March 1, 2004

Take a cord out of your boating life with DeWalt's DC500. The cordless/corded DC500 is a fully-loaded vacuum cleaner designed for industrial-strength jobs. It can run on optional 12-, 14.4- or 18-volt batteries, and is compact enough to use around those hard-to-reach spots on-deck. The DC500 handles heavy-duty debris with its 2-gallon filter. Prices start at $99.
