So I spoke with a rep late last week about upcoming tools as my company is considering buying into a new battery lines. Thought I would pass along the gossip that they let loose and see what the insiders here had to say... or not say.... I asked about bout the next version of the power station (since we bought recently- must be time for a new mode!). The reps (4) said that there is NOT a new version coming any time soon and they stopped Developement on a multi-output outlet design. 4 port fast charger only this summer/fall. New version with minor changes to framing nailer. More tough system options- but they didn’t have a cooler with them so they could have been referencing this. Battery powered full size shop vac, they didn’t know any details (even voltage). Bigger blade concrete saw, timing unknown. More lighting options. 12 AH kits Accessories “out the wazoo” (not sure how to spell that last one...) At least one “Big surprise”. Honestly it it seemed like they were trying to make it seem like they have exciting stuff coming but seemed underwhelmed themselves.

Anyone notice the noise of this saw? I tried the 20v miter the other day for the first time and it is almost a squeal when it cuts. It is louder than most saws. Hopefully DeWALT can fix this problem with the brushless version.

I har the same issue the 20v batterys were kind of weak I put the 6ah flex in there it went thru better and I tried the 9ah flex and wow it was like a hot knife in butter

The 20v max 7-1/4 in miter is brushed but the Flexvolt 12 in fixed and 12 in slider are brushless.
