  • Carpenters – Use Milwaukee screw guns for assembling cabinets, framing structures, and securing wood panels.
  • Electricians – Ideal for securing outlet covers, installing light fixtures, and assembling electrical panels.
  • Drywall Installers – Depend on Milwaukee screw guns for quick and efficient drywall installation with consistent results.
  • DIY Enthusiasts – Perfect for assembling furniture, hanging shelves, and general home repairs.

One of the biggest launches in the company’s history was in April 2016 when DeWalt debuted its FLEXVOLT hybrid battery pack that switches between 18V and 54V depending on the tool.
The voltage is determined by communication between the battery and the tool.

DeWalt Tools sponsored NASCAR driver Matt Kenseth from 1999 through to the season of 2009.
During this time, Kenseth won 18 races, the 2000Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year Award, 2003 Sprint Cup Series Championship, 2004 Sprint Cup All Star Race and the 2009 Daytona 500.
In July 2009, DeWalt announced that they would not be renewing their sponsorship deal with Kenseth and Roush Fenway Racing due to the poor economic conditions in the construction industry. DeWalt had also sponsored MotoGP rider, Ben Spies, for the racing season of 2010.
DeWalt returned to NASCAR sponsorship in 2011, but on the #9 Richard Petty Motorsports Ford Fusion driven by Marcos Ambrose.
This sponsorship ended after 2014, when Ambrose departed the Sprint Cup Series, with DeWalt choosing to re unite with Kenseth, who now drove the #20 for Joe Gibbs Racing, sponsoring six races in 2015, ten races in 2016 and 15 races in 2017.
