cashishift Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 They need to come out with a mini sawzall and some of the same tools that Milwaukee has come out with. The USB charger deal would be awesome.. along with a 12v cut out saw.. like they have in the 18v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madtec Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 But, will you buy it....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkfan23 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 The 12v line is pretty cool, but why do the same as the Red Guys? How about a better version of that makita mini circ? That could be cool!! Or how about a jig saw for small jobs? A radio with a magnet on it like the new tough cases perhaps?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolGeek Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Jobsite testing is where cool, and reality separate. In order to spin a profit, tools have to make sense. I would bet Milwaukee has dumped more money into a most of their specialty 12v tools than they have seen come back. I could be wrong, but honestly.... from Concept to Conception, how many people really purchased the heated jacket? I'd say a bust! Sure it's a cool idea, but it won't be around long. That's what upset's people, buy something today.... can't get part's for it tomorrow. The Milwaukee V-18 line is the perfect example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkfan23 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 You may want to check your source on that heated jacket- it has sold well above projections from what I heard! They are a hit, not a bust. Would have thought you'd have known that, working for DeWalt and all. V18- definately was not the best set of tools out there, but they at least focus on getting better and mot resting on their laurels. Between them and Makita, they lead in the inovation catagory fo sho!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolGeek Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I mentioned the word "bet" not exactly science. Also projections don't equal profit, by definition it could be summed up as merely hope. I did however say it was a cool idea..... so was that invention for the sucker that was motorized aka "spin pop:. Made millions for the inventor, but how "cool" is it today? A one hit wonder, that's all I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmccarty Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 forgive me, I'm no business person but wouldn't a company have a small profit built-in to their initial projections for a project? To exceed those projections would only make said project more profitable? and could you tell me, what is the point of having the screen on the inspection scope wireless?

kanxrus Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Unless someone from Milwaukee actually post's real sales data on this site for a jacket no one really cares about, then I see this argument as silly. As far as the removable screen goes, it was most likely asked for during R&D aka..... job-site testing. Dewalt would not go to the trouble, nor add the extra expense involved, if it was not asked for, or viewed as a valuable tool to increase job site productivity. I personally think it's a fantastic idea, especially if two people are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkfan23 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hey, guys- just noticed in lowes today that bosch has a 2 spd pocket driver- is there any hopes of getting the 12v max to have the same (lower spd but more torque) or does it really even matter? They do not have the sweet l.e.d's like the 12v max though. on a seperate note- will we see a longer running pack for the 12v soon- would be cool to have 1 for not so tight spaces and everyday work- I'm starting to really favor the small guys lately, but want to know if i should wait for a big pack or not. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Who is coming out with a longer running 12v? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkfan23 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Sorry, not clear i guess- like an XRP "big pack". longer runtime and maybe a boosted power? Kinda like the DeWalt 18v compact lithium and the XRP lithium...make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 It would certainly make sense, but I have heard nothing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Nah, The batt's are just fine just the way they are, drills have more than enough power, why add more weight? 3 batt's are all you need all day at best. You are better off settling on the compact 18v once you start think'n more power,longer batt life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadhog96 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 What is the maximum charge for the 12V Max batteries? Do they charge to 12V or 14V? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Lithium charges to a "Peak" charge, then dissipates to a nominal charge, and continues to drop slightly until a re-charge is needed. Hot off the charger each cell should be around 4-4.2v depending on cell manufacture. When the cells drop to nominal, they should run between 3.6-3.7v per cell. That is why the MAX as a Asterisk by it (12v MAX*) The asterisk indicates that this is a Peak voltage, and not the nominal voltage. 4-4.2v peak off the charger should read 12-12.6v. 3.6-3.7v nominal at the end of the cycle life should read 10.8-11.1v. There are alway's variables, so reading's could be higher or lower on either spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ztd Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Spoke with a DeWalt rep for Lowes yesterday. No extended 12 V MAX battery packs planned. No 12 V MAX 2nd generation tools in 2011 No 18/20 V XR Tools till Fall 2011 at the earliest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
