If you are considering a power tool combo kit, there are so many options that you first need to figure out exactly what type of tools you need. Then determine which brand has those tools packaged up in a single kit. If both do, go tool-by-tool and decide which features are most important to you. In 1992, Black & Decker started a major effort to rebrand its professional quality and high-end power tools to DeWalt.
It has an onboard fuel gauge which allows users to closely monitor their power level and hence prevents any unnecessary downtime. One of the downsides to this drill kit is that it is significantly more expensive that other drills in the market. The drill weighs an estimated 3.6 lb which is a pleasant thing for individuals that would like to work on projects that take a longer time.
The packs construction is quite modern and ensures your batteries remain in good condition regardless of the number of times they have been used. This drill is built with Redlink Plus technology that ensures protection and control. The technology is able to monitor various aspects of the dewalt accessories drill with the end result being protection from overheating, over-discharging and overload. “Technically, it gives you little more power, but a good rechargeable cordless drill will perform just as well.” And you’re free to use it anywhere, without lugging around an extension cord.
If you’re planning to use your drill for long stretches at a time, you can easily keep an extra battery pack on hand to switch out. By choosing the DeWalt 20-volt over the DeWalt 12-volt, you’re getting more speed, more power, and more run time. To determine this, we drilled five 1-inch holes with the 12-volt and five with the 20-volt. Both drills completed the task, but the 20-volt did so in 20 seconds, whereas the 12-volt took 1 minute. During the test, the 12-volt often got bound up and had a much harder time, while the 20-volt just blew right through the wood. So although the 12-volt is capable of tougher jobs, that’s really not what that smaller tool is designed for.
If you’re really looking to load up on new power tools, Milwaukee’s M18 9-Tool Combo Kit and DeWalt’s 20V MAX 9-Tool Combo Kit come with a wide array of tools for all of your needs. If you’re looking for more than just a couple of power tools, Milwaukee and DeWalt have a wide range of options. Milwaukee has 7 kits that include more than 5 tools, and DeWalt has 14.
It also has an overload-protection feature that constantly kicked on while we were using the tool, which was annoying. In all ways, this drill splits the difference between the 12 and 20-volt dewalt Hand tools DeWalts. It can handle more aggressive tasks than the 12-volt, like light framing and larger diameter hole drilling, but it’s much smaller than the more powerful 20-volt drill.
