| Weight | 1.8 kg without battery | 473 ml |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Application | not published | Thin coat. Thick application does not add protection and is far harder to remove |
| Bare tool | The DCV517B suffix means tool only. A 20V MAX battery and charger together cost a significant fraction of the tool price again | not published |
| Coverage | not published | 473 ml gives roughly 20 applications |
| Durability | not published | 6 to 8 weeks typically, and less in Indian summer heat and monsoon rain |
| Filter | Washable, and it must be genuinely dry before reuse | not published |
| Runtime | About 18 minutes on a 5.0 Ah battery | not published |
| Suction | Strong for a handheld, but a 0.5 litre tank empties fast | not published |
| Versus sealant | not published | A synthetic paint sealant lasts 4 to 6 months but looks flatter. This is the trade -- carnauba looks better and lasts a quarter as long |

| Wet and dry | Yes, up to about 0.5 litres of liquid | not published |
| Why sold this way | It assumes you already own DeWalt 20V MAX batteries from other tools. If you do not, budget accordingly | not published |
| Working time | not published | Can be applied in direct sun, unlike most waxes, which is genuinely useful in India |
