Optimizing Productivity on the Jobsite: DEWALT® Announces Extensive Range of New Innovations in Hand Tools and Accessories Designed for Trade Professionals

DEWALT, a Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) brand and leader in total jobsite solutions, today announced a new lineup of innovations in its hand tools and accessories category designed to empower tradespeople on the jobsite by optimizing user workflow and productivity. New product offerings, anchored by the 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter and additions to the IMPACT CONNECT™ System, provide solutions for a variety of trades including mechanical, electrical, plumbing and automotive.

“The expansive new roster of groundbreaking hand tools and accessories continues to strengthen DEWALT’s ecosystem of tools and technology that provides end-to-end solutions,” said Dave Veprek, Vice President, Hand Tools, Accessories & Storage, DEWALT. “In alignment with DEWALT’s 100-year legacy of productivity and performance, each product is designed to deliver on the demands of trade professionals, enhancing their workflows every day on the job.”

Introducing the 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter

With a lift-load capacity of up to 265 lbs. max in horizontal lifting and up to 132 lbs. max in vertical lifting, the 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter (DCE592) utilizes a powerful electric vacuum pump to help maximize user control during lifting, carrying or installation applications. The Lifter can be used with a wide range of heavy construction materials including glass, tile, metal, as well as semi-porous materials like wood, drywall, concrete and natural stones. Powered by a DEWALT 20V MAX* battery, the tool offers generous runtime to optimize productivity throughout the workday.

The 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter is equipped with a built-in pressure sensor that automatically controls the pump, helping to maintain the vacuum grip. It also features a digital pressure gauge that communicates pressure developed as well as an audio alarm alerting users when battery level is low, and four metal lift-strap attachment hooks allowing for use of lifting straps (straps sold separately).

The 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter will be available as a bare unit (DCE592B, battery sold separately) or kitted (DCE592D1, battery included) in December where DEWALT products are sold.
