A reader wrote in, asking if recent rumors about the Dewalt FlexVolt cordless power tool system were true.

I see over on YouTube some folks are saying that DeWalt is doing away with the 60V FlexVolt line of tools and batteries. Their OPT line is strong and I can’t imagine DeWalt would go to the 20V platform for those outdoor items. Can you dig in and do a story on this “rumor”. The other interesting aspect of this rumor is that Lowes is going back to DeWalt OPT.
I haven’t seen these rumors yet and would have chalked it up to sensationalism or maybe theories about limited observations.
Still, it seemed like a good idea to ask Dewalt to comment about the matter.
Dewalt replied, saying:
The DEWALT 60V and FLEXVOLT battery platform, including outdoor power equipment, continues to be a focus in our product lineup. We have multiple new product launches in the works and are showcasing a full range of 60V tools and FLEXVOLT batteries at WOC this week.
DEWALT outdoor power equipment is currently available at Home Depot, ACE, Tractor Supply, as well as many independent retailers.
There you have it – the Dewalt FlexVolt cordless power tool and battery platform is a continued focus for the brand, and more products are on the way.
That seems like a pretty clear answer to me.
