner want to use the 120v then they simply have to buy a transformer If we do see the 120v saw in the EU why bother with the smaller 54v when the 18v and 120v should meet all needs. Seems strange really. Maybe the 120v EU version is going to be very costly due to the changes they have to make to meet CE mark.

There will def be a price drop after 6/12 months as seen with other dewalt tools in the UK. As with alot of these goods there is a certain high demand at the start from consumers that will purchase as soon as possible.

UK / EU for the moment anyways i alittle sad about the uk market not getting the big 120v mitre, we are getting a 216mm 60v mitre based on an old model of saw sold in the EU. Maybe when we leave the EU system dewalt can sell usa spec tools to the uk market without having to change design/ safety features. heres the saw we are getting we are also getting a 54v aligator saw

filtering out the faff he does give you an idea of what your getting quality wise inside different tools. When your deciding on a tool and you know one make has poor switches in the tool or another had better quality plastic its all good info in my eyes.

Dewalt are late to most party's so I'm not expecting a huge step in tech from them tbh. A higher torque 18v drill would be them catching up, a battery that switches between 18v and 36 is pointless unless they make some good 36v tools. There 12v line is dead which is why many have switched away from it.

ave's review of the ryobi shows it has a weakness or two which puts me off alittle, especially the switch/trigger but i guess theres a reason they are cheaper.

looks like a systainer type/ made box like the makita, other makes have cases made by the same manufacturer i think aswell.

i have 2 bosch, one a worm drive imported to the uk from the USA. i have not used them for a few years tho as i survive with my dewalt 18v xr for most my work.

ive imported PC 20v drill driver and impact to the uk and been using them every other day for 1.5 years and im very happy with them, better than i expected. I got them just for a change as everone i know (me inclueded) has Dewalt and Makita so i wanted to be different and its pointless somebody nicking them out my kit as they wont be able to get a charger without some effort.

Hitachi have joined the over 110nm club with the new Hitachi DV18 DBXL with a max torque of 136nm. Thats now Makita followed by Milwaukee gen 2 and now Hitachi....... in the next year or so will we see 140-150. Come on Dewalt its sometimes cool to be late to the party, but dont turn up when the beers been drunk

id have to say the makita 36v (2x18) looks likely to be top of the tree for now, but a tool fight between them all is needed by one of the video channels.

looks alot better than the dewalt performance wise, which is hard to say cus the dewalt is so good. shame its not got a version of a xps light.

not seen it in the UK yet.

id like the hedge trimmer, but i dont have a hedge
