DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Dry Hand Vacuum (Tool Only)
Like the Milwaukee and Ryobi jobsite handhelds, this is a construction-site vacuum wearing a handheld body, not a pet or couch tool — DeWalt's own copy calls out drywall dust, small screws, and nails as the target debris, and it's built to meet OSHA Table 1 housekeeping compliance for dust control on the job. It runs on DeWalt's 20V MAX platform as a bare tool (no battery or charger included, DCB205 sold separately), and the 46 CFM motor is the strongest published airflow figure among the handhelds on this site. A HEPA filter is standard, and it ships genuinely well-equipped with six attachments: extension tube, floor nozzle, flexible hose, crevice nozzle, gulper brush, and round brush, plus a belt hook and accessory holder for keeping it all together on a jobsite. DeWalt rates runtime at up to 21.4 minutes and about 15 tank fills per charge on its DCB205 battery, though it doesn't publish an actual tank capacity in ounces or liters. At 6.9 lbs it's noticeably heavier than a consumer dustbuster, and the price climbs well past $150 once you add a compatible battery and charger if you don't already own DeWalt 20V MAX tools. There's no motorized brush of any kind, so this isn't a pet-hair machine despite the handheld form factor.
