I was interested when you said Makita made a robot vacuum, until I saw the $ 1217 list price. just a lot outside of my budget.
My wife loves : my Makita cordless stuff, robotic vacuums and spending money. But even she says that's crazy expensive.It is and not even that decent imo

Vc3012l is not an auto cleaning model. Keep that in mind.
So you will ant to work with filter bags and tools that create alot of fine dust ( grinders, wall chasers, planex etc...) Are not meant to be used on this model

Are you sure about the warranty? I live in Finland and order most of my Dewalt from UK and warranty still works. But then again we are both part of Europe so that's maybe a mattering factor.

That's dependant on how your local deWalt/makita/Bosch handles warrantee. There's a 1 year factory warranty across all of Europe for every brand. They have to do that.
But warranty extensions to 3 years isn't something they legally have to do. For makita in Belgium the extended warranty only works if you bought it from a Belgium dealer. If you bought it outside Belgium, you only get your 1 year commercial warranty and 2 years for diy people as required by law.

And Hitachi koki doesn't own Hitachi/metabo anymore.
That's been sold off and that's why they are getting the name change to hikoki

If I had access to those I would have posted them. Somewhere in the next month I'd guess

For the long history deWalt has in different batteries/platforms I'm not sure that buying a new OPE only platform from deWalt was ever the best choose for longevity 😕

Getting to see them in September in Belgium

I haven't looked into it but I would guess we have them.
For EU regulations at least an M class vacs need to have a light or an audible alarm if the suction drops off too much.
If your hose or filter gets clogged then the alarm should sounds. The fourth button on the back is to select your hose diameter so the vacuum doesn't think a 36mm hose is clogged up when you have a 28mm on there ( which can let less air trough )

Ooh and as far as the felling dogs (spikes) go... Come in handy on the bigger saws, but these smaller saws you don't really need them IMO...
Milwaukee I think added them in to make the saw look tough more then anything like it's going to do serious cutting back in the woods with the big boys haha
Well it's good practise to cut your log as close to the motor as possible so rather have the logs hitting metal spikes then the plastic housing tho

We only get at most 3 dials on Festool vacs in North America
Do you have L and M class in North America ?

That looks nice but on a side note what is the 4th dial on that vac?
I'm guessing one changes suction power, one is on/off/auto switch, and the other changes time between filter cleaning. Maybe the 4th changes length of filter cleaning? or filter cleaning power?
4th dial is hose diameter. To prevent the beeping from going off. Requirement of a m class

For the Bosch fans :

Hurrah, the 18v chainsaw (DUC254Z) is finally arriving!
Somebody on a Dewalt topic mentioned a Makita brushless mower with metal deck, is there any information about that?
Havent heard about it but would fit. The current models have been sold off in all kinds of actions to sell out stock.

Hey kornomaniac
Do you have any news/details you can share about the vc3012l. Saw a post on Instagram. When can I get my hands on it in Canada?
It's been put in europe for more then a year. It's a great unit if you don't need the auto clean function.

How big a space did he say and what kind of space? If the space allotted for new stuff is lots of shelf space then it might be an indication that the new brushless 12v is coming sooner than we expect? or lots of floor space might mean new larger tools like a flex vac or 10 in flex table saw?
Nothing so in detail.

No nothing yet sorry
was discussing with the deWalt rep what tools to stock up on for our deWalt display when he mentioned keeping some space for new stuff coming in September event in Belgium. Only would tell me about jigsaws

Belgium is getting new deWalt jigsaws in September. Both body grip and d handle.
We're going to be a dewalt dealer most likely pretty soon

You should be able to see 2 steel balls inside the Chuck that hold the bit. These are easily replaceable.

Nope nothing new. Just some more confirmation from and the Japanese dude leading g makita in Belgium that is coming. He couldn't even confirm me the voltage. Could be 58 or 60 or 62 or whatever. I wouldn't expect any compatability between these OPE tools and existing 18v models.

Wow your even more expensive then Belgium over there. And that doesn't happen Alot

so what was the point keeping the new batteries interchangeable ?
just to say its compatible ?
That's most likely the only reason. Marketing.
In any practical sense it's a whole new battery platform. You HAVE to buy the new 12 amp batteries to get the new tools to run as they should.
And altho the 12 amps are backwarths compatible with the ' normal' 18v tools.... For pretty much all normal tools it's a ridiculous and non practical thing to be hanging a 1.5 kg battery on the tool.
So claiming compatibility and keeping it called ' M18' is more of a marketing thing then of much practical use

So Joe,
After seeing all the things milwaukee brought out on a 18v battery. Do you still think that ' 60 volt is everything and 18v can never get close ' or however you have formulated it many times ?

But in the real world on a jobsite you use the tool and chuck the battery straight on the charger when it dies.
Of course but that's true for every battery and charger system out there. Since it is completly un-impossible to have people compare charging times after batteries being in use ( cause everyone used them differently ) the only real metric you can compare is :
How long does a cooled down battery to take to charge.
And that's what charge times that manufacturer s claim tell us.
Nothing more and nothing less

This or something else has to be a big contributor for numbers going that far off, especially a 5Ah taking a full 30 minutes longer than advertised. I’ve never thought to bother timing my batteries but if my 5Ah ever took that much longer than they were supposed to I sure as hell would have noticed.
The advertised charge times for the most part go up linearly with total battery capacity, suggesting the same current rate is going into the cells regardless of capacity. This makes perfect sense whether the limiting factor is all these cells being the same size or the charger simply operating at its current limit. Either way no shortage of other users report them coming in at the advertised time.
Thinking on this further, it will be interesting to see if Makita will need/want an updated charger that can/will put higher charge currents into the upcoming larger cells that in theory should be able to handle it.
Dc18rf is out in japan. 40 minutes for a full charge of 6 amp.

How to kill a cordless power tool battery????
in Power Tools
Posted
First Point would be finding out what you did wrong to kill your batteries.
Batteries do not die by themselves.
Batteries die from bas usage, bad charging, overdrawing, laying around empty etc....
Before you start claiming warranty think about how you threat your batteries and what u need to improve in your handling of lithium batteries.
I know everyone thinks they are entitled to warranty always but the first fault is with yourselves
