They had the 2 together in a kit on sale at canadian tire not to long ago for like 149.99 with 2 batteries and a charger

Thank god, someone should lol

Funny, Mine seems to work just fine and cuts like a mad man... Learn to use your tools first before you use it

Everyone is the same these days and want everything for nothing

Here in Canada there was nothing, Some deals but all on things I already have or things nobody needs or wants

Coptool says right in their article it's set at 229 and there is a pre-order now

I don't think Milwaukee is the first to add a charger in a compact radio... To me bluetooth is not that big of deal because depending on what your doing and the line of sight it might that have that great of range... 100ft is stretching it and that would need to be straight line of sight if it even worked that far...Plus streaming bluetooth would end up killing your phone pretty quick. I'd use a basic ipod or another mp3 player plug it in, close the lid and go... I think most people just use the radio anyway, all most I've seen ever do because it's just to keep something in the backround to help pass the day

Everyone brags and throws out the word Innovative... All they did with this is add bluetooth. Sure it's new in a jobsite radio but it's not like Milwaukee is the first company adding bluetooth to a radio. I think the word is overused a tad bit too much... The Powerbox is innovative because it has just about everything in it besides bluetooth, and if bosch were to add it... Well it be the best thing since sliced bread probably and the pre-order on now the radio is $229!!!!!! That's just a bit overpriced considering the powerbox is quite a bit cheaper...

If Milwaukee is "Disruptive Innovation" then I'd love to see what people would call Bosch for the Powerbox... This is the best jobsite radio anywhere

No outlets on the radio

Well one guy said he looked through recent patent's and never seen anything from milwaukee about it so, I wouldn't get your hopes up

Seen it today at canadian tire, same drill in mastercraft colors and a bit less power/rpm http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-maximum-12v-dual-touch-drill-and-driver-0543183p.html#.UpKgEcRDs0o Impact as well http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-maximum-12v-dual-touch-impact-drill-0543184p.html#.UpKhfsRDs0o

Give me the IR anyday... IR knows what their doing in this field and have been doing impact tools for a LONG time

It's like anything else... Like milwaukee building tools here like their Sawzall's... I bet 90% of it is foreign made but put together here...Atleast they are putting it together here and not china

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iohD7HN9sM4 What a beautiful toolbox, unreal craftsmanship

I don't think any of them are really that good the dewalt, milwaukee or the bosch

The chinese are slowly telling companies their not going to work for pennies anymore and without good wages and working conditions they won't work... And this is why companies are starting to bring back manufacturing jobs because it's cheaper to build stuff here once you start paying the chinese a decent wage

Old Dodge for yah Dead On Delivery Go Elsewhere or Doing Overhauls Daily Gets Expensive

Dewalt is far from perfection but by the way some people talk here is that Milwaukee was built and created by Jesus himself lol which is FAR from the case... this really should be a Milwaukee only forum sometimes from the way some talk so someone has to keep everyone here in check Dewalt builds good tools and we all know it for a fact... My father in law has been using the same Dewalt 12" miter saw since I believe 1997 when he built his brother's house and it works perfect still to this day and I don't even want to imagine how much it's been used and abused since Milwaukee's tools were a poorer quality when they first released the first 18v battery line as well... heard a many horror stories from many people... It was a sad time at Milwaukee TTI needed to spend a huge amount of money and HAD to do something because things were in the dumps... Without TTI's huge investment, Milwaukee might not even exist, if they did it be a shell of what it is now B&D is far from perfect, and same goes for TTI and it's brands...

The adapter would of been to expensive and a little to complicated with the 20v being totally different then 18v tools, would of had to redo the whole tool works

It was a good option for the people that had a clue, Better battery, better runtime plus all the other advantages...

Dewalt was like any company and expanding their lineup, Milwaukee I think a few years ago was scrambling more then Dewalt was/is now because Dewalt was by far the biggest and most popular brand and TTI knew that and poured I'd say more then a Billion into Milwaukee to make it competitive again and invested deep into brushless to try and get ahead of the game because their previous 18v offerings and battery tech was pretty well a joke with multiple battery failures and poor quality tools Dewalt is not going crazy with tool releases,they releasing tools in a timely fashion (slow to some) but they usually get great reviews because it released when it was finished and maybe not faster then other brands that will release a poor tool 6 months to fast. They are behind Milwaukee right now but Milwaukee, they had to do something drastic and pour money into the brand, because well they sucked at the time....It worked out well for them but I see no scrambling in my eyes from Dewalt...Just business as usual

I take it this will easily put Dewalt ahead of Milwaukee for Made in USA tools

That doesn't mean anything, It takes MONTHS even years of development to put out tools that work, it's not done overnight... Most of this was planned long ago probably not long after Milwaukee started releasing their own brushless tools

Companies that scramble put out junk because it goes out to fast, Dewalt doesn't build junk... Dewalt may be a little behind in brushless products but I don't think their scrambling...
