chadlanthier Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Wondering when the new cart for the tstak is going to make an appearance. I saw it over at toolskool, and really want the new dewalt tstak cart with the dolly handle. Just makes more sense than the first cart that came out, seemed like an after thought.

Gatorb888 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 It should be out in April. In case anyone is wondering what cart, it's the one found at the end of this video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I will say that is one area Milwaukee has really ignored for the most part right now is the rise of modular tool storage solutions. I know Dan dropped some rumors awhile back that they are working on it which is nice too hear, but when is it going to be released is another story. Dewalt has two, Bosch has the Lboxes, Festool has systainers, and I heard Metabo has a solution out now . The only ones that are left out right now is Makita, Milwaukee, Ridigid, and Hitachi. I'm trying to compare tool companies at a pro level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I would love to see more manufacturers include stackable cases with the tools like Bosch and Festool do. I believe Dewalt has packaged some of their tools in modular storage cases in the UK, but I haven't heard if they plan to do that here. Makita actually has stackable boxes, but they aren't available in the states either. http://www.makita.fi/makpac.html. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 You learn something new every day I had no idea Makita offered something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Milwaukee's behind on a bunch of stuff. Hand tool line is good but nowhere close to dewalt and they're accessories are seriously lacking. Their power tools have some serious gaps like many wood working tools.

DR99 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Milwaukee is strange like that they sell routers, but don't sell a table saw. They sell a miter saw but no pneumatic nailers or even cordless ones now. I know Milwaukee suffered some serious neglect during the Atlas Copco era. They were not getting enough r&d money back then to compete with the emergence of Dewalt as serious power tool brand when they acquired Elu for the cordless tool line. You also has Bosch and Makita and Porter Cable competing in the pro tool market back then. TTI really turned Milwaukee around into a serious player in cordless power tool market they really haven't updated the corded tool lineup in awhile though, but they really don't need too they are all pretty solid performers nothing has really changed with corded tools some corded tools are getting brushless motors too but its only a few tools.

Conductor562 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Great info Gator. Always glad to have you around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I wonder when Milwaukee will release fuel corded tools? I think that would really separate them from the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think that stack-able cases are great for a shop but on a job site I like the Dewalt Tough Box it is easier to manage 1 larger box the a bunch of smaller boxes.
