NERemodeling Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Today, I saw with my own eyes, in person, proof of new tools coming from Makita by the end of the yearNOVEMBER:5.0ah batteries2 port battery charger. http://professional-power-tool-guide.com/power-tool-forum/index.php?/topic/4914-two-port-multi-fast-charger-dc18rd/ (Charges 2 batteries in the same ti.e it currently takes to charge 1) BRUSHLESS 6.5" circular saw!!!! http://toolguyd.com/makita-brushless-circular-saw/ (European model DHS680, ours won't be same model number) I don't even think it's avaliable in Europe/overseas yet!! DECEMBEROil impulse driver. http://toolguyd.com/makita-18v-oil-pulse-impact-driver/There was some other random stuff but just small consumable things.. I didn't pay much attention to itUnfortunately no mention of the brushless jigsaws or new dtd148 impact This is some great news for us makita fans!!

BIGBEARJT Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 sounds good, ive been tempted to jump on the new brushless kits, even though i dont need them, those kits come with the 4.0 ah battery, but the deals are almost too tempting to pass up. even the the older 3.0 ah batteries are going dirt cheap right now. a sign of new stuff to come soon.

ChrisK Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I might.....MIGHT....be interested in the brushless saw. To this day my favorite cordless circular saw was my Makita. Light and easy to use. Still...it's going to be a hard choice between that and the Fuel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Man with that rafter hook it looks so much like a copy of the Milwaukee fuel circular saw. I know its just that every circular saw pretty much looks the same anyways besides color. Does Dewalt still have two different 20v max circular saws. When they launched if you got the tool in a kit you got a staped steel shoe over magnesium, and the recp didn't have an adjustable shoe and possibly the 4 way blade holder. I'm not 100% on the blade holder though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I'll probably go red though. I mean cmon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NERemodeling Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Nice find!! I've been checking their new product page but never thought to look at the press releaseslooks like things are pushed about a month back from what I saw. The exciting news is the XDT09. I'm betting it's the DTD148!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
