DEWALT LAUNCHES NEW WORKSITE CHARGER / RADIO

New model features enhancements including multi-chemistry charger and improved sound quality


October 2009 – DEWALT, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools, launches a new worksite charger / radio (DC012) that includes several enhancements to increase performance and meet the needs of professional end users who use their worksite charger / radios daily, including plumbers, electricians, remodelers, HVAC, service and repair contractors, trim installers, and many other trades.

“We were the first to launch the worksite radio category in 1999, and the popularity of the DEWALT charger / radio has continued to grow over the past ten years,” said Christine Potter, Director of Marketing for DEWALT. “We’re pleased to offer a new best-in-class model that includes innovative advancements such as a multi-chemistry charger for increased jobsite productivity.”

With a multi-chemistry charger, the new DC012 is the only heavy-duty jobsite charger / radio in the industry that can charge Ni-Cd and Li-Ion battery packs. Within one hour, the new model can charge any D EWALT 7.2 to 18-volt Ni-Cd or Li-Ion battery (excluding Univolt®), even while the radio is playing. A heavy-duty roll cage protects the unit from damage related to jobsite abuse and ensures that the new models are designed to withstand even the toughest environments.

For increased performance and sound quality, the new AM/FM charger / radio features 4” HD weather resistant speakers, bass ports and a bass boost. The digital tuning feature offers end users better reception, and pre-set memory buttons allow users to program their favorite stations for quick access.

Three AC outlets and an auxiliary input and iPod nest offer maximum versatility.
