I'm curious if anyone has heard any rumors or has any information about upcoming new or updated tools from DeWalt. Personally, I've been waiting eagerly for an updated multi-tool or perhaps a 54V planer similar to Makita's 40V model. I would also love a new compact miter saw since the current DCS 365 seems overdue for an upgrade. What tools would you all like to see improved or newly released?

I've heard that a 60V 1" drive impact wrench is in development, but that's about it for new stuff. Personally, I’d love to see some updated FlexVolt batteries, like a 12Ah pack that actually delivers better performance. Maybe they could even make a 15Ah with 21700 cells for improved runtime. Also, an updated Atomic impact wrench with more power would be awesome. I use my 921 all the time and love it, but sometimes I wish it had a bit more oomph!

I heard there might be a new grease gun coming to the U.S. market; I think it’s already available in other regions. I couldn't find much about it, though. A fellow user dropped some links about it!
Check out these links for more info on the new grease gun: [Atlas Machinery](https://www.atlas-machinery.com/dewalt-dew-dcgg581gd1-20v-max-cordless-10-000-psi-variable-2-speed-grease-gun-2-0ah-kit/) and [Acme Tools](https://www.acmetools.com/dewalt-20v-max-2-speed-grease-gun-bare-tool-dcgg581b/S0000000102705.html).
It would be great if they could upgrade their flip knife to include a bottle opener and screwdriver like the ones Milwaukee has. That would make it so much more versatile!
Yeah, looks like there's already a 20V MAX 2-Speed Grease Gun available. Check it out on Acme Tools or other sites!
