DR99 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I was wondering what was going on with the story of that tool. It was only on sale for a short period of time got horrible reviews and Dewalt silently recalled them a short time later. They had on their page that there was going to be an updated model for 2014 well it looks like they have just nuked the product or will try again later if they can resolve the problems. http://www.dewalt.com/tools-discontinued/cordless-instruments-radar-scanning-dct418s1.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I only saw a few reviews where they mentioned that it worked. I don't know if they were gamed reviews, they were done on simple walls with the best conditions to get it to read everything, or they got units that worked correctly. I really wonder which one of those choices is what really happened. I'm going to go with the few good reviews were gamed not even by SBD it could just be the really hard core Dewalt fans. Every brand makes a bum tool every so often. I know one guy that posted here had zero luck with the Milwaukee M12 hammervac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I commend Dewalt for doing the right thing, and it isn't like the Milwaukee is spectacular.TBB really goofed when they named it a "tool of the year". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
