  1. what does 'rapidly expanding line' mean to you?  Personally, I would have thought a few tools a year at most (especially when looking at the 20V line for reference).

     

    I guess this is the crux of the matter.

  2. ^^ that's what I thought. I don't think everyone appreciates how much work goes into creating new tools that are job site ready.

     

    The opportunity I think that has gone begging (but probably won't forever) is a 2 x 54V table saw.

     

    I'm also disappointed (and I expect many of you are too) that Dewalt are releasing new tools overseas and the US has to wait longer for them...

  3. I think that because Milwaukee produce 30 new tools a year *innovation!* that people expect everyone else should. Well you heard it here first, not every company wants to be Milwaukee.

     

    Do you know how many impact drivers Metabo has made on it's current lineup? 1
    How many nailers have Bosh produced? 1. Metabo: 0. Makita: 1.

     

    I get that people WANT stuff, but there's a difference between requesting/hoping and demanding/expecting.

     

    Edit: And by the way, I'd take Dewalts 16Ga nailer over everyone else's put together (except Hitachi, who I haven't tried yet).

  4. I really don't get people's attitudes on this.

     

    A manufacturer creates a new tool that does what is claims it will do. They make no promises about future tools being made the same. Buyers PRESUME that more similar tools will be released and get salty 11 months later when they haven't.

     

    If you don't want a saw that needs two batteries to run, don't buy it. If you don't want an electric adapter, don't buy it. The way I see it, Dewalt tried to make something awesome and someone will always find a way to make them seem like bad guys.

  5. Name the three manufacturers correctly:
     
    203 Nm - Milwaukee M18FPD-0 
    205 Nm - Dewalt DCK266P2
    207 Nm - Hitachi WH18DBDL2


    Correct Makita fan. You're up.

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but you didn't google them did you? I wasn't expecting model numbers ....

  6. Hmmm, i was thinking much too small. I was presuming (very incorrectly) that the uptake in metal chucks only happened in the Li-Ion age. Pls excuse my ignorance.

     

    As you should all have known (based on the questioner and his profile pic), the first brand to introduce BL motors to the general public was Makita. 2004 I believe....

    Correct @dwain

    Let's hope Metabo have something spectacular brewing. That along with a brushless recip saw! 

     

    I can tell you with certainty that they do have a BL impact driver brewing! ;)

     

    Next question:

    Who was the last of the big brands to bring out a cordless drill with metal chuck?
