How does it work? Do you need to push the button for it to operate, and then it detects rotation of the screwdriver around its axis to start driving in progressive fashion? If you have it in the air and not on a screw, will it still drive? I assume it's not a real gyroscope inside.
@@ZoeBlue-p4l I believe it is discontinued now but some places still have it. The DCF680 with the swivel handle & the DCF682 with fixed handle retail anywhere between £80 to £140. Search by model number at you local retailers
at first i didnt like the idea of this gyroscopic function but as time went by i think its a interesting and unique idea yesterday i ordered one and i cant wait to try it
@@Coupleatools I'm just trying to justify the purchase for myself, but you may be right. May not have much use for the tool now, but It would still be cool to have.
@@masterpopeyoda3290 No impact or combi is as lightweight, small or precise. It will get to places that others can’t. Fixing drawer runners or other cabinet hardware, light fixtures overhead or sockets & switches, any delicate fixings that you would normally do with hand tools & so on. If you are a joiner, carpenter, cabinet maker or an electrician, I highly recommend it. You just can’t beat the control & versatility or one
Unfortunately not. When it’s in the 90° angle, product lengths is 165mm. You are better off using either the DCD740 cordless angle driver or the DEWDT71517T right angle attachment

I love mine!
Moving the hand incorrectly by mistake would damper the spirits
@@Bpn575 spirits ?
I absolutely love this screwdriver. It's a must for just about any mechanic but yeah....
It looks like a fun tool to have, but is it really better than a few pumps from an impact?
If I had to explain how, where, when & why this is more beneficial than an impact then the gyroscopic might not be for you

It’s ranked 3rd right now pretty good overall
Depends where you look. It’s ranked 1st on bestproductreviews considering it was released 11 years ago
@@Coupleatools I saw a guy did a test on all the brands here on RUclips and i believe rhe youtuber called project farm tested them out
how much po
Depends on your country. Google it
Is it suitable for 3.5 screws?
Size of screw is irrelevant to the driver as you just change the bit to suit screw, as you would an impact driver
@@Coupleatools but even on a low setting with a Dewalt impact can still cross thread or destroy the flat thread on top of the screw
@@kieranpodesta509 The DCF680 is more like a combi than an impact as it has torque settings & zero impact
I got one but not sure if works or I don’t know how to use..
Press and hold the button then twist it side to side
Does it fit in a 150mm base
Unfortunately not. When it’s in the 90° angle, product lengths is 165mm. You are better off using either the DCD740 cordless angle driver or the DEWDT71517T right angle attachment
