DeWalt cordless tools

**Peter57** · 20th February 2016, 04:22 PM

It's time to buy a new cordless drill and impact driver. I'm looking at the 18v system and have been checking out the U.S. products as well.

As far as I can tell, the 20v tag is just marketing hype. The batteries are 20V when not under load but 18V when in use. Has anybody investigated whether or not the American skins can be used on Aussie batteries?

cheers,
Peter

Yup. They are exactly the same. I buy all of my dewalt from the US. Infact i just got delivered a 20v sliding mitre saw. Awesome [emoji2] .

I should add too if you put a multimeter on the 18v battery they show around 20.9 volts at rest

G'day Peter,

Cheers, Peter

PS - I've bought Milwaukee M18 batteries & skins for the USA & locally and all have been interchangeable....so I suspect Dewalt would be same Cordless Tools | DEWALT Cordless Power Tools & Tool Kits
