DeWalt DCE040 Tool Connect 20V MAX Bluetooth Tracking Connector
The DeWalt DCE040 Tool Connect 20V MAX Bluetooth Tracking Connector is an IP68-rated wireless inventory management adapter engineered to add asset tracking and anti-theft lockout to existing 20V MAX cordless power tools. Mounting permanently between the tool foot and battery, this 4.1-ounce connector communicates via Bluetooth over a 100-foot line-of-sight range to stream last-seen geolocation data to the DEWALT Inventory Manager web portal. Powered by an internal coin cell battery with a 3-year service life that recharges automatically upon inserting a 20V MAX lithium-ion battery pack, this compact hardware adapter solves equipment loss, tool hoarding, and jobsite theft challenges across commercial contracting fleets.
Best Used For:
- Commercial Construction Fleet Management: Assigning, tracking, and auditing tool inventories across multiple active jobsites using the mobile app and web portal.
- Jobsite Theft Prevention & Asset Security: Enabling out-of-range automatic tool lockout to disable power tools when moved beyond authorized jobsite boundaries.
- Misplaced Equipment Recovery: Locating missing or misplaced tools quickly within a 100-foot radius using street-address last-seen GPS logging.
