What materials can the DEWALT GRABO lifter pick up?

Glass thicker than 3mm, tile, metal sheets, wood, concrete slabs, natural stone and drywall. It handles non-porous and semi-porous surfaces, including rough-textured ones.

How much weight can it hold?

Up to 265 lbs with the material horizontal and 132 lbs vertical. Stay well under those limits in practice, since seal condition and surface texture affect the hold.

Does it come with a battery?

The DCE592D1 is a kit, so it ships with a DEWALT 20V MAX battery and charger. It runs on the same packs as other DEWALT 20V tools.

Can it lift porous materials like raw concrete block?

No. The vacuum needs a surface it can seal against, so highly porous or uneven materials will not hold. Smooth and semi-porous faces are the intended use.

Is it worth it over manual suction cups?

If you regularly set large tile, glass or slabs alone, the powered pump keeps a steady hold without re-pumping. For occasional light panels, manual cups are lighter and simpler.

Our take on the Dewalt 20v Grabo Lifter DCE592D1

The DEWALT 20V MAX GRABO Lifter is a cordless battery-powered vacuum lifter for carrying flat, heavy materials by hand. An electric pump pulls a seal against glass, tile, stone, metal, wood, concrete and drywall, holding up to 265 lbs horizontally and 132 lbs vertically. It suits tilers, glaziers, drywall crews and remodelers who move slabs and panels alone. Against manual suction-cup lifters it adds a powered pump that keeps holding on rough or semi-porous surfaces; the trade-off is weight, bulk and dependence on a charged 20V pack.
