Just got a shipping notification, happy days. Well spotted m-i-m-m-, thank you.

I reckon this is the biggest saving I've made on this forum in ten years, cracking deal.

pissed off i missed this, the same item is 350 sterling on screwfix.com

Jumped on yesterday evening - still processing, have use for it most certainly...

Assume batteries can be used with other deWalt compatible bodies?

Yes no problem.

For those with a pile of "old" DeWalt tools, there is an adapter available DCA1820, which allows the new DeWalt LiIon batteries to be used in most of the old tools.

Great tip. I use the 18v XRP stuff all the time. Gonna pick up one of those.

Don't forget to register the tool with dewalt within a month to extend the guarantee to three years.
I have all my current tools registered, it's quick, simple and well worth it imo.

You'd be only hoping for a flat tyre to use it.

Kind of gutted I didn't see this sooner. The body alone is £169 on Amazon.

It is available on the uk site 149pounds which is 172euros

That's without batteries

Without doubt, another definite "top 10" BA and we're only 14/4 way through 2017 !

Brilliant, thanks for that!

Have a brand new drill body that takes the old batteries, hadn't been able to use it.

I have one of these Impact Wrench kits ordered from screwfix so happy days!

ecomac · 20-03-2017 05:41PM

Back in stock on ie website. Be quick!

Kencollins · 20-03-2017 06:04PM

I ordered mine early yesterday, It is still showing as "Processing". I hope it dispatches OK!

20-03-2017 06:34PM

Showing out of stock on the .ie again

Just to be sure this should have no problem working on a car eg wheel nut's, suspension bolts ect or are you better off saving the money towards a milwaukee that I've heard mentioned before?

Absolutely. Buy it. You'll have more power at your disposal than you are ever likely to need.

Im getting a "requested quantity is not available" when I try add to the cart, Im only selecting 1. Are you able to add it to your cart?

Yep, not available.

And I'm not surprised. I'd be amazed if anyone secured it on a re-release.

khamilto · 21-03-2017 03:59AM

If anyone regrets their purchasing decision, I'll happily give them the asking for one!

Im sure you will find plenty on adverts and done deal not for asking price though. :-)

Not my one! Its on its way to France :pac:

I didnt get a tracking number, Im guessing no one did? I thought for something this expensive a tracking number would be given.

no tracking. Just a shipped confirmation. Should have them today/tomorrow.

The lips · 21-03-2017 08:54AM

Out of stock message on the listing now.

Wasn't showing that yesterday. Must mean they are getting no more in.

Another BA missed!

True, but even though it was showing in stock, it was unavailable to order.

I work for a large enough retailer of power tools and deal with customer returns and quality issues.....

Something to keep in mind folks, Screwfix approached DeWalt a while back about selling their tools. They buy thousands of each tool from DeWalt so they were able to push for a good bulk buy deal. Screwfix only offered DeWalt X amount per tool, so as a result DeWalt had to build each tool for that X amount. As a result the quality of some of their tools has gone down the toilet. Not all, but some definitely.

Specifically the DCN690 nail gun (which is being phased out), DCH253 drill as well as some smaller impact drivers and drills. They are crap.

I haven't come across too many of this particular Impact Wrench yet, so it would seem to be OK quality wise. But if you do buy it I would absolutely register is for the extended 3 year DeWalt warranty.

Can't comment on the nailer but the SDS you referred to is without question a superb piece of kit. The BA is their flagship 18V torque wrench. I've no doubt it too will perform flawlessly. I cannot believe that if X company offer Dewalt X per unit (on a currently produced unit) that they will build those units to an inferior level.

Mine shipped this morning :pac:

Does such a converter exist to marry the batteries to makita stuff? Im guessing now but would be nice.- Ive a few makita bits with nackered NiCads

Aaaaaaaaaaaand it's gone again.

Additionally "page not found" even if aforementioned SKU code 2134J is entered.
