jevink Posted October 3, 2012 Report Posted October 3, 2012 So we have the dc212, and I have had many of them over the years and love the drill....But WHY has dewalt NEVER released a dc213 with the chipping function in the USA?? I know they put out the 20V DCH213 which has it but I'm trying to keep it all 18 Lithium in my set.
tooljoe Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 i am not an expert but i believe is due to the fact that not all places are the same... for example, i read that in some places they cannot use nails to frame house just screws - mandatory. so just base on that alone i am guessing is it more sought after where it is released first. imo. the only place here in the usa where i have used one is to lay metal studs and hand HVAC duct works. i could have also used once of those guns (i'm not an expert in this field) that shoot concrete/masonry nails but it was easier to use the hammer drill for me.
jevink Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Posted October 8, 2012 I just got ahold of one actually. I have a dc212 and 213 now! Same looking tool, just now have a cordless chipper option! both made in Czech rep. Why cant they just send both to USA when exporting and make things easy(and cheaper for me!) Now if I can only find the dc527 area light with the lithium base I will be set.
