DeWalt Bare Tools
If you are a DeWalt guy (or gal) and use their cordless tools chances are you have several charges and a little stock pile of batteries. Now you can add to your cordless tool collection but not your charger and battery pile-- DeWalt now offers a large selection of tools in a "Bare Tool" option-- these tools do not come with batteries or a charger-- you only get the tool. This saves you money so you can get the tools you need sooner.

NEW DeWalt 20 volt Right Angle Drill
Here is yet another great 20 volt tool from DeWalt-- most of them are supposed to be available in September but others have no date so keep watch at the website for availability-- here is the info on the drill:
DEWALT® Launches New 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion Right Angle Drill Designed for Ease of Use in Tight Spaces and In High Torque Applications
TOWSON, Md. (June 2, 2011) – DEWALT announces the launch of its new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion Right Angle Drill (DCD740C1), which includes a two-speed transmission and an ergonomic handle for performance and ease of use. The new right angle drill is ideal for remodelers, carpenters, cabinetmakers and installers, woodworkers, electricians, steel stud framers and plumbers.
“We know that professionals often need a right angle drill to fit in some of the tightest spaces, so we designed our new model to be as compact as possible while still powerful enough to get the job done,” said Joerg Zellerhoff, senior product manager, DEWALT. “Although the 20 Volt MAX* right angle drill is small, we’re confident it is powerful and durable enough to meet the needs of contractors.”
For improved performance and increased productivity when compared to existing right angle drills, the DCD740C1 features a high-speed transmission that delivers 0-650/0-2,000 RPM.
To provide a right angle drill professionals can rely on for all-day use, DEWALT also designed the new DCD740CL to feature a 3/8-inch deep hex pocket, which allows a 2-inch hex bit to be installed almost all the way into the chuck. This feature further reduces overall length (including the bit) to 4 ½-inches and makes this cordless right angle drill ideal for getting into very tight spaces.
The new right angle drill weighs only 3.8 pounds and measures 4-inches in length from front to back, making it ideal for applications in tight spaces. Additionally, the product features the new, slim and ergonomic handle design that comes standard on other DEWALT 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion products to ensure the tools are as comfortable as possible in contractors’ hands.
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 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 right angle drill will be available in September 2011 anywhere DEWALT products are sold. It is expected to retail for $199.00, and will come equipped with a 1.5 Amp Hours (Ah) Lithium Ion battery and charger.

DEWALT® Launches New 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion System With New Slide Battery Packs for the Performance and Ergonomics Professionals Need
TOWSON, Md. (June 2, 2011) – Today, DEWALT announces the launch of its new line of 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion batteries that are offered in 1.5 Amp Hour (Ah) (DCB201) and 3.0 Ah (DCB200) configurations. Additionally, DEWALT is launching two new heavy-duty chargers, DCB101 and vehicle charger DCB119, as part of the tool line. The new batteries are compatible with all of the tools in the new DEWALT 20 Volt MAX* system, and the chargers are compatible with all DEWALT 12 Volt MAX* and 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion batteries. The new batteries and chargers are engineered to meet professional end user needs for versatile performance, ease of use and durability for the jobsite.
“Everyday professionals are faced with a variety of tasks on the jobsite, and our new system gives them the ability to use two battery configurations based on the specific application. For the most demanding long run-time applications, we offer end users our 3.0 Ah packs that provide extended run-time. For lighter duty applications or for applications where ergonomics is critical, our end users can use our 1.5 Ah packs,” said John Castelino, senior product manager, DEWALT.
“As part of this launch, we’re also including two new heavy-duty chargers that will not only charge our 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion batteries but also our 12 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion batteries. This enables DEWALT to offer a unique advantage to professionals.”
The new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion batteries slide onto the tool, which allowed DEWALT engineers to develop a slim, ergonomic handle design. DEWALT battery packs have a built in finger groove that provides end users with an easily accessible gripping surface, when paired with the wide-latch buttons on the batteries, both features allow end users to quickly load and unload battery packs from our tools and chargers.
When using the DCB101, the 1.5 Ah Lithium Ion battery takes just 30 minutes to charge, and the 3.0 Ah Lithium Ion battery takes only 60 minutes to charge. For mobile charging capabilities or when a wall outlet is not available, the DCB119 charges all DEWALT 12 Volt MAX* and 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion batteries from a vehicle’s power outlet.
The DCB101 and DCB119 heavy-duty chargers are also designed for ease of use and durability. Both chargers feature high-visibility LED bars allowing for clear indication of the charge progress. For optimal durability and storage on the jobsite, each of the chargers is designed with a molded cord wrap.
The new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion batteries and chargers will be available in September 2011 anywhere DEWALT products are sold. The 1.5 Ah Lithium Ion battery and heavy-duty charger are expected to retail for $79.00 ($109.00 for a 2-pack), and the 3.0 Ah Lithium Ion battery and heavy-duty automotive charger are expected to retail for $99.00 ($159.00 for a 2-pack).

NEW DEWALT 20VT LITHIUM ION TOOLS
DeWalt has come out with some new 20 volt lithium tools--about half are listed as available in September, the others have not date as of yet but will follow shortly after-- all orders are pre-orders and will not ship until available-- check out whats coming!!
DEWALT® Launches New 20 Volt MAX* POWER. MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE Lithium Ion Cordless System
TOWSON, Md. (June 2, 2011) – Today, DEWALT announces the launch of its new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion system, which includes a compact drill/driver (DCD780C2), premium drill/driver (DCD980L2), two impact drivers (DCF885C2 and DCF885L2), compact hammer drill (DCD785C2), premium hammer drill (DCD985L2), reciprocating saw (DCS380L1), circular saw (DCS391L1), SDS rotary hammer (DCH213L2), right angle drill (DCD740C1) and work light (DCL040). The 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion line was designed with innovations for high performing, long-lasting and comfortable tools professionals demand.
The 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion tools are ideal for professionals tasked with heavy-duty applications, including remodelers, carpenters, woodworkers, cabinet installers, electricians, mechanical contractors, plumbers and maintenance professionals.
“We are dedicated to continually optimizing our tools so that they meet the needs of professionals in a variety of trades. As part of our 20 Volt MAX* development process, we conducted extensive research and uncovered a need for cordless tools that offer performance in a compact, lightweight profile,” said Chris Keffer, director of marketing, DEWALT.
“We designed the new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion line to surpass professionals’ expectations and address the need for tools that have the power to withstand rigorous jobsite applications, while also providing comfort and ease of use.”
Performance
The new 20 Volt MAX* system features compact and premium tools that offer 1.5 Amp Hour (Ah), and 3.0 Ah Lithium Ion batteries which provide up to 35 percent more runtime versus other leading 18 Volt Lithium Ion tools, so that professionals can select the tool and battery power that is more appropriate for the application at hand.
Ergonomics
The tools in the 20 Volt MAX* system feature a slim handle design that is more comfortable for extensive use based on significant field testing. In addition, the engineering and design team adjusted the product footprint and weight allocation for ideal balance and a lightweight feel. The 3.0 Ah 20 Volt MAX* battery is 38 percent lighter than DEWALT’s existing DC9180 18 Volt Lithium Ion battery. These improvements are essential to contractors who are using the tools all day long on the jobsite.
Innovative Features
Each item in the 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion line includes innovative features that allow for productivity and ease of use on the jobsite. For example, the impact drivers (DCF885C2 and DCF885L2) feature a ¼-inch hex chuck capable of one-handed bit loading and each tool accepts one-inch bit tips directly into the chuck to minimize front to back length of the tool.
The new impact drivers also include three LED lights positioned in a circle around the chuck. With a 20-second delay, these lights provide visibility and help to eliminate shadows in dimly lit spaces. The remaining fastening and drilling tools in the line feature an LED light above the trigger to provide visibility that also includes the 20-second delay.
DEWALT also has included innovation in the battery chargers themselves, as they feature dual voltage charging capabilities, making them compatible with 12 Volt MAX* and 20 Volt MAX* DEWALT Lithium Ion batteries. The new 12 Volt MAX* – 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion heavy duty chargers, DCB101 and vehicle charger DCB119, offer high-visibility LEDs in the same blink patterns as existing DEWALT offerings, molded cord wrap for optimal storage, and quick charge time of 30 minutes for the 1.5 Ah and 60 minutes for the 3.0 Ah Lithium Ion batteries. The DCB119 vehicle charger offers a 90-minute charge time.
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. All premium drill models in the new 20 Volt MAX* line (DCD985L2, DCD980L2) feature a three-speed setting which is proprietary to DEWALT. The three-speed settings give professionals the option to select the most appropriate speed for a given task.
The new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion system will be available in September 2011 anywhere DEWALT products are sold. The products are expected to retail from $49.00 to $489.00. Several combo kits will be available, and they are expected to retail from $279.00 to $579.00.

For example, the impact drivers (DCF885C2 and DCF885L2) feature a ¼-inch hex chuck capable of one-handed bit loading and each tool accepts one-inch bit tips directly into the chuck to minimize front to back length of the tool.
The new impact drivers also include three LED lights positioned in a circle around the chuck. With a 20-second delay, these lights provide visibility and help to eliminate shadows in dimly lit spaces. The remaining fastening and drilling tools in the line feature an LED light above the trigger to provide visibility that also includes the 20-second delay.
DEWALT also has included innovation in the battery chargers themselves, as they feature dual voltage charging capabilities, making them compatible with 12 Volt MAX* and 20 Volt MAX* DEWALT Lithium Ion batteries. The new 12 Volt MAX* – 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion heavy duty chargers, DCB101 and vehicle charger DCB119, offer high-visibility LEDs in the same blink patterns as existing DEWALT offerings, molded cord wrap for optimal storage, and quick charge time of 30 minutes for the 1.5 Ah and 60 minutes for the 3.0 Ah Lithium Ion batteries. The DCB119 vehicle charger offers a 90-minute charge time.
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. All premium drill models in the new 20 Volt MAX* line (DCD985L2, DCD980L2) feature a three-speed setting which is proprietary to DEWALT. The three-speed settings give professionals the option to select the most appropriate speed for a given task.
The new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion system will be available in September 2011 anywhere DEWALT products are sold. The products are expected to retail from $49.00 to $489.00. Several combo kits will be available, and they are expected to retail from $279.00 to $579.00.

NEW DeWalt 12 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion Cordless System
Pre Order Now-- Pre Order Now--Pre Order Now
Be one of the first with one of these DeWalt 12V Max Tools. Now taking Pre Orders for Mid October Delivey.
DEWALT announces the launch of its new 12 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion platform that includes a:
1/4” Screwdriver DCF610S2,
3/8” Drill/Driver DCD710S2,
1/4” Impact Driver DCF815S2,
3/8” Impact Wrench DCF813S2,
LED Work Light DCL510,
Inspection Camera DCT410S1,
Infrared Thermometer DCT414S1 and two
Combo Kits DCK210S2 and DCK211S2.
Replacement Battery DCB120 and
Replacement Charger DCB100.
The platform was designed to incorporate comfort and a compact design with the power and industry-leading features contractors need on the jobsite.
The 12 Volt MAX* tools and instruments are ideal for a number of users including remodelers, electricians, cabinet installers, plumbers, service technicians, maintenance and woodworkers. The system has been built to handle a variety of drilling, fastening and measurement applications.
All products in the system feature a 12 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion battery that charges in 40 minutes. The battery is strategically placed at the bottom of the handle to allow for the patented contoured grip. This configuration provides comfort and balance and allows contractors to easily stand the tool on its battery between uses.
“To achieve the desired grip for these tools, our team spent time constructing prototypes and studying Anthropometric guides that detail the different hand shapes and sizes,” said Dan Lopano, Industrial Design Manager for DEWALT. “This effort, combined with our advanced CAD technologies and focus on user satisfaction, has produced a line of products that exceeds the comfort and balance of other tools in the market today.”
Each tool in the system incorporates features to improve overall performance on the job. For instance, three LED lights on the screwdriver, impact driver and impact wrench provide visibility without shadows. A new 1/4-inch hex chuck on the impact driver and screwdriver allows users to simply push the bit in with one hand to lock it in place, and it accepts a 1-inch bit tip to fit into the tight spaces. A wireless, removable screen on the inspection camera is ideal for accessing tight areas.

Battery Care
Hey Guys---
Here is a VERY important tidbit for everyone who uses DeWalt cordless tools---generally you are your tools worst enemy!! Due to false information running ramped among cordless tool users everyone is running their batteries totally DEAD before you charge them up---NOT GOOD! You have just killed your battery life big time. The batteries need to be charged when they start to loose power--dont run them down to get that last turn of the screw-- change the battery!! When the power starts to drop put them on the charger and charge them up. It is also good to put them on the charger overnight once a week if you use the tools daily so they have a chance to totally charge up and also the charger will have a chance to perform maintenance on the battery. There is a link below to the DeWalt battery care info-- if you have employees using your batteries you may want to print some copies and save yourself some money on replacing batteries which should still be working.

DeWalt Cordless Battery and Chargers
Cordless
Best Practices for Long Battery Pack Life
When using the DEWALT batteries and chargers, the batteries can last longer than double many of our competitors. To ensure the maximum life out of a battery pack there are some best practices which must be followed as general maintenance for Nickel Cadmium Batteries.
1. The battery will perform best if it is charged at room temperature. Do not charge in temperatures below 40 F or above 105 F. Under these conditions, the battery will not take a full charge, and may be permanently damaged.
2. If the battery is hot, let the it sit out of the charger for a least 2 hours until the battery is at room temperature. Otherwise, immediately place the battery pack in the charger.
3. Do not try to discharge the battery beyond the point where the tool no longer performs with the power and torque needed for the job, because it may cause permanent damage which will prevent the battery from taking a full charge.
Do not tape trigger on the tool to discharge the battery
4. Store the battery in a cool, dry place. If temperatures exceed 120F, it may reduce the battery life.
5. Periodically charge the battery overnight to take full advantage of the 3-Stage Charging System for optimum runtime and battery life.
Check out the Batteries and Chargers FAQs for more tips on maximize your battery.
