wow Dewalt is knocking off 20 volt max tools already?

Does that look anything like a DeWALT 20v tool? Nope. Could it possibly be that they are trying to broaden the idea of the 20v max concept/name? Is in the Black & Decker case, which actually had 20v max before the DeWALT launch? Yah, I think so.

We just got the PC impact and drill for review. I like them a lot. No real resemblance to the DeWALT 20V max. The drill has some power, we drove a 1″ auger though a 4×4 with ease. The blocky design and color is just cool. Porter Cable just got a lot better in my book. The review will be up next week on TIA.
