Screwfix Powers up a Top Brand Exclusive

YEOVIL, England, June 29, 2011 -

Tough on the outside and intelligent
on the inside, the eagerly awaited DeWalt 14.4V XR range, with its
unique 1.5Ah lithium ion batteries, has landed exclusively on the
shelves of specialist trade only supplier Screwfix.

Available, over the phone, online and in Screwfix’s 168 trade
counters across the UK for next day delivery or collection, the new
XR range features the latest technology from DeWalt, bringing smart
innovation to Screwfix’s already extensive href="www.screwfix.com/c/tools/power-tools/cat830692">power
tool selection.

The new range boasts extreme run time, increased efficiency and
improved performance. By constantly monitoring tool and battery
operation the intelligent electronic module and switch maximises
performance and prevents damage caused by overload or temperature
build up, therefore increasing the lifetime of the battery and the
tool.

The exclusive 14.4V range at Screwfix includes a drill driver
and compact hammer drill, both featuring a two speed transmission
for longer runtime and tool life. For a speedy one-handed bit
change, both tools have 13mm keyless chucks with an automatic
spindle lock, and for optimised precision, the 14 position
adjustable torque provides just that.

Also featured in the range is a compact impact driver which is
currently the most compact on the market. With an improved
ergonomic design which assists driving, and a drop-in keyless hex
driver, it is perfect for quick one-handed bit changes and is also
available in a twin pack with the hammer drill.

The whole range comes with 2 x 1.5Ah top quality Li-Ion
batteries with an easy slide function for fast battery changes, and
each XR tool has a time delayed LED light for added visibility in
areas which lack light. The battery charger included with the
products will support all Li-Ion batteries, no matter what voltage,
and to cover all bases, DeWalt’s XR range comes with a three year
warranty.
