framer Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Hi I know this fall the successor of the DW718 / DW718 XPS will hit the market; not much details known yet; in approx. 2-3 weeks I should have some pictures; regards cant wait....
Madtec Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Pics should not be available until the official release date is confirmed and authorized by DeWalt. Just be careful if any unauthorized images is posted and we certainly do not want the hammer to fall on this site and DeWalt to not renew the lic agreement. Don't get me wrong, i am all for getting some sneak peek on what's coming out, just be sure it is not something too sensitive
kanxrus Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 I will pull down anything not authorized, or pre-launched by DEWALT!!!!!!!!
Mr. Yellow Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 Looking at a picture with the new 18v circular saw, I wondered....why do circular saws in the EU have the handle behind the blade and US saws have the handle in front of the blade... (looking at it while holding in left hand) Just out of curiosity. I'm a lefty so the EU models suit me well 8)
Mr. Yellow Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Europe will get a new laser distance measurer. No big update though. Just going from 30m to 40m range. It's the DW040P. Same case, same look. A national magazine tested several laser distance measurers. The DeWalt (DW030P) came out as one of the cheapest, with minimal funcions, but with the best durability for jobsite toughness. I learned most measurers are the same on the inside. All made by Leica. And I noticed on the UK website there's a survey for a collated screwgun. That's up my alley. Let's see what this will bring (or not)
kjones Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Got the DW030, it is a blast to use I just got mine a few days ago, and am still playing with it. Definitely a cool tool! Coolest new tool to my collection however is the D25980K that I picked up today! I will probably never get to use it myself (it is a demo tool, and honestly I don't demo concrete all that often!) but anytime you get to have a tool like that in the garage is sweet!
midogrumpy Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 wait til you see the dw088 ! I´ll keep you posted
Mr. Yellow Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 I got the DW030P also. First I had a Stanley. Although it worked well I didn't like the buttons. I passed it to my brother and got me the DeWalt instead. But wait....what....DW088.... ?? All I know is that this modelnumber is in the range of laser tools.... You guys know too much (or I am too curious)
Mr. Yellow Posted May 2, 2011 Report Posted May 2, 2011 Pffff. Not really news, but I discovered DeWalt has discontinued all pneumatic tools (nailers) in Europe. Well, here's hoping they don't give up on the cordless nailers...
Madtec Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 Pffff. Not really news, but I discovered DeWalt has discontinued all pneumatic tools (nailers) in Europe. Well, here's hoping they don't give up on the cordless nailers... Discontinue the cordless nailer? Not a chance, cant wait to get my hands on the next gen version, had the current 18v one but i gave it to my dad, now all i have is the 14.4v version. I used the 18v one to shoot at drivers who cut me off on the highway...........
Mr. Yellow Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 I meant EU. US will certainly keep the nailers as they use more woodwork/framing in construction. The end user rep also told me that the cordless nailers will stay, but all air tools are discontinued. Looking forward to next gen. Any idea if they will come this year?
Bingobelle Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 For what I know air nailers is much more efficient so why do Dewalt stop making them. My carpenter friend have a MAX air screwnailer and it is very nice. You do not have to push so hard against the wall.
Madtec Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 This is because of the merger with Stanley, so i think they will focus on one brand for the pneumatic nailers which would be bostitch. I wont be surprised that to see some new stuff from them
Mr. Yellow Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 Ah true. I never thought of that. Bostitch is all about nailers and everything associated. Also learned today from Toolstop (UK) that they expect delivery of the new 18v XR line in early June. That's just a month away. Press release shouldn't be too far away now I guess.... They also mentioned there are a few new special tools they can't talk about yet... wonder what this is....
cyclone700 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if the nailers go the same route some of these new Dewalt handtools have. Just badge engineering. I would expect to see Dewalt brand Bostich pneumatic nailers at some point.
kanxrus Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 From what I've seen, 90% of the DEWALT hand tools are unique from the Stanley FATMAX line, in one aspect or another.
Mr. Yellow Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Stores are slowly getting ready. It seems that in the first week of June they will receive delivery of the new XR tools. A certain UK store already has pics and prices up. Some interesting things...
kanxrus Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Looks like they are already getting prepped for the Pre-Launch online. Already pictures, combo kits, and batteries. Battery Combo Kit All Dewalt Listings Looks like a lot of great stuff!
Mr. Yellow Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 Keep an eye out on Toolstop's YouTube channel. They are currently at the DeWALT/Stanley training centre in the UK to test new stuff. Here's a little teaser... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbqiuIYF9Es
Madtec Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 Looks like they are already getting prepped for the Pre-Launch online. Already pictures, combo kits, and batteries. Battery Combo Kit All Dewalt Listings Looks like a lot of great stuff! Now lets see who is the first to get there hands on these
Mr. Yellow Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 The new hamer drill looks serious business. Madtec, spill the beans on the 36v update... is it gonna be a big update or "just" some additional tools.
