I looked over at my phone to see the time, and what do I find? An Amazon alert that something from my wishlist was on sale.
This Dewalt DGC530 USB charging tool backpack is on sale as part of a Lightning Deal, for $53.62. You save a few dollars off the regular price of $60.

The cool thing about this new Dewalt tool backpack is that you can pop in a 20V Max battery pack, and there’s a built in 2-port USB charger, which can recharge your tablet, phone, or USB-chargeable device or instrument.
This was on my “this is a cool took I want to post about” list, which is why it was in my Amazon wishlist. While I still want to write a full post about it, the time sensitive nature of this deal means I don’t have much time to think things over, look at competitive offerings, and other things I do when writing up a full preview.
What I can say is that I think it’s a good enough deal for me to stop what I was doing to get the quick deal post out.
The deal ends 5pm ET today, 11/21/2016, unless supplies run out sooner.

It features a 17-pocket tool wall, for hand tool storage, 3 pouches sized for common electronic devices, and 3 outer pouches.
If this bag doesn’t really do it for you, keep in mind that you can buy a USB power adapter to turn any Dewalt 20V Max battery into a device charger. The USB charger is $30 and eligible for Amazon’s $25 off $100+ promo.

that bag looks like it would fall apart within a year, But then again, i’ve never handled one
Mr. Creek
Agreed.

This is totally off subject in terms of the backpack but relatable insofar as an Amazon deal and was looking for a solid opinion.
I can get the Makita xdt12z for $188 via the Amazon $25 off deal….. Is the hype around this thing worth $188 in your opinion/s? Or are they going to replace it next year with one that will make coffee for me?

I have a number of tool bags and I use Makita so this is a much better deal – Makita ADP05 LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Power Source, 18V, 2 USB high power, for ~$20.
The ADP06 is the one for 12V.
Met, I would say the Makita xdt12z is a good tool – brushless, 4 speeds.
I like my 4 mode BTP140, new version is XPT03, for certain tasks like when I need to pre-drill screw holes then drive the screws and would rather switch hex bits rather than have 2 tools. The BTP140 isn’t Yellow Star so I can only use max 3 Ah batteries. 4 mode is: Impact driver, Hammer Drill, Drill, Screwdriver

I’ve often wondered about that tool. As I have yet to come across any one who has bought it.
Does the newer one take 4, 5 and 6ah?
