Dewalt really confuses me on this. I wanted to buy a Jigsaw and a circular saw that has the Nano base, but that information is not available any where, can someone list for me the 18V tools that have Nano base?
Thanks.
The Model #’sever changed. However the base did change. When your purchasing either tools, just double check the base on the packaging. The packaging will show you what base it has.
The Circ saw (DC390K) with the Lithium base is easier to spot because it has a rubber grip.

Thanks for the info. Didn’t know that the model # stays the same.
Also do they make a Lithium base model for DW934 (18V Cordless Metal Cutting Circular Saw Kit)?
For the jigsaw, am I right on the base here?

You are correct. If you currently own any NiCd base you can go to DewaltServiceNet and order in a lithium base clamshell and update your cordless tool yourself. Or you can can have your local service center do it.
I edited the original post to add this question, but you’re faster than I am

I don’t believe so. Dewalt will more than likely make the change in the future.
