TOWSON, Md., Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — DEWALT, a Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) brand and leader in total jobsite solutions, today announced a new lineup of innovations in its hand tools and accessories category designed to empower tradespeople on the jobsite by optimizing user workflow and productivity.

Introducing the 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter

With a lift-load capacity of up to 265 lbs. max in horizontal lifting and up to 132 lbs. max in vertical lifting, the 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter (DCE592) utilizes a powerful electric vacuum pump to help maximize user control during lifting, carrying or installation applications.

Powered by a DEWALT 20V MAX* battery, the tool offers generous runtime to optimize productivity throughout the workday.

The 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter is equipped with a built-in pressure sensor that automatically controls the pump, helping to maintain the vacuum grip. It also features a digital pressure gauge that communicates pressure developed as well as an audio alarm alerting users when battery level is low, and four metal lift-strap attachment hooks allowing for use of lifting straps (straps sold separately).

The 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter will be available as a bare unit (DCE592B, battery sold separately) or kitted (DCE592D1, battery included) in December where DEWALT products are sold.
