DeWalt POWERSHIFT line has been honored by Fast Company’s 2024 Innovation By Design Awards – the only tool manufacturer recognized.
“DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ named an honorable mention amongst thousands of applicants across more than 50 categories. DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ represents the next stage of DEWALT’s innovation journey to deliver comprehensive end-to-end workflow solutions. The groundbreaking electrified equipment system was recognized for breakthrough design allowing users to transition away from gas-powered equipment.”
Emily Cahn, Director of Public Relations
As the only tool manufacturer represented in the program, DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ was recognized in the User Experience category honoring projects that consider a user’s journey, from beginning to end.
The DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ system, made up of six concrete tools, was designed to meet the critical needs of concrete professionals – power, runtime, and ergonomics – allowing users to transition away from gas-powered equipment, without compromising efficiency and performance.
“As the next frontier of jobsite electrification, DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ optimizes the workflow of the concrete trade and concrete contractors by enhancing the user experience of demanding, high-intensity work on the jobsite,” said Frank Mannarino, President & General Manager of DEWALT, Stanley Black & Decker. “Recognition from industry-leading voices like Fast Company validates our focus on user-first, end-to-end design as we continue to innovate for the jobsite of the future.”
Emily Cahn, Director of Public Relations
The system streamlines the full concrete application through the use of the same DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ 554 WH battery and high-speed charger across all tools. It is backed by DEWALT’s powerhouse portfolio of complimentary tools, accessories, and technology. Fast Company’s 2024 Innovation By Design Award is the second industry accolade DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ has received since its unveiling at World of Concrete in January.
With this new line, Powershift remains unaffected by any changes to DeWalt’s 20V line due to its distinct design and functionality. While both lines may share some compatible components, POWERSHIFT operates independently, ensuring consistent performance and compatibility despite updates or altercations to the 20V products. This separation allows POWERSHIFT users to continue using their tools without concerns about the evolving 20V platform.
