Yeah. There was a rumour from a few months ago about this coming out some time this year. Not sure if it was ever confirmed or not.

I find myself reaching for my DCS355 way more than I thought I ever would. Every time I pull it out, friends and family are confused and then amazed so I think that is my favourite. Close second would be the 8v max gyro screwdriver. It's handy.

Shiptoit might work? I think you have to pay a fee, shipping, and customs. I have never tried it with Home Depot, but it has worked for me with other stores.

I've convinced myself that DeWalt is secretly holding out so they can release a Flexvolt worm drive saw. I have no reason to think this, but the new Makita saw (not technically a worm drive, I know) gives me hope.

It's weird that you never see anyone call out Milwaukee on this. Only Dewalt...

UWO is just the power generated (in watts) when the drill or whatever is going full tilt. Torque is a measure of the drills ability to turn an object, like a screw. Using similar units, UWO is in Nm/s (Newton-metres per second) and torque is in Nm (Newton-metres). The reasoning from Dewalt is that looking at torque over time gives a more accurate description of a drill's potential than peak torque (which is, I think, what most torque listings tend to be; thank you Surge marketing materials). This reasoning makes sense to me because you run a drill over a period of time rather than for an instant. Any engineers on the board might have a more informed opinion than I do about this.

I can confirm this is correct.

I found a french website that lists the DCH 323 (Flexvolt SDS+) as having 2.8 J of impact energy. Isn't that much less than the DCH 293 (new 20v SDS+)? I thought it was listed at 3.5 J. That doesn't make a tonne of sense. Source: https://www.zone-outillage.fr/fiche-produit/dewalt/perforateur-sans-fil/dch323-54-v-xr-flexvolt

If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing!

The government simplified it in 2013. If you have a Canadian parent, you are Canadian. I think Quebec City is a more friendly place than Montreal. You just have to have an interpreter because they refuse to speak English. Once you are past that though, they are super polite in my experience. Most Montrealers I've met are happy to insult you in both official languages.

The chucks on those two models look different to me. The picture from the flyer looks like the chuck is much bigger to me. Not sure if it makes a difference, but that could indicate two different models; SDS+ and SDS max.

Great idea! I wish it would happen, but getting the companies to agree is likely not easy. And if some one tries you would probably end up with this...

18V seems like overkill... 10.8V should be enough for a caulking gun

I have EGO's 15" trimmer and the bump hasn't misfired on me yet.

I forget which blog had it, but one that covered the most recent media event posted a video called '20 volt round up' on youtube. It had mention of an XR 3/8 impact, so it's coming.
