The unit also has a Green LED indicator on top of the charger housing that illuminates to signal AC on for the entire unit.
The unique, compact, fold-up design of the DC022 allows the end user to easily transport, store and set up the unit.
The worklight also includes spring-loaded battery hold downs to keep 7.2V-18V batteries in place for transporting, a tool-free bulb replacement, and an easy to adjust worklight housing that allows users to rotate the light over 180+ degrees and adjust it in the desired position for use.
To meet end users' demands for durability, the DC022 is also equipped with a roll-cage design to withstand jobsite abuse.
This feature also provides increased stability to ensure the unit will not turn over easily.
