![]() ![]() ![]() – Today, DEWALT announces the launch of the Adjustable Depth Setter (DWA5537DS) and Dust Collector (DWA500DC), which when used together serve as DEWALT’s proprietary Depth Control and Dust System. For more details read the full press release below and check out more pictures in this Facebook Album. Using a full size vacuum may be over kill and certainly if you are setting anchors up on scaffolding not the most convenient solution. Also the dust and debris created from drilling these holes is not that significant but when drilling overhead can certainly cause the user frustration as the debris will go right in their face & eyes. This means you are not limited to just setting drop-in anchors, which could be a big plus for some. Where the new DeWalt System seems to have several advantages is that with the adjustable depth setting tool you can use standard size SDS-Plus bits. Clearly Drop-In Anchors are on the minds of many manufacturers. They have also redesigned their Smart Drop-in system to visually indicate when the anchor has been set properly which will work with any of the Bosch, DeWalt or Powers systems. Powers Fasteners have also created a Smart Bit which is very similar to the Bosch but works in conjunction with their Smart Setting Tool to more securely hammer the bits into place. They do a terrific job but serve only the one function and don’t address dust collection. Bosch launched the Stop Bit last summer which is designed to provide the perfect drill depth for setting each size drop-in (1/4", 3/8", 1/2"). There have been several new accessories designed to better improve the performance of drop-in anchors. Among those attachments was a pretty innovative dust collection unit for drilling which is why we were pleasantly surprised to see this new drill attachment. We recently saw DeWalt’s new HEPA vacuum and some of their new concrete attachments at the STAFDA trade show last November. ![]()
