Who's getting the 20V Max adapter for their old 18V tools?

Who's going to pickup the 20V adapter when they come out.

 

I'm thinking about it, I have a drill and a circular saw that are still in good shape.

 

Get the adapter and use the batteries from my new drill and have a great spare for projects when you talk you buddy into coming over to help out.

You might want to check if your tool is compatible before you buy it. Some tools are not working like the cordless nail guns.

18v Tools that won't accept the adapter:

 

  • Nailers
  • Radios 
  • Chargers
  • DC020 & DC022 Lights
  • Generators
  • Vac & Lasers (will work but the doors won't close)
  • Earlier model 18v band saws (don't have a date code yet)
  • Like 1

I just saw the Tia video on this. I'd get it if I had the 18v tools but....I don't. I think it's totally worth it though. Awesome innovation from what was arguably a big mistake from Dewalt. Those guys are picking up and helping their customers out with this one!

Might be worth it just because of how many 18v tools that are laying around gathering dust in people's garages that you could get for free/dirt cheap

These don't work with any 20v battery right?

Yea I think only the 2.0s, I don't think any of the higher ah packs work by don't quote me.

Do you guys know what the XRP was running for Ah on their old Nicad?

I think I've seen that, maybe the tool can only handle a single row of lithium batteries, I would imagine has something to do with electronics and over load.

That's what I'm wondering Jimbo, if what you said is correct it might simply be the electronics in the older tools might not be able to handle the higher Amps?

Probably don't have the ability to limit the draw on the battery and prevent overload of the tool.

You can usually pick up the older tools pretty cheap too, they had the xrp circular saw for 60 bucks at HD for a while to clear out their stock.
