Does anyone else know what other 8v tools DeWalt will be offering?
Haven’t heard a word
I’d be more apt to spring for that gyroscopic driver but not til I know what else is coming out.
You probably already know this but in case you don’t they recently announced an led work light for the 8v platform.
I don’t think the 8v platform is ever going to be huge I think its going to be things like the screwdriver and diagnostic tools like electrical meters and such.
8v is good for some people but of no use to me specialy with the charge time but its still nice to have more option for the application and/or budget you have
The 8V line gives Dewalt a way to sufficiently power low voltage specialty tools, meters, etc., without being restricted to the bulk and awkwardness of the 12V slide pack.
I also bet it saves on cost too. I bet the 8v packs are cheaper to build.
Don’t get too exited about that giro driver its a pile of crap guys sorry but it is a gimmicky waste of your hard earned money. 🙁
