Craftsman to DeWalt 20V Battery Adapter • Lorob Bees LLC

Run your InstantVap on the Craftsman batteries you already own

If you have been holding off on a cordless vaporizer because your yard runs on Craftsman, this is the part that removes the obstacle. Snap a Craftsman V20 pack onto this adapter and it powers any DeWalt-socket InstantVap — the Original, the Compact and the Lite. No new charger, no buying into a second battery platform to treat your hives.

What it fits

Craftsman V20 lithium-ion batteries — the V20 system only, not the older 19.2V C3 packs
InstantVap Original, Compact and Lite — the three DeWalt-socket models. The Turbo is not DeWalt-socket.
Snap-on fit — no wiring, no modification, nothing permanent. It stays on the gun or lives in the case.
Heat- and impact-resistant ABS, light enough to forget it is there

Which battery size

For a full yard, a 4Ah or 5Ah Craftsman pack is the sensible choice. A 2Ah will run a Lite through a handful of hives but will have you swapping packs on a bigger apiary.

Worth knowing before you order

This adapter powers the tool only. It does not charge, and it must never go into a charger.
It works in one direction: Craftsman battery into a DeWalt-socket tool. It does not let a DeWalt pack run a Craftsman tool — that is a different part, and we do not sell it.
The adapter adds a little length below the gun. At a hive entrance that is rarely an issue, but it is worth knowing before your first treatment.

Made and shipped from our shop in Baltimore, usually the same day.

Are Craftsman and DeWalt batteries interchangeable?

Not directly. Craftsman V20 and DeWalt 20V MAX packs are both 18-volt nominal lithium batteries from the same parent company, but the slide rails and latch are different, so neither fits the other brand's tools on its own. This adapter is the one-piece fix in the Craftsman-battery-to-DeWalt-tool direction. The full explanation, a compatibility chart and the battery sizes we recommend are in Are Craftsman and DeWalt batteries interchangeable?
