There’s a secret to how pros successfully tackle projects: tools that power the possibilities. Whether the contractor or tradesperson in your life is looking to expand their toolbox or upgrade the tools they use every day on the job, these are the go-to products that the pros use to get the job done right the first time.
20V MAX* XR® 5.0Ah Starter Kit with 2 Batteries
A power tool is only as good as what powers it. That’s especially true for heavy-duty tools that need a power source that’s up to the task. Smart contractors and construction professionals reach for the DEWALT 20V MAX* XR® 5.0Ah lithium-ion battery pack. The kit comes with a soft bag for storage, a charger, and two batteries that offer an impressive lifespan.
12 in. Double-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw
Miter saws are crucial tools for tackling carpentry and a variety of woodwork. The sliding rails on this compound miter saw mean that it can cut wider boards (non-sliders can only cut boards a few inches smaller than their blades). This powerful 15-amp saw can cut boards up to 14 inches wide, and it's the ideal companion for big jobs like flooring, cabinets, moldings, and baseboards.
8-1/4 in. Compact Jobsite Table Saw
Step it up with a table saw worthy of a jobsite but compact enough for the garage. Not only is a table saw a versatile and convenient tool—they can make precise cuts on wood and handle sheets of plywood for everything from flooring to cabinet work—but portable models can also be moved around to anywhere they’re needed. This 8-1/4 in. table saw is durable and stable, the rack-and-pinion fence allows for quick and easy adjustments, and it has the capacity to rip 4' x 8' sheets of plywood.
20V MAX* XR® Brushless Cordless ½ in. Drill/Driver Kit
This cordless drill marries ease with other coveted features: a longer-lasting brushless motor, half-inch chuck, a comfy grip, a 70-lumen LED light, and enough torque to help pros get more done in less time.
20V MAX* XR® Brushless Cordless ¼ in. 3-Speed Impact Driver Kit
If the job requires larger or longer screws, like in framing jobs, an impact driver is key. The 20V MAX* XR**®** Impact Driver has a staggering 1,825 ft-lb of torque and offers three different speeds to match the task at hand.
ATOMIC™ 20V MAX* Brushless Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool
An oscillating multi-tool is kind of like a secret weapon. This one is capable of cutting through all kinds of materials—wood, drywall, metal, cement, fiberglass—and due to its small size and cordless functionality, it can fit in small and tricky spaces that other bulky power tools can’t access. It’ll tackle just about any job, from trimming pipes and screws to sanding and to cutting openings in drywall. The Quick-Change™ accessory system's blades are easy to switch and don’t require wrenches to do so. Additionally, the on-tool LED illuminates dark workspaces.
