DeWalt XR Cordless Tools

The DeWalt XR Cordless Tools Range at Tooled-Up.com

DeWalt XR is the company's professional cordless system, built around 18v XR lithium-ion batteries and, on most tools, brushless motors. The DeWalt XR Cordless Tools range at Tooled-Up.com brings together drills, saws, fixing tools, grinders, wrenches and specialist site tools, all designed to share the same battery platform. A joiner, electrician, plumber or builder can build a full kit around one set of batteries and chargers.

The range is aimed at tradespeople who need dependable power on site without a trailing 240v lead, and at serious DIYers who want tools that will last. DeWalt's 54v Flexvolt batteries also fit its 18v XR tools, so the system can grow with the work you take on. Tooled-Up.com stocks both bare units and kits, so you can start with a complete set or add to batteries you already own.

What's in the DeWalt XR Cordless Tools Range

The range covers most of the jobs a working tradesperson meets in a day:

• Drills, Combi Drills and SDS Drills: drilling and driving in timber, metal and masonry, from first-fix screwing to drilling into concrete.
• 18v Saws and Circular Saws: fast, straight cuts in sheet material and timber. The DeWalt DCS525 brushless plunge saw 165mm suits accurate work on worktops, doors and sheet materials.
• Oscillating multi tools: the DCS359 and DCS358 brushless OIS multi tools handle flush cutting, sanding, scraping and cutting in tight spaces.
• Sanders: the DCW211 (125mm) and DCW230 (150mm) random orbital sanders give a fine finish on woodwork and refurbishment jobs.
• Nail Guns: from the DCN210S 18 gauge brad nailer for trim and second-fix work to the DCK246P2 brushless nail gun twin pack for framing and first-fix carpentry.
• Impact Wrenches and Ratchet Wrenches: high-torque fastening and quick nut and bolt work. The DCF512E (1/2"), DCF513E (3/8") and DCF514E (1/4") extended ratchets reach awkward spots, while the DCF514 and DCF520 combination drive ratchet suit compact, fast-paced assembly and maintenance.
• Angle Grinders: cutting and grinding metal, masonry and tile without a power lead.
• Specialist tools: the DCE154 brushless copper tube cutter for plumbers, the DCLE35122GD rotary laser level for setting out, and the DCCS1100 concrete chemical sprayer.
• Power Tool Kits, Battery Packs and Battery Chargers: ready-made combinations, plus the extra batteries and chargers that keep a team working all day.

Key Features

Brushless motor technology

Many tools in the range, including the multi tools, plunge saw, nail guns, copper tube cutter and ratchet wrenches, use brushless motors. These are more efficient, which means longer run time per charge, less heat and less wear on moving parts.

One battery system

XR batteries move between tools, so you can swap a pack from a drill to a saw without waiting for a recharge. Flexvolt 54v batteries also work with 18v XR tools, which gives you a longer-lasting option for heavy-duty cutting and grinding.

Built for site conditions

DeWalt designs XR tools for daily professional use, with tough housings, practical ergonomics and features that suit working at height, in cramped voids or on a busy site. Compact bodies and extended-reach options, such as the extended ratchet wrenches, help you work in tight spaces.

Warranty

DeWalt power tools come with a three year commercial warranty, subject to registration.

DeWalt XR Cordless Tools Applications

Carpenters and joiners can fit doors, cut worktops, fix architrave and skirting, and frame partitions using the saws, sanders and nail guns. Electricians and plumbers benefit from SDS drills for fixings, multi tools for cutting in confined areas, and the copper tube cutter for clean pipework. Mechanics, fitters and maintenance engineers will find the impact wrenches and ratchet wrenches useful for fastening and servicing. Builders and groundworkers can use the angle grinders, SDS drills and rotary laser level for setting out and structural work, while the concrete chemical sprayer supports specialist concrete jobs.

Because the tools are cordless, they also suit loft conversions, refurbishments, new-builds and any job where mains power is limited or unavailable.

Compatibility and Accessories

The DeWalt XR Cordless Tools range is built around the 18v XR battery. Any compatible battery fits any XR tool, so the most economical way to expand your kit is often to buy bare units. Extra Battery Packs and Battery Chargers let you keep one pack charging while another is in use. Power Tool Kits offer a convenient starting point with tools, batteries and a charger in one purchase.

Accessories matter as much as the tools. Check blade sizes, sanding pads, nail sizes and ratchet drive sizes against your intended work before ordering. Tooled-Up.com lists each product's specification so you can match tools and consumables correctly.
