Hugh Jass Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 A grinder with a standard lock-on design. As much as I like Dewalt I think their grinder in unwieldy and cumbersome, especially in the tight spots are smaller more precise guts that I use a cordless grinder for. Every other brand Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch, HItachi, Hilti... puts out a more compact cordless which you can use with one hand or change your grip if required to get into a tight spot, Dewalt makes an unwieldy behemoth of a grinder that really limits the ways it can be held and used and isnt even particularly powerful. It is one of the only 20V max tools i refuse to buy. Thats my rant lol;) But seriously, please Dewalt put out a standard grinder design. If its so dangerous why can you make a much more powerfull corded grinders in the standard small grinder configuration I would buy one tomorrow I disagree. I love the grinder, but a brushless upgrade is definitely needed to support battery life. Anywhere it doesn't go, I use a oscillating multi tool instead.

jeffmcmillan Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I can't stand the Dewalt grinder style. The only way to do a one handed cut is to lock the trigger on with a rubber band and hold it by the auxiliary handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcarnes911 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I would like to see a portable 20v table saw Nothing huge just something big enough to cut doors and plywood and a 20v router would be greatSent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasty Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 How about an air compressor that runs off of 20v rechargeable battery? Not for air tools but for car and bike tires, inflatable toys. Bonus points if I can use a blow gun with it.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercorarius Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 3/8 brushless impact wrench would be nice along with a right angle impact wrench. Definitely a +1 on the brushless saws and grinders. Love my yellow one but I might have to pick up a fuel if they don't get with the program.

Right now I've been using that same driver with a 3/8 adaptor as my small impact since I really do still have to have a drill and there's not enough power. It makes 125 ft/lbs iirc (152 ish ft/lbs for gen 2) and the actual impact wrench brushed is 150ftlbs 1/2 compqct, 130 for the 3/8, 200 for the one they made for Mac tools, and then Milwaukees fuels are astep above all that. I'd like to see a step above Milwaukee because that 125 ft lbs doesn't work on a lot of fasteners but the small size can get in where the big gun can't. IMHO I think that 250 ft lbs would be just about right.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtorres092382 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I don't see how I initially missed the video, but I just watched Dan and Eric's review if the B&D 20v glue gun and would love to see something like that in conjunction with the caulk gun already mentioned.

dwain Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 i doubt there will be a full-size hammer drill update this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashishift Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I would like to see the expansion of the 12v line, and also the T-Stak stuff. Feel like those 2 product lines got put out, then left out to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchyspanner Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 when the dewalt 12v line came out i was all over it, ive now sold it and gone m12 fuel due to the dewalt line not moving forward. shame as the dewalt grip is like a glove. as for new tools id love a powerful brushless angle drill/ hole hawg, a cooling fan, table top tile saw and maybe batts like the black and deka with a usb port in the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a regular do it yourselfer and was confused on what the benefits could possibly be. Thanks for the welcome Really the only place i see those batterys being any real use is in a metal shops or somthing were you work with the same materials every day. For the torque and speed settings and stuff like that on the plus one. I really have no use for it on a job site. They would slow down production more than helping. That's what I've seen and think. Other people mite disagree. Millerz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
