Power of corded , freedom of cordless

»»
DEWALT KICKstarted the cordless revolution , granting unparalleled portability , runtime and performance to millions of end-users all over the globe , striving to ensure that construction professionals the world over see DEWALT as the benchmark for quality . In August 2016 , DEWALT unveiled the revolutionary XR FLEXVOLT battery pack – the world ’ s first 18 / 54V convertible battery pack – and the dawn of a new era in cordless power tool technology .
UNLOCKING THE FULL POTENTIAL OF CORDLESS TECHNOLOGY
The DEWALT XR FLEXVOLT is a convertible 18 / 54V battery : completely backwards compatible with existing 18V DEWALT products , yet with the option to amplify its voltage to an unprecedented 54V to be used on bigger construction power tools . Traditionally , when compared with corded power tools , even the most efficient cordless system provided a compromise between increased portability and reduced power , between greater ease-of-use and reduced runtime . DEWALT have recognised the daily frustrations these limitations cause our

end-users , and engineered the DEWALT XR FLEXVOLT system to eliminate any and all restrictions , to provide a cordless system that offers zero compromises . DEWALT XR FLEXVOLT has the dual advantage of unbeatable runtime in all existing DEWALT 18V power tools , as well as the power necessary to access applications completely unheard of for cordless technology . With this one innovation , DEWALT have finally unlocked the full potential of cordless , and now possess the unique ability to power even heavy duty construction power tools – using nothing but a cordless battery .
CORDLESS , HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION POWER TOOLS – ENGINEERED TO THE DEWALT STANDARD
The power of the DEWALT XR FLEXVOLT battery opens up new avenues in cordless , heavy duty construction power tools , and DEWALT are delivering the new XR FLEXVOLT product range to accompany this innovation – completely in keeping with the principles of DEWALT technology : heavy duty solutions that remain compact and durable . The ground-breaking new DEWALT XR FLEXVOLT range is comprised of 8 products designed to completely transform the jobsite of tomorrow : a 54V Grinder , 54V SDS plus Hammer , 54V Circular saw , 54V Alligator saw , 54V Reciprocating Saw , 54V Plunge saw , 54V Table saw , 54V 216mm Mitre saw . These are cordless , heavy duty construction
power tools with all the accuracy , capacity and power of corded . To take the DEWALT XR FLEXVOLT Table saw as just one example , this is a power tool capable of cutting 50m of 19mm ( ¾ ”) OSB from just one charge of a single battery – yet portable enough to be easily moved from room to room , and without the need to search for a power source . This is world-leading performance , from cordless solutions that promise to redefine the very notion of cordless technology .
GAME-CHANGING RESULTS , ZERO COMPROMISES
The DEWALT XR FLEXVOLT battery pack and product range is delivering game-changing technology – the power of corded with the freedom of cordless and none of the drawbacks – the days of compromise are over .
Darren Barber , Marketing Director UK & ROI said , “ To put this simply , the DEWALT XR FLEXVOLT range is the next chapter in cordless technology . DEWALT is launching a range of tools that are not just extremely powerful – they will also provide in excess of a full day ’ s runtime on single charge for most users . The
‘ this is a cordless power as never before , and the jobsite will never be the same again ’
potential for this technology is limitless : for each and every trade . Just one , practical example , is that of a roofer ;
A roofer will traditionally prefer to use cordless technology when working at height to provide freedom of movement and avoid trailing cables , but is forced to carry a corded circular saw to allow the capacity to trim hip joints . The new DEWALT XR FLEXVOLT range not only offers a high capacity circular saw to cut larger timbers , but the battery is also interchangeable with the table saw and mitre saw – allowing true cordless flexibility for his entire tool kit . The battery is also interchangeable with his existing 18V tools , providing the ultimate convenience . This is cordless power as never before , and the jobsite will never be the same again .
