DEWALT Announces Extensive Range of New Innovations in Hand Tools and Accessories Designed for Trade Professionals
DEWALT just announced a new lineup of innovations in its hand tools and accessories category designed to empower tradespeople on the jobsite by optimizing user workflow and productivity. New product offerings, anchored by the 20V MAX GRABO Lifter and additions to the IMPACT CONNECT System, provide solutions for a variety of trades including mechanical, electrical, plumbing and automotive.
“The expansive new roster of groundbreaking hand tools and accessories continues to strengthen DEWALT’s ecosystem of tools and technology that provides end-to-end solutions,” said Dave Veprek, vice president of hand tools, accessories & storage at DEWALT. “In alignment with DEWALT’s 100-year legacy of productivity and performance, each product is designed to deliver on the demands of trade professionals, enhancing their workflows every day on the job.”
Introducing the 20V MAX GRABO Lifter
With a lift-load capacity of up to 265 lbs max in horizontal lifting and up to 132 lbs max in vertical lifting, the 20V MAX GRABO Lifter (DCE592) utilizes a powerful electric vacuum pump to help maximize user control during lifting, carrying or installation applications. The Lifter can be used with a wide range of heavy construction materials including glass, tile, metal, as well as semi-porous materials like wood, drywall, concrete and natural stones. Powered by a DEWALT 20V MAX battery, the tool offers generous runtime to optimize productivity throughout the workday.
The 20V MAX GRABO Lifter is equipped with a built-in pressure sensor that automatically controls the pump, helping to maintain the vacuum grip. It also features a digital pressure gauge that communicates pressure developed as well as an audio alarm alerting users when battery level is low, and four metal lift-strap attachment hooks allowing for use of lifting straps (straps sold separately).
The 20V MAX GRABO Lifter will be available as a bare unit (DCE592B, battery sold separately) or kitted (DCE592D1, battery included) in December where DEWALT products are sold.
IMPACT CONNECT System Expands with Inside Pipe Cutter & PEX Crimper and Pincher Attachments
The DEWALT IMPACT CONNECT portfolio continues to grow with several new attachments that quickly transform select DEWALT 20V MAX and other pro-grade 18V Impact Drivers into specialized tools for the trades.
Designed with a durable diamond grit cutting edge (manufactured with lab-made diamond particles) that delivers 10X longer life, the IMPACT CONNECT Inside Pipe Cutter Attachment (DWAIPCIR) cuts 2X faster in tough plumbing applications. The attachment cuts a wide range of PVC pipe sized from 1-1/4 in. to 8 in. schedule 40 and features a permanently fixed blade.
The IMPACT CONNECT PEX Crimper Attachment (DWAPXCIR) and IMPACT CONNECT PEX Pincher Attachment (DWAPXPIR) aid in fast, effort-saving work.
The IMPACT CONNECT PEX Crimper Attachment delivers 50% faster crimping with 30X less crimping effort. Available in both 1/2 in. and 3/4 in. ring sizes, the attachment provides one-hand operation capabilities. Its wire ring supports help prevent sliding in vertical applications. The IMPACT CONNECT PEX Pincher Attachment delivers 6X faster clamps with less than 1% pinching effort. With a capacity of 3/8- to 1-in. pinch rings, users can take on a wide range of pinching applications. They can also complete jobs with confidence utilizing the completion indicator that turns green when the pinch cycle is complete. Both PEX attachments are designed to fit in a standard joist bay and feature 360-degree rotation to help maximize accessibility.
The IMPACT CONNECT Inside Pipe Cutter Attachment as well as the PEX Crimper and Pincher Attachments are available now.
