Manufacturer: DeWalt

DeWalt makes a lot of excellent tools, but our DeWalt tool reviews separate the real winners from the run-of-the-mill. From the new DeWalt FlexVolt concrete saw to the excellent DeWalt DWV012 HEPA dust extractor, there’s a lot to like. Our hands-on approach combines in-house scientific testing with real-world usage to determine if tools like the DeWalt Tool Connect hammer drill are anything special. Dewalt Tool Connect is the latest technology from this tool company, but not all DeWalt tools feature it. Their FlexVolt battery technology is second to none with hybrid 20V and 60V applications. DeWalt FlexVolt tools also run longer, faster, and with more power than their 18V tools. DeWalt Tool Reviews with Hands-on Testing The following DeWalt tool reviews endure a combination of trade-specific testing with rugged testing in the PTR Shop. You’ll see that we cover the gamut, from DeWalt hand tools to power tools and outdoor power equipment. For great deals on DeWalt tools check out this page.

DeWalt DWE4011 4-1/2″ Small Angle Grinder Preview

by Clint DeBoer

DeWalt has launched a bunch of new tools this year, but I don’t recall their angle grinders getting any attention in some time. Now, a new 4-1/2″ Small Angle Grinder has been deployed whose claim to fame (newest feature) is a One-Touch Guard that allows the user to simply turn the guard by hand to adjust its position into any of eight durable detents. There is no button to push and the process is completely tool-less. DeWalt observed a need for users to continually move the guard depending on the application, while in manufacturing shops and on jobsites. We’d have to agree, and this feature seems to address a pretty common problem, while at the same time encouraging the use of the guard in more applications. In addition to easy adjustability, the guard also pops on and off with a quick press of the release button.

DeWalt DCH213L2 20V Max SDS Rotary Hammer Review

by Clint DeBoer

I remember when the cordless hammer drill was the new tool every contractor and pro was talking about. It revolutionized how quickly you could get a job done, and the cordless aspect of bringing that kind of power to tasks like pre-drilling Tapcons or performing other tasks really altered the industry. But jobs like overhead drilling in reinforced concrete or repetitive drilling of dozens of 3/8″ or larger holes really takes its toll. For that, DeWalt just upped the ante with its DCH213L2 20V Max Rotary Hammer. Not only does the tool take advantage of the new 20V Max battery technology (which is really built from the ground up to communicate with the new 20V Max tools), it brings a whole lot more power and versatility to the work of concrete drilling and penetration.

DeWalt DWHT43003 Torpedo Level Preview

by Clint DeBoer

DeWalt added a new torpedo level to their hand tool line, the DWHT43003 Torpedo Level. This small 9″ level has integrated solid block vials that should be both accurate and durable. When you’re tossing around a small level, the last thing you want are vials that shift or break when you throw it into a tool bag or the back of your truck. The top and bottom surfaces of the level are milled – a feature that DeWalt claims contributes to its 0.0005 inch/inch accuracy. Additionally, the center vial is magnified so it’s easy to read. To keep it affixed to metal studs and pipe, the new DWHT43003 Torpedo uses the more powerful and long-lasting rare earth magnets. A V-Groove base lets you affix the level to rounded pipe like copper, EMT and PVC. This may not be the most exciting tool DeWalt debuted this week in New York, but it’s a great product that should find its way into a lot of tool bags.
