kornomaniac Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Brushless jigsaws have bene out here for a few months. In all honestly they are ALOT better then any previous brushed cordless models. Dewalt's / Bosch's do not compare really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I used lots of Makita tools back in Germany when i helped a friend's business start up. Now im here in the states and i have mainly bosch. Here and there some dewalt accessories; milwaukee impactor from TIA, maybe i get more red stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK13 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I believe that the 18V (lithium ion) in Ireland (and the rest of the world for that matter) is the same as the 20V max here in the US.. "20v max" is just marketing to target dumb Americans, haha, its actually just 18v like everything else. so unless he has the older stem style 18v batteries (non slide pack) then he has dewalts most current line. Yeah, I knew that, but my post was getting long and wordy already, and I have a hard enough time paying attention when I'm writing stuff, I can only imagine how boring it is for someone else to read. :oops: What I was trying to ask is if the stem packs were still big there or if the slide packs had taken over 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan m Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 some people still have the older style batteries and there were sets still for sale up to 2years ago if not closer. you can still buy the finish nailer with the older batterieswhen the new style came in the older style petered away. you can still buy the batteries but they are too expensive. more than the new style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan m Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I was talking with my dealer yesterday. he says dewalt have no plans to have a cordless sander and planer. that's what the rep told him.he said the nail gun will be here in august . so happy days looks like I can start creating a Makita line upfirst up would be the 36volt saw. then the sander and planerhopefully when the slack start of the year is over I can buy all before me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 You'll be happy with those tools =) The makita 36V is probably the most interesting cordless saw available on the market today.Planer is a nice piee of kit !Sander is a more unique cordless tool you won't find that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
