Using cordless tools from multiple manufacturers generally means carrying around multiple battery chargers, which can take up valuable space in the lockbox and truck. Equipped with the right adapter, the 10C Crew Charge and Pro Charge bring batteries from most major power-tool makers back to a full charge in 15 minutes. What's more, they can revive seven out of 10 batteries that would otherwise end up in the recycling bin, says the company. The four-port Crew Charge costs $400 and the single-port Pro Charge $130. Adapters cost $20 each. 800/984-3086. More

- DeWALT Collaborates with Ford MOTOR COMPANY To Offer Tool Link

DeWALT collaborated with Ford and ThingMagic, the industry expert on embedded RFID technology, to create Tool Link. Tool Link allows end users to track assets and control inventory, ensuring crews arrive and leave the jobsite with the right tools and materials for their job. The system includes rugged reliable labels that allow the truck operators to tag, scan and track expensive tools, equipment and other assets. When the vehicle is running, a pair of RFID antennas, mounted in corrosion and impact-resistant housings on the inside of the pickup box, scan the box for tagged items on a pre-programmed inventory list. This data is transmitted to a reader mounted inside the cab and displayed on the in-dash computer screen, alerting the driver if any inventoried tools are not loaded on the truck. More
