YES:
I'm looking at the pre-order for the Milwaukee M18 Fuel 8 1/4" Table Saw with 12AH HD Kit.
Looks like a 12AH battery is coming.

Now they're showing the battery.

Now they're showing a new chain-saw. The whole kit is $399. Battery, charger, and saw.
$249 for the battery and charger puts the saw for $150.
Quite often Milwaukee has a (Real Good Freebe) offer when buying a Kit. Like a free 5AH battery.
Stay tuned for hopefully a good deal.

Today on another tool web-site they showed a different drill. Wrap around auxiliary handle , more like the handle on Makita drills. Model 2804-22.
Looks like someone is addressing the torn-off handle problem???

I noticed that as well. The previous auxilary handle contact points on the drill housing were total garbage. I know a lot of guys didn’t have a problem with them (I did) but with what the drill was rated to do, I didn’t see the handle lasting even on construction projects. They should have just done it the new way to begin with. However, at least it’s being addressed. I have a Clam plate now anyways so it’s a moot point but I still might pick up the newer bare tool.

That 12ah battery looks like a total monster.

I contacted Milwaukee about the new handles. As i have the 2703-22 drill. While i never have had a issue with the handle. I wanted to see if the new improved handle would fit my drill. Nope! Is what i was told. One would think, they know they have an issue with the old type handle breaking off under load. That they would make a work around for us with the "old" two year old drill.
