Daniel Julian Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Any idea when the 2016 Milwaukee Product Symposium will be? Isn't it usually in June? I'm anxious to see if there might be any other tool announcements! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Looks like it's June 7-9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Any predictions for products? Of course the fuel nailers will be a big deal. I'm expecting to see a one key high torque impact wrench too. A lot of people would like to see a cordless miter saw, but I'm not too anxious. I'd like to see if they push harder into the automotive market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Julian Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I hope to see more cordless woodworking products (miter saw, router, orbital/palm sander, etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeInCtown Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'd like a brushless multi tool. (Fuel) Would also like to see a one key high torque impact wrench. In fact I am buying the compact 1/2" before the high torque simply because I don't need the high torque for everything, but do need more than 100 foot pounds often. Would be great to be able to dial in 150 or 200 foot pounds or something similar. Oh, and an orbital polisher so I can polish and wax the car with a cordless brand I have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 12v 4" or so polisher is also not useful for doing an entire vehicle with a 2 or 3 step process. They make a corded polisher but I really want a brushless 7" polisher. They also make a 12v ratchet while the 18v version is an impact with a lot higher RPM. Would like to see an 18v ratchet. And while I'm at it, give me a Fuel 18v hackzall.

khariV Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'd be all in for a Fuel OMT and the fabled M18 miter saw. A new M18 jigsaw would also float my boat so I don't have to buy the barrel grip one from the UK. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeInCtown Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Oh who am I kidding with my wishlist of new 18V tools. I'd be happy with the elimination of slotted screws and the near future elimination of phillips head screws. Once you use square drive and torx drive, everything else seems very dangerous for fingers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might get that brushless multitool. They started producing multitool accessories recently so it can't be too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I'd be surprised if there weren't new jigsaws coming. I think they need new jigsaws much more than they need brushless multitools, their jigsaws seem a bit behind. In my opinion with multitools, they're right in line or better than their direct competition. I'd imagine a one key impact wrench(maybe a couple) and ratchets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Depot recently dropped the price to $99 on the regular ones, so they are either coming out with a new model soon or they realized they needed better pricing to sell more units. For as much use as one would get, I probably don't need a brushless version, but brushless motors usually do last longer and require less maintenance, something I kind of like.

Dano123 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I would like to see them get into the outdoor power equipment game. A trimmer and better designed blower would be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm being honest, I probably don't actually need a brushless multitool either but I was thinking a Fuel redesign was going to be there only way we get an updated design. The current M18 has a handle that's so large around, it's borderline hard for me to hold with one hand.

wildroamer Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 How long after new tool announcements are they typically available? I'm going to need a jigsaw soon... On that note, I've been eying the Bosch corded offerings. What are your thoughts on top handle vs barrel grip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, a good percentage of the announced tools are out by late fall, with a few not slated until early in the following calendar year. Occasionally, delays happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
