### 5/5 — Light Switch

*2025-02-14*

I appreciate the fact that I can control not only on and off, but also the intensity of the light from my phone. 
The app together with the light make a great very useful tool anywhere I need light.

### 1/5 — Abandoned App?

*2024-11-07*

I bought a dewalt laser measure for the express purpose of using this app, but it looks like it’s been abandoned. The last update was a year ago as  web I try to create a user, I keep getting a message that reads, “ There was a problem connecting to the DeWalt ToolConnect server. Please try again later.” Which keeps me from using the app or the Bluetooth feature at all. 

Proves that you shouldn’t buy physical tech that relies on proprietary software.

### 1/5 — Tom

*2024-11-03*

CAN’T SIGN ETHER

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-10-16*

Didn’t work for me either

### 3/5 — Money Grab In 2024

*2024-10-10*

bought some new tools recently and noticed they came with the tool connect feature. tried over the span of 2 weeks periodically making an account on this app to servers no longer being supported and the tools i bought being old stock. Come to find out Dewalt is still promoting tool connect on their newest products and releases even though the app dosnt even work. do better

### 1/5 — Not able to connect

*2024-10-06*

Won’t even let my sign up

### 1/5 — Unable to signup

*2024-09-29*

Server error. Unable to signup. I’m guessing that the app/service is not maintained.

### 5/5 — 20V Max All-Purpose Area Light

*2023-12-14*

I own many battery powered DeWalt tools, and this is just one more enjoyable tool to add to my collection.  This app is nice, to be able to connect within a short distance with only Bluetooth is great; easy to download app and app works great, as advertised.  Well worth the purchase of the light, and great to get a free app to use with the light.

### 2/5 — Horrible measurement capture

*2023-10-23*

For use with the dewalt lasers, it grabs the measurement just fine, but the storage system is almost archaic. Manual text input for names of measurements. Prompts you after saving every measurement if you’d like another instead of just going straight through. Interface for measurements is awful (their keyboard) and if you accidentally add a fraction, well guess you’re adding 1/32 to that measurement because there’s no way to clear it. 
Exporting is where it really falls apart. It doesn’t export text, it exports a freaking jpg with a massive DEWALT logo in the bottom right corner which will happily sit on your measurements underneath. 

Honestly this is such a poor excuse of an app for this tool. It may work well for some things but geez it’s bad for measurement.

### 5/5 — Drill

*2023-06-13*

I have found this drill three different times if I lose it and can’t find it I will buy another one. I love it greatest drill I’ve ever had.
