Challenge Accepted
Skilling Tradespeople
In 2023, we are committing $30 million over a five-year period to fund cash and donate tools for the skilling/reskilling of tradespeople through vocation/trade programs of select nonprofits and U.S. public schools.
As part of its commitment to empower the next generation of tradespeople, DEWALT supports the DEWALT Trades Scholarship, which awards students a $5,000 grant in pursuance of a skilled trade educational program.
The world’s first pouch cell battery for the construction industry, DEWALT POWERSTACK™ is DEWALT’s most powerful(1) and lightest weight(2) battery ever.
It’s not always easy to please pros in the know – and yet the makers of DEWALT tools NEVER BACK DOWN™ from a challenge. Case in point: DEWALT TOUGHSERIES™.
