DEWALT® Launches New 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion Premium Drill/Driver and Hammerdrill to Provide the Durability and Performance Needed to Tackle Heavy-Duty Tasks
TOWSON, Md. (June 2, 2011) – DEWALT announces the launch of its new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion premium hammerdrill (DCD985L2) and premium drill/driver (DCD980L2). Features of the new hammerdrill and drill/driver include a three-speed all metal transmission, ½-inch metal ratcheting chuck and all metal gear housing meet professionals’ demands for extreme durability, performance and comfort. These two new drills are ideal for commercial and residential builders, electricians, plumbers, remodelers, carpenters, cabinetmakers and installers, and woodworkers.
“The goal of this drill project was to deliver the most versatile and robust cordless drill for contractors who rely on their tools everyday. At the same time we used our new 20 Volt MAX* platform to improve the grip and overall ergonomics of our premium drills,” explains Joerg Zellerhoff, senior product manager, DEWALT.
For the performance contractors expect, each of the new premium drills offer an all-metal, three-speed transmission that delivers 0-600, 0-1,250, and 0-2,000 RPM, depending on the setting.
These three settings allow contractors to select the appropriate speed for the application at hand and provide the user with a significant advantage for applications that cannot be done in high speed due to the torque requirement. While other drills would have to be set to the slowest speed, each of DEWALT premium drills has a middle speed setting that is more than twice as fast for applications such as drilling larger ship auger bits. Also, each of the premium drills incorporate a slim handle design that provides comforts to professionals.
Each of the premium hammerdrill and drill/driver feature a ½-inch metal ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts that helps to reduce bit slippage during high torque applications and provides long life. Each tool also features a bright LED work light above the trigger, which provides a 20 second delay for use in dimly lit spaces.
DEWALT-designed electronics are built into the switches of all 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion tools and lights. These electronics provide maximum life for the tools and batteries by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading and deep discharge during use. The charger for each of the tools in the system has dual voltage capabilities, and it is compatible with 12 Volt MAX* and 20 Volt MAX* DEWALT Lithium Ion batteries.
The new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion premium drill/driver and hammerdrill will be available anywhere DEWALT products are sold in September 2011. The premium hammerdrill is expected to retail for $299.00, and the premium drill/driver is expected to retail for $279.00. Each of the drills will come standard with two 3.0 Ah Lithium Ion batteries and a charger. They also will be offered in a variety of combo kit options.
The drills will come standard with a three-year limited warranty, one-year free service contract and 90-day money-back guarantee.

Re-Open Moss St.
Moss St. has been a main thru way for Silver Hills and others for 30+ years. The closer is burden on our community for many reasons.
Reasons why Moss Street should be REOPENED
1. This road has been used for 30 plus years by the community.
2. There is now only ONE way in and out for 80 families.
3. Road has been a thru way for surrounding community not just Silver Hills.
4. Safety issues have been sited as road closure—consider this—Blair/Alice entrance is right next to a very large sink hole, Alice street has washed out leaving only the Moss Street as a way in and out.
5. If the area, which is a wooded area, ever has a fire due to drought or act of God, etc, you are leaving many families in harms way with limiting the area to only ONE way out.
6. Residents now have to travel 1.3 miles further in and out to get to work and home again.
7. Contraire to DPW—School district has used Moss Street as a way in and out. Our children have used Moss street to get to the bus stop over in Oak Acres to get to school.
8. Contraire to DPW—Law enforcement uses Moss Street on a regular basis.
9. Ambulance and other emergency vehicles have used Moss Street for years.
10. There has been a problem with Oak Acres for years-- since it (oak acres) started to build up they have wanted to close our road. The county should have improved this road years ago to solve this problem between the two communities.
11. We (Silver Hills) have been told in the past from Mr. Radakey and Mr. Mixon that this road would not close because so many people used the road.
12. Traffic counts by the DPW show that Moss Street is a thru street for our area.
13. Over the past years there has been a lot of development to the south of us—shopping, schools, etc. which means we are going to use Moss Street as our way to these areas. Again not just Silver Hills but the surrounding area also.
14. Moss Street is used on a regular basis by the trash company, UPS, FedEx and others as part of their routes of doing business.
15. Blair St is NOT properly maintained by the county to FORCE all of us to HAVE to use this road. This road if full of huge pot holes – most of us choose to go out Moss Street instead of going out on Blair because of the condition of the road.
16. County maps and all other Map companies show Moss Street to Oakcrest Circle as a road.
17. Silver Hills community was here long before Oak Acres—we have no problem with the road as it is, we have used it for many, many years without incident. The only problem is oak acres.
18. You are hereby notified of potential liability that may arise to Silver Hills due to the closure of Moss Street exit.

NEW DeWalt 20 volt Impact Drivers
Here is yet another new 20 vt tool-- everyones favorite- the impact driver-- there are two to choose from the difference being the batteries that come with the tool. Check out the info below and click on the links for more detailed specs ---
DEWALT® Launches New 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion ¼ ” Impact Driver to Meet Increasing Demand for Fast, Lightweight, and Compact Power Tools on the Jobsite
TOWSON, Md. (June 2, 2011) – Today, DEWALT meets the growing demand for impact drivers on professional jobsites with the introduction of two new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion impact drivers, available with both 1.5 Amp Hour (Ah) (DCF885C2) and 3.0 Ah Lithium Ion batteries (DCF885L2). Features of the new impact drivers such as speed, compact size and a one-handed loading chuck deliver improved performance, ergonomics and innovation when compared to other impact drivers on the market.
The small, lightweight design of these tools are ideal for cabinetmakers and HVAC professionals in addition to steel stud framers, electrical, mechanical and general contractors who frequently perform drilling and fastening applications overhead or in tight spaces.
“There is an increased demand for impact drivers globally because these tools offer the versatility and durability professionals need in a compact yet very powerful package,” said Jeremy Torok, senior product manger, DEWALT. “Due to hundreds of hours of jobsite research around the world, we know that professionals are using impact drivers more frequently.
“We have optimized our 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion models so they can handle a variety of applications and withstand daily jobsite wear and tear while giving users features that allow them to work more productively.”
With a durable motor that delivers 2,800 RPM, the DCF885C2 and DCF885L2 impact drivers are up to 57 percent faster versus other leading 18 Volt Lithium Ion tools. The only difference between the two units is in their battery power. The DCF885C2 features a 1.5 Ah Lithium Ion battery, and the DCF885L2 offers a 3.0 Ah Lithium Ion battery that provide longer runtime than its counterpart.
Research shows that the growing popularity of impact drivers is largely due to the fact that these tools are smaller and more compact than drills, and they eliminate reactionary torque (kickback) due to the impact mechanism within the tool. Knowing that size and weight are extremely important to impact driver users, the new DEWALT 1.5 Ah and 3.0 Ah 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion impact drivers are small in size and lightweight. Both units measure 5.55 inches from front to back, and they weigh 2.8 pounds and 3.4 pounds, respectively. Also, these tools feature the same slim handle design as the other products in DEWALT’s new 20 Volt MAX* system, which contributes to the comfort users will experience when using these tools.
DEWALT is dedicated to improving and optimizing their products to meet contractors’ needs. An example of how DEWALT continues to enhance their tools is the one-handed loading ¼-inch hex chuck that is featured on both 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion impact drivers.
This chuck accepts and holds one-inch bit tips for convenient fastening in tight spaces. Each impact driver also comes with an all-metal belt hook that can be attached to either side of the tool. Additionally, the innovative LED lights, which incorporate three LED lights around the chuck of the tool, help to provide visibility without shadows in dimly lit spaces. The lights remain on for 20 seconds after the trigger is released for added visibility.
“On the jobsite, interaction with end users was absolutely critical in designing these tools. The product development team responsible for these new impact drivers team is excited to be able to incorporate so many new features,” Torok said.
DEWALT-designed electronics are built into the switches of all 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion tools and lights. These electronics provide maximum life for the tools and batteries by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading and deep discharge during use. The charger for each of the tools in the 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion system has dual voltage capabilities, and it is compatible with 12 Volt MAX* and 20 Volt MAX* DEWALT Lithium Ion batteries.
The new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion impact drivers will be available anywhere DEWALT products are sold in September 2011. The DCF885C2 is expected to retail for approximately $219.00, and the DCF885L2 is expected to retail for $269.00. The tools will be offered in a variety of combo kit options.
There are a number of DEWALT accessories, specifically the IMPACT READY Accessory line, that are rated for use with impact drivers.

The LED bulb also creates less heat than conventional Xenon bulbs.
“We spent time on the jobsite with contractors to better understand how they work in small spaces with poor lighting, which gave us a first-hand look at the difficulties users face when handling and positioning work lights to allow for hand-free usage and multitasking,” said Jim Watson, senior product manager, DEWALT. “In addition to engineering the new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion Work Light to include LED technology, resulting in a clear and bright light, we incorporated features such as a pivoting head and hang hook to solve end user frustrations with light positioning.
The pivoting head rotates 120 degrees with 11 detent positions for a wide range of visibility and the ability to easily lock-in the light projection angle. The integrated hang hook allows for hands-free capability in that it can be hung in spaces where added visibility is required.
With 110 Lumens that deliver bright white LED light output to easily differentiate between colors and help reduce shadows, the DEWALT 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion Work Light is an obvious choice for contractors. The new work light provides up to 11 hours of light output when paired with the 3.0 Amp Hour (Ah) 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion battery.
DEWALT-designed electronics are built into the switches of all 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion tools and lights. These electronics provide maximum life for the tools and batteries by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading and deep discharge during use. In addition, the charger for each of the items in the line has dual voltage capabilities and is compatible with 12 Volt MAX* and 20 Volt MAX* DEWALT Lithium Ion batteries.
The new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion Work Light will be available in September 2011 anywhere DEWALT products are sold, and it is expected to retail for $49.00.

The pivoting head rotates 120 degrees with 11 detent positions for a wide range of visibility and the ability to easily lock-in the light projection angle. The integrated hang hook allows for hands-free capability in that it can be hung in spaces where added visibility is required.
With 110 Lumens that deliver bright white LED light output to easily differentiate between colors and help reduce shadows, the DEWALT 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion Work Light is an obvious choice for contractors. The new work light provides up to 11 hours of light output when paired with the 3.0 Amp Hour (Ah) 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion battery.
DEWALT-designed electronics are built into the switches of all 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion tools and lights. These electronics provide maximum life for the tools and batteries by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading and deep discharge during use. In addition, the charger for each of the items in the line has dual voltage capabilities and is compatible with 12 Volt MAX* and 20 Volt MAX* DEWALT Lithium Ion batteries.
The new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion Work Light will be available in September 2011 anywhere DEWALT products are sold, and it is expected to retail for $49.00. It will be sold bare and is compatible with both the 20 Volt MAX* 1.5 Ah and 3.0 Ah Lithium Ion batteries. The light will be offered in a variety of combo kit options.
