Dewalt now offers 3 new backpacks with USB ports. These can charge your smartphone or tablet while on the move. They have the DeWalt DGC530 USB Charging Tool Back Pack with 23 pockets that retails for around and they have a couple of step up models a step way up in the price department backpack theDeWalt DGC533 33 Pocket USB Charging Tool Backpack which retails for around and the next model up theDeWalt DGCL33 33-Pocket Lighted USB Charging Tool Backpack which is basically the same thing as the DCG533 but with the addition of a built in flexible LED light which retails for a hefty at the time of writing.
- Use your DeWalt 20V MAX Lithium ion battery and our internal custom design battery dock as a USB charging source
- USB charging battery dock simultaneously charge 2 devices via USB ports, maximum 2 amps shared output
- Three internal charging wall pockets for tablet, phone and/or camera
- To prevent battery over-depletion, low battery cut-off protection monitors the battery voltage
- 23 to 33 depending on the model. Multi-use pockets inside, 3 outside help organize a variety of hand tools
Each backpack has plenty of interior and external pockets. All three backpacks use 20V batteries to power their USB ports. However, you will need to bring your own Dewalt 20V battery. These backpacks are bare tools and do not include a charger.
Id say the best value among the three is the DCG530 which retails for around and Im not sure why the other two command much higher asking prices. Sure they offer more pockets but in my opinion is not enough to warrant double the price in the case of the DCG533 model which only seems to offer 10 more pockets and theDGCL33 is priced a bit more at and only offers 10 more pockets and a built in light. Dewalt enthusiasts will still enjoy these, even though the price increase won’t stop them.
