Tools you’d love to see but probably won’t

So I’m in the market for a new drill press and left me wondering why Dewalt hasn’t made one. That got me thinking what other tools I’d like for them to release but probably won’t. So for conversation sake I’ll start with my list:

Bench top or stand along drill press

Spindle sander

Jointer

Drum Sander

Cordless biscuit jointer

These could very well be coming down the pipeline but I just don’t see dewalt coming out with the stationary tools (a concept I don’t understand because I feel like their lunchbox planer is amazing).

So what would you guys love to see in Dewalt’s R&D department?

I’ll bite! My wish list would be:

– 18V T50 Stapler (based on form factor to new cable-stapler)

– 18V Hot Glue Gun

– 54V Belt Sander

– 18V (54V?) Heat Gun

– 54V Capsule Coffee Machine (Why not?)

– 54V (Tstak) Active Drinks Cooler

– 54V Oscillating Fan (bigger form factor than current 18V fans – which I love)

– 18V detail sander

– 54V ‘Brompton style’ folding bike. 

@Big Adam T50 stapler Great Idea 💡 👍🏻 

1. Compact 1/2″ brushless impact wrench.  I would have thought we would see this year’s ago but for some reason dewalt decided to bow out to milwaukee in this category.

2.  60v metal cutting circular saw 8″ish blade.  I’ve used a milwaukee corded 8″ for years and the thing is an animal.  Recently we started using the m18 fuel 5 3/8″ and while they are impressive with what they can cut I think dewalt would have a winner with 60v power.  I’d love to see this but I don’t know how big the market is.

Belt sander is definitely on my wish list too! Forgive my ignorance but what’s a detail sander?

Sander that takes standard ‘pointed’ hook-loop pads. Essentially, a one-handed, more refined, less tiring option than using the current multi tool triangle  adapter.

Ryobi’s version looks like this:

Toughsystem Radio (Update)

54v Belt Sander

I know these will be coming sometime. But who knows when,

The cooling performance of the gen 3 is a downgrade over the gen 2 and the DeWALT.

That’s not a surprise to hear at all. Compactness is great and all and it seems to have been a huge point of emphasis on gen 3, but sometimes I reach for the heavier tool simply because I know it won’t get as hot even though the small tool is perfectly capable.

Those gen 3s might be heating up because of the higher current of the HD batteries too. Don’t know enough about them, but the science would back that up.

It’s pumping out a lot of power In A small frame so it’s bound to happen.

Jointer

Planer

Biscuit jointer

miter saw

Dewalt has a planer and a number of miter saws available, actually

I don’t know why DeWalt won’t get into belt sanders.  I don’t think they even sell a corded one in the USA. 

Roofing nailer would be great but might not happen because roofs get hot and that kills batteries.

Biscuit jointer needs to happen too.. come on DeWalt

I heard a cordless coil nailer was coming in 2019. I would expect more tough system because I know they aren’t done with it yet.

@TrimmerMatt DeWALT has a corded belt sander in the USA but I heard it wasn’t great. 

I see why I never noticed it before.  It is a TANK.  I need a lightweight 3×18 sander.  The Ryobi is about right but I wish DeWalt would make one more compact and lighter with a little more belt speed.  Wishful thinking I guess.

Plenty of YT videos of these Chinese bikes hooked up to cordless drills, but if Dewalt made one with a built in built-in motor + 20V battery mount and pushed ‘em out as a $200 promo, who wouldn’t buy one? Or two?

Probably too many regs for it to happen though.

DeWalt needs to get with the game and make a flexvolt power wheels at least that’s what my kids say

Dewalt 60v Robot Carpenter . Runs 10 hrs on a single charge. Form/Frame/Finish. 3,999.99 

I want Makita to steal Milwaukee’s USB charging idea.
I love that the M12 power supply can charge an M12 battery and serve as a USB power bank.
It’s not a fast charger, but it’s super convenient.

How about real tools?

I have a complete set of dewalt but have to go to Milwaukee for a riveter now they have two styles as dewalt have none, a nine inch grinder would be perfect on the 54v range, a porta power hydraulic pump, & while we are dewalt tough system 2 boxes a big fail!

1. 20v 23ga. pin nailer (surprised Im the only one so far)

2. Upgrade the the concrete vibe to Flexvolt with more power and interchangeable whips 4′ & 8-10′ 

3.  Upgrade the current drywall screw gun to push to drive (like the makita were it isnt actually on until pushed)

4. Upgrade the drywall cut out tool so the main bearing isnt always burning up or make it at least easy to replace.

5. Cordless stick vac (like a dyson but with dewalt battery) no junk please make it good enough to compete with dyson

6. I like the 20v T50 staple gun gun idea too

7. Cordless dry wall saw like the makita

8. better accessories for cordless router (tilt base to be specific)

Thats all off the top of my head.
