When a demanding job requires an extra boost in performance, DEWALT® XR® FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE™ has it covered. This revolutionary technology has been designed by DEWALT engineers to enable 18V XR tools with FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE to recognise an XR FLEXVOLT battery, unlocking up to 77% more power* when needed to complete more challenging applications.
- Ground-breaking DEWALT® XR® FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE™ technology unlocks up to 77% more power*
- Innovative electronic module enables a DEWALT 18V XR tool to recognise an XR FLEXVOLT battery and unleash additional power when required
- Allows DEWALT 18V XR products to leverage XR FLEXVOLT performance to complete more challenging applications without changing tools
- Increases versatility and potential to tackle different applications by escalating power output accordingly
Not only does this feature deliver additional power when required on tougher jobs, but it increases the versatility and runtime of the equipment, too – allowing an 18V XR product to handle a host of different applications, and significantly enhancing the flexibility and productivity of the professional’s toolkit.
DEWALT has built XR FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE technology into five new high-specification products, which will be available from April 2021. Each model delivers the performance of corded combined with the freedom of cordless operation and is equipped with an electronic module that detects the presence of an XR FLEXVOLT battery, as well as an efficient, brushless, high-power density motor suitable for carrying out heavier applications.
With a no-load speed of 5,800rpm, 64mm depth of cut, outstanding dust management features, tool-free depth adjustment and an electronic safety brake, this rugged circular saw delivers up to 77% more power* when paired with a FLEXVOLT 6Ah battery to tackle tough applications such as rip and bevel cuts and heavy-duty timber cutting.
Engineered for speed and durability, the DCD999 incorporates an improved 3-speed transmission, a robust nitro-carburised 13mm metal chuck with carbide inserts, an extended side handle to manage high-torque applications, and a 3-mode LED spotlight. This versatile hammer drill operates with up to 42% more power* when using a FLEXVOLT 6Ah battery.
Offering up to 50% extra power* for cutting through difficult materials such as heavy-duty scaffold pipe, the DCS386 has been equipped with a crank type drive train for smoother, more efficient operation and reduced vibration, and delivers an impressive no-load speed of 3,000spm.
Part of the DEWALT Perform & Protect™ programme, and therefore boasting advanced user protection, the DCG416 incorporates an integrated Kickback Brake™, E-Brake, E-Clutch™, no-volt and soft-start features, and incorporates a durable paddle switch. Power and performance are enhanced by up to 54%* when combined with a FLEXVOLT 6Ah battery for unbeatable productivity, achieving up to 50% extra material removal.
Jeremy Bretherton, Group Product Manager PPT ANZ, DEWALT said, “Since they first launched, millions of construction professionals have put their trust in DEWALT 18V XR cordless tools to provide the power and runtime they require to complete a multitude of applications on the toughest of jobsites. For many users, our renowned 18V XR system is more than sufficient to satisfy their daily working requirements, but when heavy-duty jobs call for a substantial uplift in power, that’s where the XR FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE comes into play. Thanks to this pioneering innovation, users can benefit from a new threshold of power without the hassle of switching equipment halfway through a project or job. By leveraging DEWALT XR FLEXVOLT technology, our 18V XR tools can now deliver industry-leading efficiency and productivity, providing demanding users with extraordinary performance and versatility from an 18V platform – whenever and wherever they need it.”
