Do you really mean (and really wish) the 18 volt MAX will not be backward compatible with the NANO or the NiCd?? Milwaukee M18/V18 drama all over?? Just kidding.  Nice re-creation by the way. |

For me I wouldn't care, I would enjoy the upgrade in ergonomics! Yes I would agree drama drama drama would happen, which is probably why Dewalt has never done it.

Just think, DeWalt's tower style platform have been around for more than 18yrs; that is dedication to its users. Now the design has changed and they launched the 12v system........ So i think the next round of 18v **cough** power tools will expand into a whole new platform. This might upset some of the tower pack users but i do not think they will be left out in the cold like some of the competitors; changing a platfrom almost every 5yrs  |

The tower pack is not going to be fazed out, it will still be available regardless of the new platform  |

It was merely a flawless photo edit, I cut the head off the 12v max and added the DC827 head in it's place. then blew it up to size. |

well done well done. I never really considered the 20 second delay to be so convenient . I love it. It bugs me that my 12v doesn't...well maybe you should take a shot at the new radio or something....haha in that little exspansion picture it looks like there will be 2 skill saws..wonder what the difference will be
