weird. yet the model number sounds very Milwaukee (BPD).
I think it's just short for Brushless Power Drill.
The DeWalt DCD model name is probably just short fo DeWalt Cordless Drill.

Here's a similar Mafell DD400 DUO Doweller: http://katalog.mafell.de/index.php?IdTreeGroup=12929#I:12958/
It has some smarter alignment features than the Triton, but is also way more expensive.

The name is owned by the Ryobi corporation of Japan which sells a totally different tool lineup in Japan.
The original Japanese Ryobi has 3 different tool lines, a blue entry-line, a red DIY-line and a green professional line.
I just checked their website and as the first thing I checked out their brushless hammer drill and immediately recognised it as a rebadged DeWalt DCD795.
Funny how Ryobi sold the American rights for the Ryobi name to TTI, and then went to one of Milwaukee's fiercest competitors to buy rebranded DeWalt tools for their pro line instead of buying rebranded Milwaukee tools from TTI.

We might see some updates out of GIE this year. GIE is a big OPE trade show they have every fall. Just have to wait and see if Milwaukee had anything to say or showed up.
I'm afraid not. Milwaukee was not an exhibitor at the GIE+EXPO 2016.

I'll put in my vote for the EGO, I have the Trimmer, hedge trimmer and the blower. They all work great with the possible exception of the string bump advance on the string trimmer. EGO is a great way to go though.
What's the issue with the string bump advance?

They guy in the movie is talking about the obious LCD screen on top of the tool.
It's not an LCD screen, but just simple discrete and robust LED diodes. There's just a green square around it which makes it look like a screen.
You can watch more about the new Bosch GWS 18V-125 C connected angle grinder @18:54 in this video from the same Bosch Blue Innovation Summit 2016:

If you think the Bosch blue-line pro grade tools are too expensive, you can always get their green-lin DIY grade tools instead.
They both have power tools and outdoor equipment in their green-line, however I don't think any of it is sold in America. But in Europe it's available everywhere.

Actually it's not 36V vs. 56V.
In reality it's 36V vs. 50.4V.
Makita use the the nominal voltage (real world voltage) of 3.6V per cell, while EGO only use the so called 'max' voltage (American marketing voltage) of 4V per cell, which is never specified in battery cell datasheets unlike the nominal voltage.
To convert from Vmax to Vnominal, just multiply by 0.9.
Makita has 10x 3.6Vnominal cells in series to create 36Vnominal.
EGO has 14x 3.6Vnominal cells in series to create 50.4Vnominal.
The nominal voltage can be used to calculate the max energy storage in a battery: Vnominal * Ah = Wh.
The 'max' voltage on the other hand is useless for anything but fooling customers and for d**k measuring contests.
However be aware EGO use the Vmax voltage instead of Vnominal voltage to calculate a fake Wh number for all their batteries, so the EGO batteries can never store as much energy as they claim they can.
They still make great tools from all I hear, but I'm not a fan of false advertising like that. One thing is to use Vmax voltage, but it's a whole other thing to then use this Vmax voltage to claim a false energy capacity.
For example EGO claim their 56V; 7.5Ah battery has an energy capacity of 420Wh, but this is outright lying! Under no circumstances can an EGO 56V; 7.5A battery store 420Wh of energy.
The real energy capacity is not 420Wh, but only 50.4V * 7.5Ah = 378Wh.
So EGO claim their batteries can store 11.1% energy more than they actually can.
Not all tool manufactures who use the Vmax voltage to market their tools use this to state a fake energy capacity like EGO does. Most still use the nominal voltage to calculate the energy capacity even if they use Vmax in their marketing.
And Nowhere in their marketing does EGO mention that the claimed 56V is just the Vmax voltage. But everyone who opens up an EGO battery can see it only has 14x 3.6V 18650 li-ion cells in series, meaning 50.4Vnominal.

I'm not sure what brand it is. But I have this similar mini pry bar from Swedish high quality brand Hultafors and I can see your tool still has some red paint on it too, so it could be an old Hultafors too. Not sure if Hultafors is sold in the US though, but otherwise you can always order online from Europe. Hultafors makes knives and axes too among many other tools, so they are used to sharp edges.

I just found the same products at Honda UK's website: http://www.honda.co.uk/lawn-and-garden/products/cordless/overview.html
I also found this press release from 20 January 2016: http://hondanews.eu/eu/en/corporate/media/pressreleases/70735
In this press release Honda doesn't hide the fact that these products are manufactured by Chevron (the company behind the EGO Power+ product line).
QuoteHonda to introduce first products in new cordless handheld lawn and garden range powered by high-performing 56-volt DC battery technology
- Honda announces the first releases in its new range of cordless handheld lawn and garden products
- A hedge trimmer, lawn trimmer and leaf blower will be on sale in Honda dealers from March 2016
- Products use 56-volt DC battery technology for high performance, long run-time and fast charging
Honda will introduce the first products in its new cordless handheld range for Europe in March 2016. Powered by 56-volt DC battery technology, the range will be manufactured by leading international power tools specialist, Chervon.
The first entrants to the line-up will be a hedge trimmer, lawn trimmer and leaf blower, marking Honda’s entry into the fast-growing battery-powered handheld Lawn & Garden market and extending its line-up beyond four-stroke petrol power for the first time.
The introduction of the new range comes at a time of a clear move towards battery-powered Lawn & Garden products in the marketplace. By using 56-volt DC battery technology, Honda can offer the customer high performance, long run-time and fast charging. Honda’s aim in introducing the new range is to widen the appeal of its brand by offering more choice to suit customer’s needs and preferences.
Manufactured by Chervon, Honda’s new cordless handheld leaf blower and lawn trimmer have been subject to further enhancements by Honda engineers, adapting technologies to ensure compliance with European regulation. The range will be branded in the familiar Honda red, common to all of Honda’s handheld Lawn & Garden products.
New product information
The hedge trimmer features a dual-action steel blade, laser-cut for smooth, precise operation. The diamond-ground surfaces provide clean, accurate cutting for a neat finish and healthy regrowth.
The lawn trimmer gives safe, precise cutting, through the use of a nylon cord with an automatic feed system. The trimmer is equally suitable for edging, or clearing long grass and overgrown areas.
Quiet, lightweight and compact, the leaf blower is specified with a powerful turbine fan creating a 120 mph airstream. Perfect for clearing lawns, paths, patios and driveways, or tidying up after hedge-trimming.
To accompany the new products Honda will also offer a choice of two batteries – a 2.0 Ah and a 4.0 Ah 56-volt lithium-ion unit. Two speeds of charger will also be available, with the fast charger able to fully charge the 2.0 Ah battery in as little as 25 minutes.
Pierre Vallet, General Manager of Honda Motor Europe Power Product division comments: “By partnering with a specialist in battery technology such as Chervon we are confident that we have some of the very best performing cordless handheld products on the market.While many customers need the capability, performance and power of petrol-powered handhelds, others with less demanding gardens prefer the convenience and usability of battery-powered products, making this a natural move for Honda to extend its product range to a wider customer base.”
Honda’s new handheld range will be offered across its entire European Lawn & Garden sales network from March 2016. Pricing will vary by country, and the range will carry a two-year warranty, consistent with all other products in Honda’s Lawn & Garden range.

EGO isn't marketed in my country Denmark. But today at the hardware store I saw a red Honda battery powered blower and immediately recognized it, and then realized it was just a rebadged EGO. It had a charged battery in it, so I tested it, but this tool blows!
Honda Denmark's range of rebadged EGO products: http://hondapower.dk/produkter/have/batterimaskiner
Edit: found it at Honda UK's website too: http://www.honda.co.uk/lawn-and-garden/products/cordless/overview.html
Honda UK Cordless Brochure: http://www.honda.co.uk/content/dam/local/uk/brochures/lawn-garden/Cordless Brochure.pdf
No battery powered lawn mowers in the rebadged range yet, but hopefully they will be added later.
I'm not sure if the rabadged Honda is only marketed in countries where EGO isn't present?
Has anyone seen the red Honda EGO products in other countries?

Another new feature on the Bosch I would like to see tested is electronic clutch. Instead of a mechanical clutch that just keeps clicking when the selected torque setting is reached, the new Bosch immediately stops the drill so you wont hear any clicking when the screw has reached the selected torque. This reduces clutch and and drill wear and you won't hear the annoying clicking noise.
Does any of the other models in the review have an electronic clutch too?
This German review (with English subtitles if you turn it on) is comparing the new Bosch GSR 18 V-EC 2016 to the previous Bosch GSR 18 V-EC. He demonstrates the new electronic clutch @5:05
He also demonstrates the KickBack Control @3:45

Some CMT Orange Tools routers are re-badged Triton routers.
Before CMT switched to Triton they had a similar deal with German tool manufacturer Elu and later DeWalt after DeWalt took over Elu. The Elu MOF177E / DeWalt DW625E router was also sold in Orange as CMT 2000. Sources:

The same goes for the Super Jaws that is sold under both the CMT and Triton brands.
CMT is especially famous for their routers and their huge range of high quality router bits, at least they are very well known for this here in Europe.

My current plans are as follows:
18V COMPACT HAMMER DRILLS:
MODELS: Bosch BL DDS183, Dewalt BL DCD796, Makita BL DHP480, Milwaukee BL 2702-20, Metabo BS18 Quick (NOT BL or Hammer).
TESTS: Runtime in 35mm pine with 17mm augers (2Ah batts) | Power in 1st & 2nd speed by trying increasing sizes of auger bits (5ah and 2Ah) | 6mm concrete drilling | 3mm and 8mm steel drilling | Driving bugel batten screws
OTHER: Weight, comfort, heat?, chuck grip and accuracy, price, warranty, RPM/BPM
Thoughts???
Looking forward to the review.
Hopefully you will test and demonstrate the KickBack Control of Bosch BL DDS183 and check if any of the competitors has a KickBack control feature too. This is the first compact model from Bosch to have KickBack Control. Their robust series has had this feature for a long time, but here they called it ERC (Electronic Rotation Control) on their old 4-pole brushed drill. On the new brushless robust and compact series drill they changed the name to KickBack Control, but it's the same thing.
Bosch Electronic Rotation Control ad
Btw. isn't the Bosch only named BL DDS183 in North America and GSB 18 V-EC for Australia, Europe etc. The only real difference is the accepted input voltage of the charger though.
It is however annoying that Bosch has decided to keep the same model name GSB 18 V-EC for this drill as the old brushless compact drill it replaces. The new drill has a metal chuck vs. plastic on the old one. The new model also has KickBack Control as mentioned, unlike the old model. The new model is also shorter ans I< beleive it has higher torque specs too,
Keeping the same model name for a new generation is only going to cause confusion and some might end up ordering the wrong model online because you just check the model name and not being aware of two different models sharing the same name.

Pictures of the new Bosch EneRacer GBA 18V 6.3 Ah battery pack that use 20700 cells instead of the usual 18650 cells, just like the Metabo LiHD battery packs.
Dimensions:
18650 cells: diameter 18 mm; length 65 mm.
20700 cells: diameter 20 mm; length 70 mm.
Tesla will also switch from 18650 cells to 20700 cells for the upcoming Model 3.

Official RYOBI response to their Li-Ion battery
in Power Tools
Posted
I was talking about the Ryobi naming, and it doesn't stand for Brushed Percussion Drill, since it's a brushless drill. It even says BL motor on the side, where the DeWalt says XR.
But I think you are right about P for Percussion.
It turns out all the Ryobi cordless tools starts with a B, both brushless and brushed. So it probably means Battery Percussion Drill.
