fm2176 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Interesting, we'll see how it holds up when Snap-On appeals the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 They also have lawsuits against several other companies over the same patent. Basically everyone but DeWalt, Bosch, Metabo, and Makita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 This is hogwash! They're all using the same cells! THE SAME CELLS FROM THE SAME CELL MANUFACTURERS! So, what exactly are Snap-on supposed to have done? There wasn't much info in that article, sounded ridiculous though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrosBros82 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Odd, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Makita settled out of court. I don't know if Dewalt negotiated an agreement. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/press-releases/milwaukee-and-makita-reach-agreement-in-lawsuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D W Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 The other brands should sue Milwaukee when they eventually copy dual battery, dual voltage, or bigger cells. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framer joe Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Well I quess black and decker should sue everyone else since they invented the first cordless power tool for NASA.......but Milwaukee should definitely get a kick back from Dewalt for copying their tripod light almost exactly..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
