Professional Drilling and Grinding Power on the 20V MAX Platform

PERFORM & PROTECT is DeWalt safety technology built into select grinders and other high-risk tools. It includes kickback brake that stops disc rotation within two seconds of a bind event, E-CLUTCH System that detects rotation stalls, and ANTI-ROTATION SYSTEM that provides improved grip during stall events. These features significantly reduce injury risk without sacrificing tool performance.

FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE tools are designed to recognize when a 60V MAX FLEXVOLT battery is attached and automatically increase power output by up to 54% compared to operation with a standard 20V MAX battery. The same tool delivers more cutting speed and torque with FLEXVOLT packs, giving professionals the choice between compact convenience and maximum performance depending on the task.

Brushless motors eliminate physical carbon brushes that wear against the commutator in traditional motors. This removes a wear component, increases efficiency by reducing friction and electrical loss, and enables smarter electronic control of the motor. Results include 50% longer motor life, more runtime per charge, and better power-to-size ratios that enable more compact tool designs.

Hammer drills are necessary for drilling into concrete, masonry, brick, and stone. The hammering action breaks up the material while the rotation clears debris. For wood, metal, and plastic, use rotary-only mode - hammer action would damage these materials without improving cutting. Most DeWalt hammer drills offer mode selection to function as standard drills when needed.

Four and a half inch grinders offer better maneuverability and control for detail work, weld grinding, and edge preparation. Five and six inch grinders cover more surface area faster for production grinding and cutting. Larger seven and nine inch grinders tackle heavy structural work but become impractical for precision tasks. Most professionals keep multiple sizes available for different applications.

Kickback occurs when a spinning disc binds in a cut and the tool rotates violently. Prevention starts with proper technique - never twist the disc in a cut, maintain firm two-handed grip, and allow the disc to reach full speed before contact. PERFORM & PROTECT grinders add electronic detection that brakes the disc within seconds of a bind event, significantly reducing injury severity if kickback occurs.

POWER DETECT tools automatically sense the capacity of the attached battery and optimize performance accordingly. With higher-capacity batteries, the tool delivers more power. With compact batteries, it manages output to maximize runtime. This intelligent system ensures you get the best possible performance regardless of which compatible battery you attach, without manual settings.
