DeWalt has introduced 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.
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 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.
New TOUGHSERIES™ Mechanics Sets and Automotive Tools
Joining the DEWALT TOUGHSERIES™ lineup are several new mechanics tool sets and wrench sets that include design and technology advancements for maneuverability, durability and productivity.
TOUGHSERIES™ Mechanics Tool Sets include new TOUGHSERIES™ Sockets with powerjaw technology providing 30% more torque on rounded fasteners as well as TOUGHSERIES™ 144-Tooth Count Quick Release Ratchets that deliver 4X longer life and a 2.5-degree arc swing that helps ease movement in tight spaces. Engineered with a full-polish chrome finish that helps provide corrosion resistance, these sets are packed in a durable case for organization and portability. The sets are available in 1/4-in. to 1/2-in. drive sizes and range from 20 pieces to 242 pieces.
IMPACT CONNECT™ System Expands With Inside Pipe Cutter, and 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 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.
Finally, two new PEX attachments, the IMPACT CONNECT™ PEX Crimper Attachment and IMPACT CONNECT™ PEX Pincher Attachment 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 and wire ring supports that 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 in. to 1 in. pinch rings, users can take on a wide range of pinching applications and 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.
