Most of the new tools have just been test and measurement Yay! I'd like to see some more stuff come out outside of lasers, I have a couple of Bosch ones I use and don't need any more.

They have the new lasers but I haven't heard anything else. No new tools coming out for a while now. I thought the new lasers were just 20V. Are there 12V ones too? Dewalt never really ends lines seeing as they still produce and actively advertises 18V nicad tools (yes nicad not even the nanolithium update), but removing 12V support from new chargers is a pretty definitive move towards deprecating the line.

Hey Jeff, yup a few of them including this one... http://www.acmetools.com/shop/tools/dewalt-dw088lg?cm_mmc=Google-_-PRODUCTFEED-_-DEWALT-_-DW088LG&CAWELAID=600009240000728227&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=43205429411&CATCI=aud-72848052701:pla-87320577941&catargetid=600009240005328124&cadevice=m&gclid=Cj0KEQiAhs3DBRDmu-rVkuif0N8BEiQAWuUJr5ShMuX8IlI-5IwNh4fwy2FxNiAHoqEY9MozDe-z3VgaAo5m8P8HAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Also remember the DCB101/102/103 and 119 are still 12v it seems the chargers that are cross compatible with the 60v line don't include the 12v port. Maybe too much juice for the higher cap batteries and the little guys can't take it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
