TOWSON, MD (October 29, 2018) – 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.

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.
