Dewalt 12 Volt

[aabee]

I used to work at Lowe's in hardware and tools as recently as last Summer, and we had a DeWalt rep come in during December of 2015. I mentioned to him how much I loved DeWalt's 12v power tools and told him a move to brushless would be perfect, and he mentioned that they weren't moving forward with new products when asked. I've asked DeWalt's Facebook page the same thing (any new 12v products?) and they've told me there's nothing new planned but the 12v tools are still on the market (well duh). It really makes me wonder why they ever bothered with this line in the first place. It makes more sense to support/advance the compact 12v line than it does the 40v line since DeWalt already has OPE for both 20v and FlexVolt to boot. I even sold a 12v drill to a woman looking for something lightweight since she had carpal tunnel.
