DeWalt goes brushless

DeWalt unveiled its XR line of cordless power tools with brushless motors — including a drill/driver and two impact drivers — Wednesday at a media event in Towson, Md.

The company introduced a three-speed brushless impact driver, model DCF895, last year, which now joins the XR line. The new tools are the DCD790D2 compact drill driver and DCF886D2 and DFC886M2 impact drivers with 2.0 and 4.0 Ah battery packs, respectively.

There’s also a new hammer drill, model DCD795D2.

More information will be available in the June edition of Woodshop News.
