Building for the Future: DEWALT at World of Concrete 2025

DEWALT, a renowned leader in total jobsite solutions under Stanley Black & Decker, has recently unveiled new findings at the World of Concrete 2025, highlighting the industry's growing readiness for electrification. The 2025 DEWALT Power Pulse Survey, which sampled over 2,200 construction professionals, revealed that a significant portion of the workforce is poised to adopt electric-powered tools in the near future.

Survey Insights

According to the survey, 66% of construction managers and 59% of skilled workers believe that complete electrification on jobsites could be just two years away. This progressive outlook indicates a shift in the construction industry towards more sustainable practices. The transition is underscored by the DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ system, which has emerged as a game changer in the realm of concrete work, providing a robust alternative to traditional gas-powered equipment.

The DEWALT POWERSHIFT system's efficacy is notable; professionals who have switched to electric tools reported completing projects two to three times faster than before. Furthermore, 93% of survey participants acknowledged the positive environmental impact of using electric tools over gas-powered ones. The heightened awareness surrounding sustainability is compelling construction businesses to rethink their operational strategies.

Key Drivers for Electrification

The survey illuminated several significant benefits associated with electric tools:

• - Safety: 45% of construction management cited the reduced hazards of fewer gas tanks on-site as a major advantage.
• - Ease of Use: The operating simplicity of electric equipment was emphasized, making tasks more manageable for workers.
• - Business Development: A remarkable 90% of construction managers believe that adopting sustainable solutions leads to enhanced business opportunities.

Moreover, safety concerns remain a top stressor on jobsites, with many skilled workers highlighting the physical strain from heavy equipment usage as a detriment to their daily tasks. With these findings, the industry is clearly leaning toward solutions that prioritize both productivity and worker well-being.

DEWALT's Commitment to Electrification

DEWALT's commitment extends beyond merely providing tools; it's about reshaping the industry landscape. The POWERSHIFT system can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 60% compared to traditional equipment, a crucial step towards compliance with increasing government regulations on emissions.

At the World of Concrete event, DEWALT showcased its total concrete solutions, including hands-on demonstrations of the POWERSHIFT line. This six-piece system features essential tools such as vibrators, core drills, and compaction devices—all designed to optimize workflow on concrete jobsites. The emphasis on electrification reflects DEWALT's commitment to leading the charge in the construction sector's move toward sustainable practices.

What Lies Ahead?

As the construction industry evolves, DEWALT is at the forefront of innovation with tools designed specifically for the needs of modern professionals. Their presence at Trade Shows like World of Concrete serves to foster community dialogue on future trends and innovations.

On January 22, DEWALT will host a panel titled "Concrete and Coffee: The Future of Construction," where industry experts will discuss the latest in construction technologies and the implications of electrification.

DEWALT’s efforts are not just about tools; they are about empowering a new generation of builders who are equipped to work safely and efficiently while minimizing their environmental impact. The full impact of these innovations in construction will unfold as their electrification journey continues.
