  1. 1) I think Festool is going to make a big push into the cordless market, eg cordless sanders, track saw, routers, maybe even a domino.

     

    2) We will see Milwaukee and DeWalt really pushing their made in the USA lines more than ever, and hopefully expanding on them.

     

    3)  We may see advancements in battery tech such as solid sulfur-lithium or nanoporous li-ion.

     

    4) Dewalt will put out a tool that is better than Milwaukee. Chase and Conductor will say "Well sure they had x years of catch up! Milwaukees new one is going to be better "

     

    5) Milwaukee will put out a tool that beats the Dewalt tool from #4. Chase and Conductor will say "Haha told you so!"

     

    6) Craftsman will continue their gimmicky "innovation" and release a full line-up of hand and power tools for lefties.

     

    7) Milwaukee will announce the m12 riveter to come out in August. Then scrap the release due to lack of interest. :-o

     

    Can I see the commericials now, LOL

  2. Diablo by Frued is a Home Depot exclusive(in terms of Retailers/Big Box stores) Just an FYI the presents of Bosch will be expanding in Home Depot as well. All Bosch Daredevil Paddle Bits will be exclusive to Home Depot(they were available at Menards, but are being pulled from their stores).

  3. I'm sure when they can get the costs down we might see it happen, or they might only include compact batteries or 1 of each capacity. Ryobi stopped including fullsize battery packs in all of their power tool sets. You can only buy them individually now. People like to buy into a system with big combo kit's.

     

     

    Wow, I didn't even notice that the Six piece Ryobi Super combo only has 2.0 amp batteries.

  4. They need to give an award to the person that invented yoga pants and to the person that made them popular in ladies fashion. Your one lucky man Harold it's warm all the time where you are here up in Michigan we won't see anything sexy till spring it's sweat pants winter coats and jeans. :/

    I don't know, I go to Grand Valley and I am pretty sure girls wear em year around:D

  5. I've never used the Daredevils, but I've got the Freud blades on just about every saw I own and they are fantastic. The Avanti blades are ok, but nothing like the Diablo's.

    As information, Dewalt OEM blades are made by Avanti which is also owned by Freud.

     

    Yeah, I always thought that the Dewalt blades that come in the saws we sell looked very similar to the Avanti blades.

  6. I've been watching for the door knob kit at HD. Haven't found it yet :(

     

    I got mine out of my overhead about 2 weeks ago(Not waiting for my vendor to do it) Its $35 bucks. When holding it, there is a decent difference in the weight compared to the Dewalt one we use to sell(which is being clearanced out starting at around $20
