![]() They probably have 75-80% items in common, but that other 20-25% might only be in one or two of the stores. Locally we have 3 Lowe's that are within about 30 miles of each other, and some of their employees refer to them as A,B and C stores. It may actually be individual stores being reset with keeping what sells and removing what doesn't. I've been interested in the pivoting reciprocating saw, especially since missing my chance to get the old 18v or 12v Porter Cable version. There is still a niche market for 12v Max tools, especially if DeWalt does revamp the line. As we've recently learned, Lowe's will need all the space it can make for Craftsman next year. With so much focus being placed on smaller and more lightweight 18v tools, I can see the two major b&m retailers (HD and Lowe's) clearing out lesser selling lines like DeWalt 12v Max in favor of more shelf space. Not too heavy, just the right amount of power, etc. A DirecTV installer had a drill which he used to install my dish, and he told me it was perfect for that line of work. I first noticed the 12v Max tools a few years before starting my DeWalt infatuation. ![]() While the Bosch PS31 I picked up a few days ago is nice, I prefer the smaller grip offered by slide-on pack designs. At that price or lower, I may pick one up to keep in the truck. That said, I noticed the 12v combo at Lowe's for $129 earlier. Weight and height differences don't matter that much to me. They are actually a bit longer, and coupled with my lower Ah batteries and the tools brushed designs, run time probably pales in comparison to what I already own in 20v Max. Or maybe they made a spontaneous decision.Īs I posted, the 12v Max drill and impact just don't offer much over my 20v Max tools. DeWalt likely would not have spent the time and effort developing and marketing lasers and other 12v Max items in the past year or two if they were honestly looking at getting rid of them. I'll see if I can't get some new info.Ī rational voice on an internet forum? Say it ain't so! Just kidding, but it is funny how quickly we (myself included) take a random posting on the internet (by a new user, at that!) as gospel truth. There was a huge interest in revamping the line. And Lowe's no longer has department managers so it's usually a cluster of things not getting done right.Īt the DeWalt media event I spoke with managers about 12v. Maybe they won't keep them in store, doubtful. ![]() Lowe's is however revamping their power tool displays. Especially if it's this kind of news before. Whoever you spoke with would likely not be in the know anyway. ![]()
