same quality, same design, same weight, just longer runtime
I have about 16 in use
in Germany they are approx. 100€ each
and 6,Ah is also a bit away; tooo long to wait !!!!!!!!!!!
in this respect I just learned something interesting why companies are still holding back
(to produce / manufacture 6,0AH is Not the problem)
The Problem is shipping ; 6Ah batteries are in category hazardous material and have to be shipped in special way
and the value EU regulation can´t be higher than 100
example battery 5Ah and 18v ==> 5x18 = 90 (sorry don´t know the unit) so ok with "normal shipping"
6Ah x 18V ==> 6x18 = 108 !! > 100 = hazordous material ( I assume at least double price in shipping cost; so no business case, as the majority of consumers will not pay this
good news:
EU is working on changing the limit value to 160 ( maybe end of year)
means also that shipping a DeWalt battery with 36V and 4AH would be ok
36x4 = 144; hence smaller than 160

new products / new releases;
just "hold back" a few more weeks !
one of the worlds biggest construction fairs / trade shows will be in Mid January2015 in Munich Germany;
my home town
All the "big shots" from marketing and product managers will be there
so some official talks and very inofficial info will be available
Dewalt is "under pressure" for the show to have brochures / flyers and catalogs available
normally things like this only pop up in Feb or sometime in Q1;
example: the dch274 will already be available in Jan in the UK, but only in Aprli in Germany
hint:
on the horizon, but very unofficial
cordless mitre saw (lab testing, etc. going on)
cordless caulking gun
cordless finishing nailer
cordless drywall gun (dcf620 Q1 2015, pictures and info is already out)
and secrects they would kill me for !
cheers

Hi
total surprise for me, because normally I´m well informed;
also a "crazy model number", very untypical !
yesterday I saw a NEW cordless drill (there were no rumors) and it is ALREADY available now
a) in Europe the model number is DCD771 C2
a surprise because it has unusual 1,3 Ah slide on batteries !
(Dewalt had 4 types: 1,5 Ah 2,0Ah "yellow top" 3,0 4,0Ah yellow top
I really don´t understand this move unless it is for agressive pricing
In Germany it runs approx. 175Euro with a new "compact charger DCB106 and 2x 1,3AH (18V batteries)
no info on availability in UKc) also saw it on a Black Friday Listing at Home Deopt
PRICE SENSATION for USA !! only $99 for the KIT

Thx to Stuart for this posting !!
greetings
