Product Central: DeWalt Flexvolt Framing Saw
<p>Turn on the power with this month's power tool product review.</p>
Of course, good things come in small packages. But everyone also knows that awesome things come in big packages with warnings on the side of the box and sharp, shiny accessories.
The power tools assembled in the latest edition of the HBSDealer merchandise review represent both types of packages. They also represent a category that can position retailers firmly in the mind of the consumer as a core hardware destination.
Power tools are not without their challenges, to put it mildly. Competition is fierce from the toughest competitors. And few categories are more sensitive to price differentials and more subject to price comparisons. The retail rule of thumb in this area: If you’re in power tools, get in power tools in a big way. Awareness of product innovations is one key to being a big player.
Here is one power tool notable from HBSDealer’s annual roundup:
Here’s the latest expansion of the Flexvolt System — the 60V MAX 7 -1/3 Framing Saw, designed with the blade oriented to the left of the motor and the handle position at the rear of the saw. The company says the brushless motor allows for accuracy, durability and long run-time. (dewalt.com)
