kjones Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 DC is for DeWalt Cordless, the DW if for corded tools. DCD is for cordless too. I am not sure what second D designates, but it is still for cordless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framer Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 DC is for DeWalt Cordless, the DW if for corded tools. DCD is for cordless too. I am not sure what second D designates, but it is still for cordless. and then you also have just D like the d24000 tile saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deedub35 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 DC is for DeWalt Cordless, the DW if for corded tools. Not 100% true. I have two DW056 impact drivers and a DW059 impact wrench. All are 18V cordless tools. Plus I have the DW082 plumb bob, DW087 line laser, and DW060 tile laser. All those are battery powered.

chevyboy89 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I was wondering because I have a dc988 and a dw988 xrp hammer\drill driver. Both being cordless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDamericano Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I was under the impression that the DW cordless tools were of the older generation. But I'm sure there's more to it than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely correct. DW was once used on cordless as well. I am not sure when the DC designation began being used, or when/why they added the DCD, but DC and DCD is now for DeWalt cordless.
