  2. meanwhile you can by the adaptor and the 18V gun 

    of course does not make sense from investment point of view if the 20v max gun only has several weeks/ fewmonths release date

    my unofficial sources however say will take till mid 2016

     

    so buying the two item now makes sense

    just found it on Dewalt web site (wow, a post on a Sunday)

  4. I ordered 2x atv4 on Moday; they are also shipping via UPS;

    we should move the apple ATV4 stuff towards a different thread; I´m sure there will be many posts/questions / tips & tricks

     

    would just confuse the info in this thread

     

    thx

     

    mike

  5. more info in this forum;

    could not post the picture at other forum

    availability according to press release : March 2016

     

     

     

    New to DEWALT’s 20V MAX* system of outdoor equipment is the 20V MAX* 5.0Ah Hedge Trimmer. At only 7.8 lbs it’s lightweight, durable and the right tool for serious hedge trimming tasks. The 22” laser-cut, hardened steel blades with 3/4″ cut capacity provide long blade life, lasting sharpness, and precise cuts. A wrap around auxiliary handle gives the user a comfortable grip, while the switch with lock-off allows for fast, yet controlled actuation.

     

    cheers

  6. Hi

     

    topic says it all !

     

    I have a cordless dewalt joiner DW932 (almost new, seldom used) with housing for 18v stem batteries

    I was wondering if I can convert the tool to a XR battery housing ?

     

    e.g. using the housing of a dcg412 grinder

     

     

    I think this was done before, but I lost track/ never followed up;

     

    Any EXPERIANCE / tips or tricks ???

     

    This would be a great tool , as Dewalt does not make this 

     

     

    thx

    for help & hints

  7. UK Dealers are now showing the

    DCN660 nailer 

    IN Stock
