DEWALT® LAUNCHES TWO NEW VARIABLE SPEED REVERSING 4,500 RPM DRYWALL SCRUGUNS WITH SPEED, ERGONOMICS AND FLEXIBILITY CONTRACTORS DEMAND

TOWSON, Md. (June 1, 2010) — D EWALT announced today the launch of two new 4,500 RPM Variable Speed Reversing (VSR) Drywall Scruguns (DW253 and DW253WT). The new models offer professionals features ideal for a variety of applications, including drywall installation, steel stud framing, remodeling and other fastening applications. While the DW253 includes a 12-foot cord, the DW253WT offers users a 50-foot twist lock cord.

“D EWALT provides solutions for professional contractors that are designed to increase jobsite productivity and meet even the highest performance standards,†said Eric Suro, product manager, D EWALT. “After multiple rounds of field research and conversations with professionals, we manufactured two new Drywall Scruguns that deliver the speed, ergonomics and flexibility contractors demand.â€

The Drywall Scruguns feature an all-metal nosecone for proven durability and user acceptance. The models, which complement the existing range of scruguns currently offered by D EWALT, also include a 0-4500 RPM VSR motor. The 12-foot cord on the DW253 is four feet longer than the cords on most current models for better reach in higher applications.

In addition to durability and performance enhancements, the scruguns increase operator comfort. At 2.9 pounds, the scruguns are the lightest D EWALT scruguns on the market and still provide the same grip and handling characteristics of previous models.

The new 4,500 RPM VSR Drywall Scruguns will be available in mid-May at construction supply stores. The DW253 is expected to retail for approximately $99.00, and the DW253WT is expected to retail for approximately $119.00. Both models are backed by D EWALT’s one-year free service agreement, three-year limited warranty and 90-day money back guarantee.
