Jronman Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 So I talked to a DeWALT support specialist and asked about a Flexvolt Track Saw release date (the North American model) They were unable to tell me a release date. Not sure if they just didn't know or were trying to keep it a secret. Rumors were it might be released in April. I also asked about dates for DeWALT's big June event and they told me they have multiple events planned throughout the year. They neither confirmed a June event nor divulged any dates for future events. Quote
JimboS1ice Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 I'd imagine q3 for the track sawSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Bremon Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 Late year is what I've heard for track saw and that the June event this year is a Stanley one. Quote

Just a word of advice, anyone you ever talk to on a phone for any company literally knows about half as much as anyone that's doing independent research like you'll find by searching review sites and web forums like this one. Employees that are employed to speak on behalf of the employer are always in the dark. 3 Quote

I hope there is a big event this year for DeWALT. Replacing it with a Stanley one would be disappointing to all the DeWALT guys. I'm sure it would be a good event just not a DeWALT event haha. 1 Quote

Jronman Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Posted March 14, 2017 At the very least we should expect some kind of event for the new tool connect stuff. Quote
Bremon Posted March 14, 2017 Report Posted March 14, 2017 Lots of stuff just gets a press release, or shown off at other expos like STAFDA or World of Concrete for example. Milwaukee is usually the one with dedicated shows and even they have plenty of press releases throughout the year. Quote

I wonder what Stanley has in the works if it is getting the big event this year. I could even see SB&D dedicating the big event to the recent company purchases like Lenox, Irwin, and Craftsman. Quote
Bremon Posted March 14, 2017 Report Posted March 14, 2017 Exactly. I thought it was an annual thing but it was because they had 3ish years of R&D finally coming to fruition. Plus they were able to take a dump on NPS, which is usually a highlight of the year. Quote

If Milwaukee doesn't release a one key enabled battery this year I think tool connect might have a slight edge over one key especially with a vac in the works. Quote
Bremon Posted March 14, 2017 Report Posted March 14, 2017 All the recent batteries have one key symbols. Over half my M18 batteries have it. I'd be shocked if it isn't just a matter of updating the app. Quote

Bremon Posted March 14, 2017 Report Posted March 14, 2017 No idea. Could be as simple as pressing the battery indicator button multiple times or something? Or maybe a "one key charger" or something could be required. Just theorizing lol. Quote

Just theorizing lol. not sure how much the tool and battery talk but could be something as simple as connecting the battery to a one key tool to set it up. Then it would be good to use on any tool. 1 Quote

Lol so help me if it's a big disappointment Quote
