StealthMounts invented the cordless tool battery mount category back in 2016, and they’ve built their reputation on one simple feature — that satisfying ‘click’ sound indicating a locked tool. These injection-molded ABS plastic mounts measure just 2.95 x 1.02 x 1.02 inches and weigh 0.13 lbs per mount, but they’ve become the go-to solution for contractors who need tools to stay put in their trucks, vans, and shops.
Skip these if you’re just hanging a drill in your garage and never move it. For contractors working from work vans, tool trailers, and mobile workshops where security during transit is critical, that’s where StealthMounts earn their keep.
The Engineering Behind the Click
Made from durable injection-moulded ABS plastic in the UK, these mounts can be installed in various orientations to maximize space efficiency in workshops, vehicles, or on-site. The mounts offer flexible mounting — vertical, horizontal, or inverted (upside down) thanks to the locking snap-fit.
The real innovation isn’t complicated. Tools slide into the mount just as they would into a battery. Users can quickly lock and release batteries with a click of a button, ensuring they stay securely in place during transport. That mechanical lock matters when you’re bouncing down Montana backroads with your tools in the back.
The mounts are compatible with DeWalt 20V MAX XR, DeWalt 60V FlexVolt, and DeWalt 18V XR (International models). They’re part of StealthMounts’ broader range of battery mounts for major brands like Bosch, Milwaukee, and Makita.

Real-World Performance
With a 4.6-star rating from 193 reviews, users praise the secure fit, the ‘click’ sound indicating a locked tool, and the overall improvement in organization. That click isn’t just satisfying — it’s confirmation your impact driver won’t be bouncing around the van floor after the next pothole.
Some minor complaints mention that the rail thickness can be slightly too large for certain tool models, requiring minor sanding or adjustment. Fair enough. Not every DeWalt tool from the last decade has identical rail dimensions.
StealthMounts are generally more durable and have more consistent tolerances than 3D-printed alternatives. StealthMounts provide a physical mechanical lock which is more secure for heavy tools or mobile environments compared to magnets. Reviewers note that StealthMounts have a superior ‘click’ and locking feel compared to cheaper generic brands that may allow tools to slide off.
The UK manufacturing shows. They invented the original cordless tool battery mount in 2016 and switched from 3D printing to injection moulding for stronger, more durable products with reassuring ‘snap’ or ‘click’ mechanisms. The company now offers 200+ products across 43 different tool brands.
Mounting locations include walls, shelves, workbenches, vehicle interiors, and tool trailers. The mounts can be looped through belts for on-the-go use — though that’s more useful for specialty tools than your everyday impact driver.
The Bottom Line
These aren’t cheap for a piece of molded plastic. But if you’ve ever had a drill fall off a magnetic holder during transport, or watched your impact driver slide across the van floor, you understand why contractors pay for the mechanical lock.
Warranty coverage varies by retailer with typically a 30-day return policy (e.g., Amazon, Walmart). Some retailers list ‘No Manufacturer Warranty’ while others suggest contacting the manufacturer directly for support. Not ideal, but these aren’t complex devices that typically need warranty service.
StealthMounts work exactly as advertised. They hold tools securely, they mount in any orientation, and they survive the abuse of daily contractor use. For mobile professionals who need tools organized and secure during transport, these deliver. For weekend warriors who just want to clear bench space, there are cheaper options that’ll do the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these mounts work with older DeWalt tools?
The mounts are compatible with DeWalt 20V MAX XR, DeWalt 60V FlexVolt, and DeWalt 18V XR (International models). They’re compatible with any DeWalt cordless tool that uses the standard sliding battery interface (e.g., drills, impact drivers, saws, etc.). Some users report that the rail thickness can be slightly too large for certain tool models, requiring minor sanding or adjustment.
Q: Do the mounts come with mounting screws?
You’ll need appropriate wood or metal screws (typically #6 or #8 screws, length 1/2’ to 3/4’ depending on the mounting surface). Hardware is usually not included.
Q: How strong is the hold during vehicle transport?
The mounts are designed for storage in work vans, tool trailers, and mobile workshops where security during transit is critical. The click-and-release mechanism ensures batteries stay securely in place during transport. StealthMounts provide a physical mechanical lock which is more secure for heavy tools or mobile environments compared to magnets.
Q: Can these mounts handle heavy tools like circular saws?
The mounts are designed to securely hold standard DeWalt 20V and 60V cordless power tools; exact weight limit not specified. They’re compatible with any DeWalt cordless tool that uses the standard sliding battery interface including drills, impact drivers, and saws.
Q: What makes these different from 3D-printed alternatives?
StealthMounts are generally more durable and have more consistent tolerances than 3D-printed alternatives. The company switched from 3D printing to injection moulding for stronger, more durable products with reassuring ‘snap’ or ‘click’ mechanisms.
