3. DeWalt DC011 Heavy Duty Jobsite Radio/Charger
Like the DC022, DeWalt has built battery charger functionality into another item commonly seen in a jobsite or shop: a radio!
The DC011 is the successor to the tremendously popular DW911 jobsite radio, but is even better! It features a large LCD display, weather-resistant speakers, heavy-duty construction, AM/FM tuner, and an auxiliary port for connecting your iPod or portable CD player.
The DC011 will charge a 7.2v-18v DeWalt battery when plugged in. When located away from an electrical source, the unit be powered by a battery.
DeWalt has wisely not implemented a CD player directly into this unit. Why? DeWalt chose to focus on building a rugged, reliable product and CD players are just too delicate to be built into a product that will most likely be abused.
4. DC545K Adhesive Dispenser
If you’ve ever had to use a caulking gun, you know how tedious they can be to use after an extended period of time. Cordless caulking guns have existed for a while and are a great solution for people who apply a lot of tube-based adhesives. However, most of these systems use special batteries and chargers, making their versatility somewhat limited. Utilizing their proven battery system, the DC545K is a great addition to DeWalt’s cordless tool line. With adjustable speed/flow control, the DC545K is perfect for anyone needing to apply a lot of adhesive who doesn’t want to get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
