About DeWalt
American manufacturer DeWalt has been making power tools since 1923. In nearly a century of activity, the brand has built a reputation for solidity among professional users. In recent years, DeWalt has managed to break new ground with innovative total concepts such as DeWalt Flexvolt and DeWalt Perform&Protect.
Why DeWalt? A selection of the answers to our question.
Dakwerken Antwerpen: “They are reliable products that make the job easier, with powerful and easy-to-handle batteries. They last a long time, can take a beating and continue to function in the rain. These factors are very important in our sector.”
Klus en onderhoudsbedrijf Gelderloos: ‘First of all, of course, because I visit many construction sites and where many of the green suitcases are seen, so if everyone already has that, I want to distinguish myself from the rest. I have a sole proprietorship, and DeWalt’s choice was actually an easy one, striking and powerful machines, everything on one battery, and if you have enough batteries, you can get through the day just fine.’
Otter Timmerwerken: “Dewalt has nice reliable machines and batteries, but my colleague’s Makita set is certainly not inferior. The moment you register yourself at the Chamber of Commerce and you start your company, you make a choice in tools. I’m not saying that Dewalt is better or less than any other brand, but after three years of heavy use, the devices start to falter, and the batteries go bad. That’s why I buy everything new every three years. The reason I buy Dewalt again is because my nail gun and my broadshooters are also from Dewalt. In practice, you only use these machines a few times a year, so they wear out less quickly, but you do want to keep the accompanying batteries. That’s why I keep repurchasing Dewalt.”
Klusbedrijf Pieter: “Because of the extensive range with exchangeable batteries and the good quality and service. Once you start with a brand, you want to stay with it because of using the same batteries. And also for the distinctive colour. Most contractors I work for have a different brand, which allows me to distinguish my own stuff.”
VP-Technics: ‘Top material for a normal price.”
Renovatiewerken Decock: “Solid material for an affordable price, and one cordless system with exchangeable batteries.”
