Where's all the tool hype for June ?

[Framer joe]

By this time last year I was out of my mind with excitement over the ..Worlds First event by Dewalt......do I have my time frame mixed up? Did I miss a new topic ? Tools in action guys have said nothing......I can't find any news about New tools......No one on here has said anything to watch for........

 

Where is all the media , where's the hype ?? Or I'm I just new to this forum and last year was a fluke event.....I mean I was literally BLOWN AWAY last year.....trying to find every video outlet I could watch....I couldn't even work.....

 

Where's the BEEF ?   (gotta be older to know that expression)

[Moze]

I'm jonesing for info on the DCN890 concrete/steel gun...

[Framer joe]

No snit like a Hilti? Shoots nails into Crete and steel ?

[Bremon]

This year is a Stanley focused event I believe. And yes, there's a bit of info about the concrete nailer floating around, but it's apparently a decent ways out yet. Glad Dewalt is so committed to their nailer lineup though. 

[Framer joe]

That nailer will be expensive if it's like Hilti ...but I'll get one quick and sell the Hilti.....glad to see the nailer expansion like B man said......why would Dewalt be all about Stanley and hammer home the Flexvolt and 20v max line.....crazy

[Bremon]

My understanding is all brands will still be showcased but Stanley gets the hype while Dewalt was in the limelight last year for obvious reasons. 

[Framer joe]

I'm sure you've been on the forum for a while @Bremon so your probably used to different levels of excitement for tool shows ....but just joining in November with that ...."worlds first " being my first event ....it would be very disappointing if the same level of excitement and tools revealed didn't happen....I've only been cordless since 20v max came out......I always carried a generator.....never got into 18v Ryobi or any brand ,, just not powerful enough then....

 

I hope it's a kick ass reveal of cordless tools....because nobody I know wants Stanley BD anything...

[Bremon]

I wasn't even excited for Dewalt's "world's first" event because their events and releases had been so uninspired for so long. FlexVolt changed all that lol. I have 4-5k in yellow tools purchased after that media event last year ?

That's Canadian money so it roughly translates to what $500 US. Lolololol.... Just poking fun.

[Bremon]

Largest lineup of cordless nailers seems like. Hard to complain with that except when other tools are becoming needing of an update/long in the tooth. 

[Framer joe]

I'll hope for the best.....love to see a new power station gen 2...

[jkeating3]

 

Saw this on Twitter. I am hoping it's not just introducing DeWalt Connected tools. We already know about those...

[Jronman]

I could see them surprising us again like they did last year with flexvolt. 

[Bremon]

Took them 3-4 years of sadness to finally get a good surprise so...I'm not holding my breath but I'll be happy if they do. 

[npcnj8]

I want to see a new 20-volt miter saw dual bevel brushless

Here's a pic of the 890.

The internet of things. JHC. So now our power tools can contribute to DDOS attacks on websites etc? ? 

[Framer joe]

Wow is that a bad direction to head down......I know none of the builders will buy into that crap.....just give us tools ...lots of tools on the same platform....framers will not stop to program a tool,just give me ...more POWA.......R and D more tools.....

 .........is that 890 just battery into steel and concrete or is a gun shell used like Hilti??
