Three DeWalt 20V Tools to Add (and Two to Pass On)
The piece surveys DeWalt’s 20V Max lineup, recommending three tools to buy (20V Max XR Planer, 20V Max LED Work Light, and 20V Max XR Oscillating Multitool) and two to avoid (20V Max Caulking Gun and 20V Max Hand Vacuum for Wet and Dry Surfaces). The planer earns praise for precise, high-speed material removal; the LED work light is lauded for brightness, ergonomics, and coverage; and the oscillating multitool is favored for multiple speeds and a universal accessory adapter. The caulking gun is criticized for a finicky speed dial and ineffective anti-drip feature, while the hand vacuum struggles with suction and balance. Ratings cited come from Amazon and Home Depot reviews, with recommendations framed around keeping within the DeWalt ecosystem and matching tools to specific project needs.
