Heads UP! DeWalt rebrands Flexvolt Advantage and Power Detect as XR

Heads Up! DEWALT has quietly phased out the Flexvolt Advantage and Power Detect lines, merging them into the NEW XR lineup. But here's the twist - their website doesn't tell you which tools are genuinely new and which are just rebranded. 🤔

Dude, you’re amazing. It’s so confusing sorting through years of reviews online and trying to figure out which tool people are talking about. Thank you so much!

I wish you 'no rafter hook' on recip saw reviewers would actually use it in an attic. With the battery installed, the battery becomes the rafter hook. Hangs really nice, especially with the larger batteries.

So, are advantage and power detect virtually the same since day one then?

So the DCS590 has no improvements over the DCS573, just different branding? Asking because the DCS573B can be found $100 less than the DCS590B. Thanks

I was wondering about the new DCS 590 and looking forward to a review and thinking it was more gutsy than the Flexvolt advantage on xr 20 volt battery as they claim it puts out around 1700 watts !

I hope they come up with new line of 12v tools. Current lineup is great, but need expanding. I am on xtreme and 20v dewalt platforms, but this much closer to moving away from xtreme to m12.

I don't get how this was confusing before. I'm not excited about this, it will be less choice for the consumer and may allow them to push new mediocre performance tools.

Honestly, Dewalt was on crack for branding them the way they did and I hear that they separated them between lowes and home depot? What a mess. Sanity prevails at last. It's better that it's unified and coherent.

Cool that I bought all those Flexvolt tools in 2016 and not new one since....Guess I'll switch teams as these die off.
