The DeWalt DCE410P1 20V MAX* XR 1-1/2' PEX Expander is an ultra - light cordless pro - grade tool. It can expand 3/8' - 1-1/2' expansion - type PEX, like Uponor ProPEX tubing, and expands up to 20% faster than the Milwaukee 2632 M18 PEX Expander. This kit comes with 1', 1-1/4', and 1-1/2' expansion heads and is also compatible with existing DEWALT 3/8' - 1' expansion heads (sold separately). It has an ergonomic long body with upper and lower grip points, perfect for overhead and body - height pipe expansions. The auto - rotating head mechanism ensures even expansion surfaces. The onboard LED lights up your workspace, and the side - mounted hang hook makes storage easy. The brushless motor offers long runtime, letting you work all day on one battery. You can add Bluetooth tracking by pairing a Tool Connect Chip DCE042 (sold separately) via the CHIP - READY pocket on the tool's foot. The kit includes a 20V MAX* XR 1-1/2' PEX Expander and a DCB205 5AH 20V Battery. Key features include expanding 3/8' - 1-1/2' ASTM F1960 Type - A and Type - B PEX Piping, a lightweight right - angle design for tight spaces with a bottom grip for overhead use, automatic rotating head for even expansion, being the lightest option for 1-1/4' and 1-1/2' PEX, and a brushless motor that gives great performance per 3Ah battery.
Using the DeWalt DCE410P1 PEX expander is quite straightforward. First, make sure the DCB205 5AH 20V battery is fully charged and properly installed in the tool. Then, select the appropriate expansion head (1', 1-1/4', or 1-1/2') for the PEX pipe you are working on. Place the expander head at the end of the PEX pipe and start the tool. The auto - rotating head will do its job to expand the pipe evenly. When working in dark areas, turn on the onboard LED to illuminate your workspace. For overhead work, use the bottom grip for better control. Remember, this tool can expand 3/8' - 1-1/2' ASTM F1960 Type - A and Type - B PEX Piping. If you want to add Bluetooth tracking, pair a Tool Connect Chip DCE042 (sold separately) via the CHIP - READY pocket on the foot of the tool. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the expander heads to remove any debris. Store the tool in the provided case and keep it in a dry place. Periodically check the battery for any signs of damage and charge it regularly to maintain its performance.
