DeWalt’s Flexvolt 20V 60V Max Fast Charger (model DCB118) is on sale for just $56, a 43% discount from its normal price of $99. This charger is an uprated model that can power up both standard DeWalt 20V Max batteries as well as 60V batteries used on the brand’s heavy-duty tools. It’s a bestseller, and Walmart’s price is the best you’ll find anywhere; it beats hardware retailers like Home Depot, Ace, Acme, and even Amazon (my usual go-to source for DeWalt deals).
