I'm in the same boat. I'm confident with the battery tech that it should be plenty for the little 300. Still would like 36v for a 55mm saw

I would assume the title designation "kss 40 18m bl" means that it is in fact a brushless motor. I'm hoping there's a bare tool option to purchase as all I need is the saw and dustbag

I'm hoping there's a bare tool option to purchase as all I need is the saw and dustbag yes that's what I hoped 'bl' would mean,brushless,the bare tool would be nice,already having suitable batteries and charger from owning the drill,but I think it unlikely that they will sell it bare as to the best of my knowledge they haven't sold bare tools before,by the time it comes to market they may also elect to sell it with metabos new HD batteries,if so the run time should be awesome. |

thanks for that aaron,from that article it seems they will be sending them out for testing around October so I would think it will be next year before they go on sale |

Nice one it sounds like they are phasing out the old ksp saws with the new K65 and kss65. I do wonder if in the future a k55 will come out have to wait and see
Next month in the uk thier dm tool show. Mafell have hinted to me that new kss 40/18bi will be thier. I think we'll need to wait on the others

Yes it means exactly that. I expect Metabo battery packs and I'm very curious if they go 1x36v or 2x18v.
I will be going either to BWS in Austria Oct. 6 - 9, or Woodtec in Czech Republic, which is two weeks later, but much closer from where I live. I am in Slovakia. Either way, I will take pictures so I can post here on MUF.

I have no great desire for a battery powered unit... Maybe it is a good time to get a the 400 model? |
