DeWalt debuts cordless construction tools
DeWalt, a Stanley Black & Decker brand, is rolling out its DEWALT POWERSHIFT line, a cordless equipment system that aims to optimize the workflow of concrete and construction jobsites through electrification. The electric equipment system allows users to transition away from gas-powered equipment, without compromising efficiency and performance, per the company.
The line, which includes a vibrator, backpack vibrator, concrete power screed, rammer, plate compactor, core drill and stand, 554WH battery and 550W charger, has been tested on jobsites across North America and internationally. In customer testimonials, workers highlight the system's ease of use, precision, power, light weight and runtime. One user notes, "Once everyone uses POWERSHIFT, they're going to realize the ease of use and it's going to completely change everyone. They're not going to go back to traditional corded and gas-powered."
The line incorporates a key component of DeWalt's total workflow solution – connectivity – through new TOOL CONNECT+ integrated technology that provides users data on asset management, tool location, utilization and safety via the DEWALT Site Manager app (additional subscription charge and third-party data charges may apply).
