Just from Dan showing it I thought it was wicked awesome!

Yes I watched Dan periscope on the green and red lasers from DeWalt and the green one was awesome in a very brightly lighted garage. Don’t know if they are in stores yet.
I think they are coming in the next month or two, pretty sure it has a quarter 1 release date.

The red laser version is significantly cheaper

I think the Reds just come with the AA battery packs as well.

Yes it does can use the 12v batteries too, I think that is actually a cool feature incase you’re not near an outlet and the battery dies you can get AA almost anywhere

At the fire department we all use stream light right angle flashlights on our gear, not everyone does but they have a insert for AA batteries instead of the rechargeable, I always keep it ready to go in case my rechargeable pack goes down. Good to have that as a back up.

When I watched the reviews of this power tool in YouTube, they are just discuss or explain the usage of this tool. Also they mention the package included of this power tool.
Why this ins’t 20v is the mystery of the day IMO.
To make guys like us buy into 2 battery systems, once I have one I might as well get anotherHugh Jass wrote:

At least you can use the 12V packs on the 20v charger

With something drawing that little current there’s no good reason not to make it dual voltage. It would take maybe $5 of parts (much less for a manufacturer) to make it dual voltage. Even if it was going to be single voltage their 12V line is practically nonexistent.

I mentioned that when Dan showed them on Periscope earlier. Dan mentioned to keep size and weight down, but make it only compatible with compact 20v batteries. With how stagnant the Dewalt 12v line is besides the occasional test and measurement tool added recently this would have been better served being on the 20v platform. At least you could save a few dollars and get the bare tool version.
he thing is weight isn’t a factor as the laser just sits on a tri pod or it is clamped or uses the magnet so the added weight of a 20v slim pack won’t affect anything , I think maybe dewalt might be releasing more 12v tools in the next year or two !Jasonc wrote:

I agree, battery size and weight is a silly reason. Could be a car battery, who cares when you only handle it to put it up and take it down.
