Several new releases coming, this one looks epic! 5.8 Joules from an sds plus!

Will be interesting to see how the new carbide recip blades compare to Milwaukee and Diablo. Doesn’t look like the US will be getting the new blades.
I’d be surprised if you didn’t get them, such a huge market makes it easier to quickly recoup any R&D costs.

**Diablo is owned by Bosch

That may be true but doesn’t mean the place that sells Bosch blades will sell Diablo.
Thanks for sharing.
I’ve got that Beast sds plus!
Things I don’t like; you can’t turn the hammer action off, you have to swap over to the supplied standard chuck which is supposed to shutoff the hammer action, but it doesn’t seem to turn it off, you can still feel it hammering inside. And that’s about it for negatives.
Otherwise, this beast is epic! Only had a few goes with it, but certainly seems to pack a punch!
She’s a thirsty one too! I was chasing a channel into a 3″ screed, she chomped through a 12.0 in fairly short order. However, I don’t care because I’ve now bought the big 16 Amp charger!
I heard the Diablo line of circular sawblades was occasionally throwing carbide teeth. Wonder if the recip blades will hold up?
I’ve now added the 150nm combi drill to the inventory. A quick go with a 32mm (1 1/4″) self feed auger and it’s a beast! The 110nm struggles with that bit, but this just blows through 2″ timber! It’s a GSB 18V 150.

Also added the big cordless sds max, 12.5 joules. Not had a chance to try this yet, but will definitely report back when I do.
