Milwaukee announced their introduction of high-torque cordless impact wrenches based on their M18 platform. While all feature impressive stats, they claim the biggest will reach 750 ft-lbs of fastening torque. For a cordless tool. Wow.
Not far behind Bosch's jobsite radio is DeWALT with it's own offering for 2013. But DeWALT's doubles as a 12v/20v MAX battery charger, too.
Bosch has announced their new job-site radio, the PB120, in a lightweight but rugged looking form factor, high performance 5-Watt neodymium speakers, and powered by a 12v battery.
Based on reports of overheating enough to burst cause damage, some of Ryobi's 18v lithium-ion 4.0 Ah battery packs (model number P108, part number 130429028) have been recalled.
Milwaukee announced the imminent release of their new compact cordless impact wrenches, coming in March 2013.
The 18v wrench will offer 200 ft-lbs of torque (that's 2400 in-lbs to us impact driver guys). As part of the M18 FUEL line, they have brushless motors which offer less internal friction, allowing for longer tool life and increased power.
