DEWALT’s TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 adjustable work light delivers up to 4,000 lumens from two pivoting LED heads and runs on 20V MAX or FLEXVOLT batteries. The bare DWST08062 is listed at $199.00 USD by US retailer Toolnut, while DEWALT Canada’s page shows no CAD price or stock status.
What do the DWST08062 and DWST08060 offer?
DEWALT Canada lists the DWST08062 as a cordless adjustable work light with natural white light and 7 brightness levels. It ships as a bare tool, so the battery and charger are sold separately. DEWALT states a 3 Year Limited Warranty.
The companion DWST08060 adds an open storage tote with a folding handle. DEWALT’s US page says it can run from a 20V MAX or FLEXVOLT battery or from a standard AC outlet, with the cord sold separately.
How long does the battery last?
DEWALT says runtime reaches up to 3 hours per charge with both lights at maximum brightness on a DCB205 5Ah battery. That figure comes from the maker, and real runtime will depend on the pack and the brightness chosen. The DWST08062 works with 20V MAX and FLEXVOLT batteries, and DEWALT excludes the DCB615.
Compact Equipment Magazine adds that FlexVolt packs up to 12Ah are supported, and that LED indicators show brightness, AC power and battery status.
Where can you put it?
DEWALT describes 360 degree coverage whether the light stands on its own, stacks on TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 toolboxes with the auto-connect latch, mounts on a tripod sold separately, or hangs from its folding wire hook. A folding carry handle is built in, and Compact Equipment Magazine mentions side slots for mounting tools.
Toolnut gives the height as 10.9 inches and says each head produces 2,000 lumens. Weight is not listed by DEWALT or Toolnut.
What does it cost, and when can you buy it?
Toolnut lists the DWST08062 at $199.00 USD with free shipping, but shows it out of stock and says it ships in 14 to 30 days. Compact Equipment Magazine reports an October release at retailers that sell DEWALT. DEWALT Canada does not show a price or stock status, so no Canadian price can be given.
Who it suits
- Tradesperson on the DEWALT 20V system: if you already carry DCB205 packs, the bare tool is the logical buy and it stacks with your TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 boxes.
- Crew lead on early dark winter job sites: the two heads and 360 degree coverage cover a work area, but check the battery runtime against your shift.
- Homeowner with a garage or workshop: the AC option on the DWST08060 avoids draining packs, though the cord is a separate purchase.
- Someone on another battery brand: you would need DEWALT batteries and a charger, which changes the real cost.
What should you do next?
Check the DEWALT Canada product page for the DWST08062 and the DWST08060 for a CAD price and local stock before ordering from a US store, since duties, shipping and warranty terms for cross-border purchases are not covered by the sources.
