Both kits include a charger, carry MSRPs of $139 and $199 respectively, and remain compatible with over 100 existing V20* tools.
2. Trade-In Promotion at Lowe’s and Ace Hardware
In select in-store events, customers can trade in any qualifying power tool battery to receive a free V20* ADVANCED 3Ah battery and charger kit plus a $50 retailer coupon, valid while supplies last. The promotion aims to accelerate upgrades within the V20* ecosystem and drive traffic to Stanley Black & Decker’s core retail partners.
3. National Mall Restoration Support
Stanley Black & Decker pledged $300,000 in funding and donated DEWALT professional-grade tools for the National Park Service’s restoration of the National Mall.
