DEWALT introduces the 60V MAX* In-Line Stud & Joist Drill with E-Clutch® System (DCD470) at the 2018 Specialty Tools and Fasteners Distributors Association (STAFDA) Convention in Phoenix, Arizona. Part of the growing line of FLEXVOLT® Tools, Batteries, and Accessories, the brushless 60V MAX* In-Line Stud & Joist Drill offers powerful, high-speed drilling and long runtime.

The 60V MAX* In-Line Stud & Joist Drill with E-Clutch® System is a high torque right angle drill with fast application speeds. Part of the DEWALT PERFORM & PROTECT™ line of tools the drill features E-Clutch® System and a mechanical clutch for control in high or low speed. In high and low speed, the DEWALT E-Clutch® System senses tool motion and eliminates the torque when binding is detected by stopping the motor. The user is notified that the E-Clutch® System has been activated through an illuminated LED light.

The 60V MAX* In-Line Stud & Joist Drill also features the 2-speed Quick-Shift which allows the user to easily shift between two speeds without having to feather the trigger. The drill also includes a 2-position side handle, a shallow nose to get into tight spaces, a 1/2″ keyed chuck and chuck key holder, an LED to illuminate work areas, a knuckle guard to help protect the user’s hand, and Bluetooth® Tool Connect™ Tag (sold separately) mount. With a rounded top handle and rubber handle over-mold, it is easy for the user to find the right grip.
