| DeWALT announces newest innovation in cordless power DeWALT announced the launch of its new, innovative, heavy-duty 36-volt power tool product line, providing users with increased levels of power and runtime, while weighing a similar or less weight than their corded counterparts. Available in 2006, the new seven-tool platform was designed from the ground up for improved durability and reliability to accommodate this much cordless power. The platform will include a hammerdrill, reciprocating saw, circular saw, impact wrench, rotary hammer, jigsaw, flashlight and combo kits. The line will offer users the most extensive platform of tools available in 36-volt power. DeWALT designed the 36-volt line with the ability to deliver 2-3 times more runtime and 2 times the power of 18-volt tools. DeWALT created its 36- volt platform to provide professional contractors with the performance of a corded tool to complete a variety of heavy-duty applications without the restriction of a power cord. Additionally, DEWALT engineered the tools with innovative features that increase productivity, ease of use and durability. To create the battery technology for the 36-volt platform, DeWALT partnered with A123Systems, a developer of a new generation of lithium-ion batteries that incorporate nanoscale technology developed at and exclusively licensed from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The 36-volt battery technology, provided exclusively to DeWALT for power tool applications, has a unique lithium-ion design that offers a high-level of power, durability and life when compared to conventional lithium technology. The 36-volt line will be officially unveiled to the general public at the International Builder's Show in Orlando, FL, scheduled to take place in January 2006. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
