Work on building sites often takes place in confined spaces and requires tools for hard-to-reach areas. Compact, flexible and well-thought-out tools are crucial for the efficiency and safety of users in these demanding working conditions. With its 18" DCM200 bandfile, DEWALT has developed a powerful and feature-rich battery-operated alternative to conventional pneumatic bandfiles. In addition to the unmistakable, consistent design language of DEWALT, the tool stands out for its high-quality finish. The file is designed to be extremely compact and ergonomic, and the jury was of the unanimous opinion that it offers a unique user experience. “The product is not only exceptionally pleasant to hold but is also extremely simple to control and operate. All the settings are easy to reach while on the job and it is even possible to change the sanding belt without additional tools.” The cordless battery system benefits user mobility and allows for versatile use. The DEWALT POWERSTACK battery of the file is, in fact, 50 per cent more powerful as well as more compact and lighter than other product models. The contact arm of the bandfile can be rotated by up to 104 degrees for work in restricted and difficult-to-access spaces. In conjunction with the built-in, rotating LED lights, this improves work efficiency even in dark areas with poor visibility. The brushless motor technology of the device furthermore ensures a long lifetime and optimal sanding results when working on steel, wood and plastic. The speed trigger and speed setting dial are easy to reach with one hand for improved power control of the file when sanding. For work on round shapes, the 18" bandfile by DEWALT offers an additional offset sanding arm which can be swapped in without requiring any tools. In short, this is a thoroughly flexible, powerful and ergonomically impressive tool for complex tasks on the building site.
