Dewalt 18
DeWalt drills are a recognised product across the world as being tough and reliable. With years of trust from professionals across many industries, you cannot go wrong with a DeWalt drill. Available either battery or mains powered, the DeWalt range covers many kinds of drill featuring the latest in technology and design for optimum performance. DeWalt offers over 50 different power tools combo kits ranging from 2 tools to 10 tools. The bottom line; Milwaukee 18V and DeWalt 20V drills have the same power. Milwaukee’s batteries have some unique features like a fuel gauge and temperature protection, but DeWalt’s drill comes with two batteries, and Milwaukee’s only comes with one.
These drills offer the best combination of power, maneuverability, run time, and cost. They aren’t designed for all-day aggressive use, but they are more than capable for basic home maintenance and repair, and if needed they can sink a 3-inch screw on occasion. They’re still compact enough to take up hardly any space in a hall closet or even a kitchen junk drawer. Without a doubt, we’d call the DCD708C2 the best priced .
It also doesn’t hurt that you can pick up this drill plus its matching 12V impact driver for $199 or less with a pair of 2.0 Ah batteries, charger, and tool bag. Having tested dozens of s, the absolute best DeWalt drill has to be the DeWalt DCD998 20V Power Detect hammer drill. Measuring almost equally well is the DeWalt DCD999 60V FlexVolt Advantage Hammer Drill. Our preference for the DCD998 comes from the fact that you don’t need to get into the bulk of FlexVolt batteries. If you want the absolute best performance, the 20V 8Ah pack takes care of you…and powers your existing 20V DeWalt rotary hammers, circular saws, and more. The 5Ah will do nicely and give you almost identical power—just not as much run-time.
When talking about raw power, the DeWalt DCD998 produces over 1000 inch-pounds of torque. It beat the DeWalt DCD997 hammer drill in our testing, securing its position at the top of the DeWalt food chain. After recently testing over 50 drills and hammer drills to find the best cordless drill among dozens of brands, DeWalt stood out in the pack. In fact, we found the best DeWalt drill for nearly every application. If you’re here, you obviously like the Yellow and Black brand—so we’ll break down our favorite models for any application. While both DeWalt and Bosch’s reciprocating saws include a variable speed trigger, Bosch’s also includes two speed ranges.
