I recently got the DCD800 with powerstack batteries and that combo is amazing. A bit shorter runtime, but the 1.7AH powerstack batteries have the power of 5.0AH AH XR batteries. It's amazing. That combo with the 800 and 850 is excellent. I haven't gotten the 850 yet but will very soon. That said, my most used drill is the dewalt 12v 5 in 1 driver. It's about 1lb less than the 800 and handles most everything around the house. My screwgun is also a dewalt, the dcf601. It's crazy light and powerful enough. Congrats on the new tools!
I’m waiting for the right power stack deal and I’m definitely going to snag a couple for those two drills. They have been working great so far! I love the 12v drivers. I have the Bosch one and a snap on. They are so light and give you so much control. I use mine every day. Thanks bud!
Nice set brother!! I just bought the cheaper set which is close to the sizes you have!! It’s the max set with the 793 drill and 840 impact they are a beast for what I paid!! Think my set was 169+tax. They have been solid so far. I’m like you I love the 2ah batteries to stay compact!
Got the dcd999, dcf850, a 6ah flexvolt battery, a 5ah powerstack battery, fast charger, TSTAK box for 530usd here in Australia. The real value comes when you redeem two 5ah powerstack batteries for free also. The two drills nearly cost that on their own as individual skins! Great value
Those new power stacks are pretty nice. I got the smaller ones and put them in these new drills. They really are compact and powerful. I’m loving this set.
I'm also addicted to buying tools! I have the dcf850 and the dcd800! I bought one dcf850 and had to have second one. I also have the dcd800 I saw it had to have it also.
I was Not a Believer , But after finally trying them , the PowerStack Batteries are the Way to Go ....👍 I also just got the DCD800 Drill and the dcf845 Impact and the 800 is Awesome it's a Monster , but the 845 Impact Not so Much , I was definitely expecting more out of DeWalts XR Impact , I definitely think the 850 has a little more power ....
That’s interesting. I figured the car would be more powerful too. I love how short that 850 is. I’m gonna have to get me some powerstack. That would pair perfectly with those compact drills for sure.
I got the combo that comes with the 805 hammer drill and the 850 impact with 2 4ah batteries for $280 at Home Depot, for $30 more the better drill and the bigger batteries are a no brainer.
I have the same impact. I bought the $599 deal during the holidays and upgraded all my tools. If I was you I would keep the large drill for one single thing and that is for mixing. Mixing drills cost a lot of money. I bought my rigid mixing drill for something like $180 dollars. Before that I blew out a couple concrete drills, using them as mixers.
@@realworldtoolreviews unfortunately I haven't used it yet. I've been using my 12v Bosch impact. That thing has a lot of power. I framed out a 12ft x 10ft cage with door for a client. I got it done using one charge on a 2amp 12v battery. Crazy.
That DCF850 is a win. Went the other way with the drill and got the DCD999 with an XR 6Ah battery. My kit has the Dewalt flexible right angle and straight right angle adapters, a milescraft drill block, set of wera diamond bits (these are great when you encounter soft chinesium metal screws), spyder cobalt drill bit set, dewalt bit set, countersink bit set with a stepdrill bit, and an energizer rechargeable headlamp. Curios what other stuff do you keep in your bag?
That 999 is probably a beast. I still have the 996 which is a monster. I love that drill. That’s why I got that smaller drill without the hammer function. It’s powerful and compact for a drill. That thing is awesome. I’ve got some videos about my drill and drive accessories and the every day tool bag I’ve been using if you want to check those out.
Every once in a while, the hammer function comes in handy for me when I’m mounting something on a concrete wall, but for an every day drill, I like having just a drill. The new one I got in this video is awesome.
😂 I know dude it was weird not posting anything last week. I’ve been out of town and busy, but I’ve got plenty of stuff in the works. Im ready for spring to get here. It’s hard to stay motivated to go out to the shop in the cold and dark after working all day. I try to only do videos when I’m in a good mood lol.
Dude Im about ready to give up on the m12 hammer drill. I’ve gone through 3 in 3 years. Now I carry my black sub compact Makita 18v cause I’m tired of the m12 chuck skipping and grinding. All the m12 drills have the same issue. After a couple of months the chuck just gets all whacked out. It grinds or gets stuck when tightening or when drilling the chuck slips or even grinds out. Milwaukee strong but not made to last man. Considering upgrading to the new gen m12 drill
Those makita sub compacts are great. I’ve used them before and they are sweet. I don’t know if I’ll ever buy any 12v tools again to be honest. The way the 18v lines are getting more powerful and more compact is almost making 12v obsolete. As the new pouch cell batteries start coming out, I think the compact 18v tools will take over the 12v
I have the 805 and it's not worth it if you work in construction. Struggles with hole saw bits through 1 inch material in speed 2 obviously it doesn't struggle in speed 1 but I have shit to get done when I'm in the field and will be getting a 999 or 998 possibly the dcd 1007 if it comes out soon enough. 805 would be a decent home owners drill that's it.
I'm leary of compact tools. After I bought the Dewalt compact reciprocating saw (DCS367B), the vibration is brutal. I would like to know if that compact impact driver vibrates more than your old one. Vibration gets really old if you have to work one for a couple of hours every day and can cause permanent injuries. That compact drill looks to be a sweet size. I'm surprised that it's shorter than the m12. You may have gotten my wallet in trouble showing me that. Every once in a while, I see that Dewalt offers a starter set of a couple of batteries and a charger that usually comes with an offer of a free tool. If you're looking to get into the powerstack, that might be a hot ticket for you, with Memorial Day sales just around the corner.
Thats why i went with the Extreme 12v mini or the 20v Atomic recip saw. The Atomic has a swivel base. And the vibration is low. You can use it one handed. Extreme 12v is decent too, except the blade foot doesn't adjust. I wish they made it adjustable. Maybe they'll make an upgrade kit. I use them all the time. The recip saw your talking about I used, and it vibrates so bad... I hated it... I took it back...and bought the other ones. The older larger ones, I've used since the mid 80s. And they're too big...and lunky. Especially just to cut a few boards and a pipe or two. - Try the Atomic one...or the Extreme 12v. He'll the old, fold over dewalt 12v works good too.
Dcs367b is their compact version so ya it's going to vibrate more. It's better to buy their full size one which is heavier and has less vibration. The smaller and lighter it is, the more vibration.
Yea I’m waiting for a good power stack deal. I might upgrade my 6 1/2 skilsaw to the brushless one. I could see them offering that in a power stack deal. I’ll let you know about the vibration in the impact. Just driving a few screws with it, it doesn’t seem like it vibrates more, but we’ll see when I start driving lag screws and a bunch of deck screws at once.
@VRCM Skywarn - Dr. Glenn Munro I think I'm leaning more towards the atomic but I have not ruled out their full size, if I'm breaking out a Sawzall I may be using it for a while. I'm already invested in Milwaukees 12v line and may try their m12 Sawzall for tight spaces work.
@@rogerice3826 I've seen a few, of their saws... That M12 one, doesnt look like it's too bad. Go to Home Depot @ the customer service desk...and open it up at the store and try it out If you don't like it...then, let them know...theyll put it back in the box. No harm no foul.
You’re thinking hammer drills and I’m thinking hammers! I just ordered two 2 oz Vaughan ball peen hammers from Canada of all places but they were the only ones that had it on a jewelry website. Originally I tried to get one from grace tools then Snap-On but they both discontinued and turns out it’s made by Vaughan and I happen to find the last two in stock that I could find on the internet. 2 oz sounds silly to most people but with my tekton punch set that’s perfect for pushing little pins. On firearms you really only need a 2 and a 4oz. I bought 2 so that I could sell one online to cover the cost of the one and it turned out to be the last 2 they had. I spoke to the girl on the phone and she said she was wondering why they have been selling that specific hammer like crazy.
Tiny ball peen hammers are definitely useful. I have a 6 oz one, but I’d like to have a 2oz one too. You can’t ever have enough different hammers in the collection. Lots of different stuff needs to get beat on in a lot of different ways lol
@@realworldtoolreviews there are 2 other usa brands that I know of and one is Martian tools they still make a 2oz ball peen in the US. I went with these because it’s what I wanted from the start. Now I’ll have two. I might keep both idk but probably will sell the other.
I bought just the drill kit at homedepot for $69.00 cad ($50.00 us), drill, 1.5 battery, charger, and bag..........crazy.......i think they made a mistake on the price......
The hammer function is really overrated and oversold, I have a cheap rotary sds I just want a drill. Nice to see a drill in a kit You will have to post updates on that atomic impact, a guy in the shop just got one and it’s underwhelming, he borrows m12s to get out screws his atomic won’t. Don’t know if it’s his batteries, that specific one might be bad, or who knows what. I think Dewalt makes good tools so I told him to exchange it, before 30 days are up to avoid warranty hassles if it’s bad. A mediocre 18-20 volt tool should get anything a 12v will let alone a “premium” line. And I think for dewalt it’s XR, atomic then the max in power and feature best to worst My money is on my m12 right angle drill for tight spots, make fun of the design but I get better leverage to drill and screw than with an adapter or regular drill/impact I see good reviews on the installation drivers ,both brands but that’s cabinets and the whole profiles just don’t look like they would work well in the tight spots I seem to work sometimes, not as concerned with getting fasteners as close to the edge as what they seem designed for. That just seems like the 6” bit and a slight angle for those as the tool and attachments take up more space than a long bit. We use r2 or sq2 and I have to use pliers to get screws off my Bosch bits so that’s my recommendation for tight spots. And the real trick is keeping the fasteners on the bit Makita used to make a bit magnet that is bullet shaped and now you have to get generic ones that aren’t quite as good but still work well. They magnetize the whole bit well even when at the chuck so you can get the bit in a hole too small for the magnetized bit holder or the other little magnets you put on the end that break too easily. Good bit and good magnet = easier fastener installation. For sq bits Bosch and Makita. The rest are garbage. For ph2 I can use any with same results, Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita, Bosch, Ryobi, generics all work better with a drill than an impact as no ph2 works well with an impact, have to push so much harder Some of the manufacturers use an 8 pt or double square head the Milwaukee works best on, it’s a hair bigger slot and the Milwaukee bit is a hair bigger and why it’s garbage sq2/r2. Stupid fastener looks like a torx and nothing fits well actually I throw them away when if I remove, drives the shop Forman nuts if I do slide out and replace those 100 screws that are perfectly fine Lol. How the topic changes and the rant starts on a comment Love your videos and insights Keep it up. Keep it real
As you might be able to tell by some of my recent videos, I too have been thinking a lot about bits and drill and driver accessories. There are so many choices it’s crazy. I will say that I’ve had good luck with the Milwaukee bit sets and when I discovered the acr Philips 2 bits with the little grooves cut into them, I’ll never use another Philips bit again. Thanks man good to hear from you as always!

You're crazy dawg! 😆 Nice set ya got
Gotta trynout those powerstacks man. It'll be your daily driver i assure you
I share your addiction to new tools my brother 😅
Don't have much use for a ,"hammer" DRILL. I have the DeWalt 20 volt 1/2" brushless XR series DRILL / DRIVER. Model 791 DCD

Use power stack
I know dude I need to get me some power stacks. I’m waiting for the right deal on them.
STOP complaining and get yourself some POWERSTACKS and you`re good
Milwaukee 12v best :)
Wouldn't really call the drill an upgrade when it's got the same power and no side handle lmao
I love the 996 too. Your right, maybe not an upgrade but it is so compact and powerful that I haven’t used my 996 since I got the new one.
*downgrading...
You think so?
