I accidentally stumbled upon this today. Doesn’t look like it out yet and ToolNut is the only site i see it on.
Interesting find
I’m not sure about the $300 price point, but this would be an interesting addition to my MetaboHPT tools if I ever find one on clearance. I like the MultiVolt system and bought the AC adapter a while back for use with my circular saw and drill. While I try to stay cordless for 99% of projects, having the option of going corded (if the job is really demanding or the 2-3 MultiVolt batteries I own are depleted) is a definite plus. My Ridgid cordless compressor has come in handy a number of times, but it goes through 4Ah batteries rather quickly.
I actually think the price is reasonable considering that it can be used both corded and cordless. Hopefully it is fairly quiet. Looks like it will start shipping in June according to Acme Tools.
I’ve got the Rolair ultra quiet and it looks like the HPT has the same muffler on it so I bet it’ll be really quiet!
