DEWALT, a Stanley Black & Decker brand offering total job-site solutions, has released two new drill/driver products: the new 20V MAX* XR Brushless 1/2-in. Drill/Driver and 20V MAX* XR Brushless 1/2-in. Hammer Drill/Driver.

Each drill’s high-output brushless motor provides users with up to 40% more unit watts out in a compact design boasting a tool head that’s a 1/2-in. shorter in length. These features allow for work in confined, hard to reach areas without sacrificing performance.

“DEWALT is committed to delivering new, innovative solutions that meet the demands of those in the construction industry and the trades,” said Brandon Stumpf, senior product manager, Stanley Black & Decker. “The upgrades to these latest DEWALT drills reflect our promise to our users to make even the most essential tools more powerful and ergonomic, ultimately contributing to more productive job sites.”

Engineered for optimal speed, control and precision, the drills feature a high-speed transmission using a variable trigger and two speed settings, as well as high-bit retention with a 1/2-in. metal ratcheting chuck.

• The 20V MAX* XR Brushless 1/2-in. Drill/Driver completes a wide range of drilling jobs with up to 2,000 rpm in second speed when drilling into construction materials.
• The 20V MAX* XR Brushless 1/2-in. Hammer Drill/Driver quickly drills into masonry material with up to 34,000 bpm through an integrated hammer mode function.

Each drill features an adjustable, three-position, three-mode LED light producing up to 70 lumens to enhance visibility. This includes an LED spotlight mode and a 20-minute shut-off function that allows for extended work time in dimly lit work areas.

The tools also accept the Tool Connect chip (DCE042, sold separately) that syncs with the Tool Connect Site Manager app for seamless worksite asset management.

Both tools are designed to help users get more done with ease by ensuring optimized performance and runtime.
