Yes, next gen………

i more so meant of anything new and innovative coming up

Again……..next gen

you seem to be enlighted

share a few words;

what is meant with next Gen ?

what expected date : spring ? winter 20111?

in the 18V range ? maybe also a shift to slide-on batteries

more 10,8V (12V max) stuff ? like what kind of tool ?

when is the 18V cordless band saw due

mike

Cordless Bandsaw is due mid year 2011. I think he means next gen… as in 12v drivers. Dewalt tends to launch the latest and greatest mid year. If your to expect anything great from the 18v line, I’d say expect it mid year 2011. Late June’ish.

Would be great to see Leds on all their new 18 and 36v. If they can manage to have 3 leds on their drill well

LED’s you will see, just not three, but it will have a new feature  ;D

hope a 12v or 18v multi-tool is in the works 😉

Maybe  😉

If Dewalt is reading this, it is simple. Just look at Milwaukee and make all the 12v Max tools available!

12V MAX RADIO/CHARGER. I waited and waited since the 12v max line came out for a 12v max radio but i ran out of patiance and got the milwaukee. its perfect for me and alot of people i know but having to carry the charger with it is a MAJOR DRAG. if dewalt comes out with one i will thow my milwaukee in the garbage and get the dewalt right away.

a 12V max multi tool would be cool I am sure thats in the works. I second the radio charger for the 12V max line.

Well with Porter-Cable launching their oscillating tool, Dewalt can’t be far behind!

Too many Oscillating saws are out there already……….

Hello Dewalt. Please make all new tools connectable to vacuum. Left blade regular circular saw with led/laser and vacuum port.  ::)

Today when I was at the wholesaler ( not sure if correct english word ) I talked with the guy that is responsible for the tools. They sell Dewalt, Makita and Hitachi there. He told me that he just before I came in to the shop have talked with Dewalt just mintues ago. They told him that the new 18 v and and I gues 14 v drills will all be partial new. They seems to keep the motors and gearbox but all new case. It will be slide battery like on the 12 v max for better feling and grip.

Personaly I´ve no problem with the stick into battery like on the DCD 970. But maybee if you have small hands that can be an isue. I bought my DCD 970 not even a year ago and they will allready come with a new model!!!

However, the will continue to make the ( old ) kind of battery and for what I understood they will also keep the DCD 970 for a long time. I hope so because I need to buy a DC212KL and of course I want to be able to also use this battery in my drill. I do not want a drill and a concrete hammer drill with two kinds of battery. The swapping posibility is very important to me.

I have seen some of the new tools already and had a chance to test them out; especially the impact and when it was time to give it back……well, from my cold dead hands!!!

So maybee it is more than just cosmetics? Stronger, lighter better? Anyway, I think the DCD970 is so fantastic I will keep it for many years to come. It is to expensive to change drills just because a new model is coming out.

I do not think you can imagine what a drill like the DCD970 cost in Sweden. Nearly 500 euro. I´m not sure about todays value on dollars contra swedish krona but I guess 5000 Swedish krona is about 800 dollars. So I actually take good care of my tools.

Just checked up the dolar. The DCD970 cost today 774 dollar in sweden. How much do you pay in US?

WOW! $139.00 for the bare tool ( no batteries or charger) $329.00 from the local Retailers, $250 range on Amazon.com and Ebay.com.

I met a guy locally once who purchased all of his tools here, and shipped them to the UK. Said it saved him over 50% to buy them here and ship them over.

Any of you guys know if there’s gonna be an update this year to the 36v line of tools?

36v line will still be available; not so much for the 28  🙁

Yeah, I read they discontinued the 28v line. I still don’t get why they put the cordless tracksaw in that line.

a 36v tracksaw would make more sense then.

Anyway, hope to see some updated tools in the 36v line. Maybe some additions… wouldn’t mind an impact driver. 

I heard rumors about a bandsaw in the 36v line, however that was over a year ago.

i’m with you.  maybe also see a radio/charger, vaccum, planer, small miter saw even  ::)

maybe a 12 or 18 v framing nailer.

There are some new tools planned for the 36v line, just need to get definite confirmation from my source

8)  can’t wait

Me too. Although I am in the EU and you guys in the US get all the good stuff long before it ends up here  😉

Wonder if they gonna update the cordless nailers as well. They still have the old base, not the Li-ion.

If this is not an insult to DEWALT enginuity, then I don’t know what is? I don’t want an updated footprint, I want a updated Nailer! Ridgid at least made their’s look different even though it’s a POS.

Ok, I’ll throw in another since I am close to getting a DW718 miter saw 🙂

Is this on the update list or not? In other words, if I buy this now, will I kick myself for not waiting x months for a new version with updated features and whatnot. I have no clue how long the 718 is around already. Doesn’t seem too old.

The DW708 was launched in 1998. It received upgrades/changes along the way up until 2002. In 2005 the DW718 was launched, and has received some changes as well.

I believe Home Depot, and Lowes have a Promotion going on right now…. Buy the DW718 and get the stand for free!

If you jump on that promotion, I would suggest getting the newer stand. Don’t let them sell you the older model 🙂 Get the DWX723, not the DW723.

The DW708/718 have been the benchmark product that others have built upon. I don’t foresee any changes in the near future, however I could be wrong because I am not privileged to that kind of information.

Hi

I know this fall the successor of the DW718 / DW718 XPS will hit the market;

not much details known yet; in approx. 2-3 weeks I should have some pictures;

regards

Oh, that’s the kind of info I’m interested in. Thanks for sharing.

Since it’s quite an investment, approx. $1500 (around 1000 euro) it’s worth waiting a while.

Here in the Netherlands they currently have a promotion going on as well for a DW718 XPS with the stand for about 50% of retail price. That’s the older stand however. The new ones have yet to be launched in about a month.

Looking forward to any pictures 🙂
