I use that Milwaukee drill more than my gen 3 Fuel because of how much easier it is to use. It can can suit a lot people's needs just fine.The Fuel is just such a raw power, and the new Dewalt tools are just so ergonomic, powerful, and easy to control it makes me want to buy from them as well.
I agree with you. Either of these drills is a great options. I feel like at some point Milwaukee will revise and have a new more powerful offering but for now Dewalt has the crown. The Milwaukee brushless was my first Milwaukee drill and it certainly enough for most things.
Most of my tools are dewalt but I will buy a tool if it works for me, I also have 5 m12 tools because of what they do. The dcd800 Compared to the other drills I own it does have most of everything I need in one drill. I like how realistic your comparisons are.
Awesome!, I mean absolutely awesome job on the video man👊. It screams right through it🤣. Great comparison of these 2. Keep up the good work brother. All the best to you and your family man. Have a great weekend
Now that the next generation of Kobalt is out, I would love to see a comparison between the dcd800, the Kobalt and the Ridgid 800 inch pound drill. Do you have any plans for doing that?
Thanks for the comparison. I have that milwaukee drill and it's been a solid performer, but that dewalt with powerstack batteries will be added to my arsenal very soon. I hope your channel grows, great content. Subscribed. 👊
It would have been a fair comparison if he didn’t use a power stack on the dewalt. If he wanted to compare apples to apples he needed to use a forged battery on the Milwaukee or get a 3ah dewalt battery then it would have been a fair comparison but stacked lithium is just a superior battery technology and anyone who knows tools knows a battery can greatly affect the performance of a tool.
I agree that it's not a super fair comparison but more because Milwaukee doesn't truly make a comparable drill to the DCD800. It's more compact than their fuel options, but not as powerful. It's roughly as compact as the Milwaukee here but significantly more powerful. While the powerstack battery does benefit the Dewalt here, it's not their fault that Milwaukee doesn't make a small and light lithium pouch style battery. Also just for further clarification this video was made more than a year before Milwaukee Forge batteries were announced.
I have tested it in a DEWALT video with with the atomic and the XR it’s called DEWALTs Sleeper Impact on my channel. It didn’t fair too well in that testing but in other use it has performed well
Good review - could you use bigger bits? I've seen 2 9/16"+ bits used for this Dewalt dcd800 - I wonder how close it is to the 999 on torque - what do you think?
I plan on comparing this new 800 to the 996. I don’t have a 999 currently but it should give you some idea of what It would do. I have gotten some bigger bits that what you see here but I don’t yet have something that big. We will have to see if I can get my hands on one.
You are comparing a top tier Dewalt XR drill with PowerStack 5.0 against a mid-tier, NON-Fuel Milwaukee with a CP 3.0 battery. Do you consider that a fair comparison ?
The DCD800 is an XR drill but it’s not their top model. The Milwaukee Fuel model is more a comparison for the DCD999 not this tool. So it’s not the most direct comparison no but there isn’t a really fair comparison in the Milwaukee lineup to that tool. Also the DEWALT is using a power stack 1.7ah not the 5. The idea there was that they were both using a compact yet more premium battery in their lineup.
Hi there! I wanted to know your opinion about dcd800 chuck, does it ever slipped when you use round shank drill bits? I just notice that dcd800,805 chuck are a little bit different from dcd 996,999 and i’m now curious that it will hold bits the same or not.
I haven't noticed any issues with it. I haven't done a ton of demanding drilling with that type of bit where I would expect a problem might occur. I had it drop a 1/4" hex bit but I have chalked that up to my own user error since it hasn't been a recurring problem.
XR is their top tier but this isn't the top of their top tier XR. It's not a perfect comparison but if i had put it against the Fuel Drill in this comparison, it wouldn't have been all that fair in the other direction either.
At work, they switched drill brands from dewalt to Milwaukee . Both were the top offerings, in short I really miss my dewalt. More power, better speed especially in hammerdrill mode that we used them for often. Even for drilling 1 ⅜" holes in aluminum dewalt is the better drill.
I want to update their their top hammer drills. They still perform okay (I haven’t done much testing in hammer mode) but they are bigger than most and don’t offer some safety features that many others do.
How much work a battery will do on a single charge is represented by the Ah rating. In this case DEWALT was used with a 1.7ah battery and the Milwaukee is on a 3ah battery. So I would expect that if their power draw was exactly the same you could achieve almost twice as much on the bigger battery. But DEWALT makes bigger batteries too.
Appreciate the video. Thanks.... How many speeds do each have, you only demo-ed the 1 & 2, the more powerful speeds, how about for small lite jobs . How many speeds over all does each have. Looking for an all in one drill
Each has a 2 speed transmission. They will each have roughly 15-20 clutch positions that will will stop the drill if it reaches certain torque levels but they won’t reduce the speed of the drill.
@@TinkerWithTools Thanks for the fast response, much appreciated, just finished watching a 996 vs 998 vs 999 Now I am debating between 800 & 996 . Any idea when the new version of 996 will be out? Also will I get more power output between 2 ah vs 5 ah battery.
@@seabreezeof I have heard rumors but don’t have a definitive date. It was rumored this year but we haven’t seen further indication of that. So hopefully next year.
@@seabreezeof the 5ah will get you more power. If it were me with my money I would pick the 800 unless I had needs for the hammer function or was planning on doing more heavy duty stuff. The 800 is the middle weight that can hit with the heavy weights and does an excellent job. That doesn’t mean it can stick with them forever but for most people it’s more than enough.
Hola amigo una pregunta Una batería nueva debo cargarla antes de usarla por primera vez o gastar la carga que trae antes de ponerla a cargar al 100%? Muchas gracias
It’s smaller than the Milwaukee in length but is actually just a little bit heavier. I wouldn’t call either of them heavy if you are keeping the battery smaller. The 5ah feels less balanced than the power stack but it’s still not bad.
@@TinkerWithTools yeah it's same with the dcd850 , even though it's really compact it still got some weight to it. I'm assuming if you need to get in the tight spaces, this drill is ideal. the power is impressive too.
The DCD800 is DeWalt's replacement for the DCD791 which was the direct competition for the Milwaukee Brushless. So while this new drill is quite a bit more powerful, it is still competition for that Milwaukee.
The 2902 is the hammer drill and you are right that it’s more powerful but this is Milwaukee compact brushless drill driver. That’s where I was going with the comparison. The 2902 is also not common at all in the stores around me but this was what I had. Not a perfect comparison but nothing really compares to the dcd800 when it comes the blend of power and speed with how small it is.
@@TinkerWithTools I think the 2902 would compare to the dcd800 very well in size and performance, but I agree that it’s not in stock at most stores. The hammer vs non hammer isn’t necessarily a factor, since you compared the dcd800 with the Ridgid R86115 in your other video lol.
Thats dewalts Mid tier offering. It’s the replacement for the 791 not the 996/998/999. Those are still more powerful drills even though there is a rumored replacement later this year.
It really does. I plan to compare it to some other companies top drills on the future because it really flies through some stuff. If it came down to buying this or a top offering from someone like Ridgid or Craftsman, I really think this would be the choice.
@@hansjr316, no it’s not. The “fuel” is the big hammer drill and compares to dewalts 998/999. The Milwaukee shown compares to the mid tier compact like the dcd 800.

Sold that Milwaukee today after trying out the DCD800 with a powerstack 5Ah last week. Impressive piece of kit!
It's a really nice drill!
The timer looks good bro. That’s what I did, I screen recorded the timer on my iPhone
Thanks man. There are a bunch of little things like that to learn. What editing software do you use.

Thanks. I appreciate it! Same to you and your family!
Great Video I love the new stacked battery technology 👌
They are great batteries. Can’t wait to see other sizes.
@@TinkerWithTools yeah looking forward bigger AH ones.
BTW your channel is awesome well done keep up the good work.
@@doctorlefthandthread thanks. I appreciate it.

That Milwaukee drill gets outperformed by the Dewalt Atomic and the Dewalt Brushless (non XR) models. This is a pretty unfair comparison 😅

Wondering why the Milwaukee was set to 1 instead of the drill setting on the front of the drill, results would be different I do believe
It looks like it says 1 but that is actually small drill bit. The two is actually all the way around on the other end of the dial.
Which batery does work longer between them? Thank you for sharing 👌🏼😊

I always charge it first before using it.

Does anyone else find the DCD800 really high pitched? Its the noisiest Dewalt drill ive ever had and ive considered using hearing protection!
It’s not a quiet tools but I haven’t feel it’s that high pitched. I will have to go back and listen again though.
DeWalt is the best for me
how is the weight on on the dewalt? looks compact
It’s smaller than the Milwaukee in length but is actually just a little bit heavier. I wouldn’t call either of them heavy if you are keeping the battery smaller. The 5ah feels less balanced than the power stack but it’s still not bad.

Yeah it’s truly 12 volt size but a lot more powerful.
You compare 90Nm DeWalt with 60Nm Milwaukee? Seriously?
What's the purpose of such a "comparison"?
The DCD800 is DeWalt's replacement for the DCD791 which was the direct competition for the Milwaukee Brushless. So while this new drill is quite a bit more powerful, it is still competition for that Milwaukee.
That is actually a low tier Milwaukee. The 2902 is the mid tier non fuel brushless Milwaukee drill.

A regular 2X4 ?
Non pressure treated.
cool story bro
At my job, they bought us this Milwaukee drill told them to take it back and get the dewalt. I told them I'd pay the difference
You put dewalts top XR drill with power stack up against milwaukees mid tier drill uhhhh I guess it’s a fair comparison
Thats dewalts Mid tier offering. It’s the replacement for the 791 not the 996/998/999. Those are still more powerful drills even though there is a rumored replacement later this year.
@@TinkerWithTools nice it looks powerful makes it look like it’s in a league of its own
It really does. I plan to compare it to some other companies top drills on the future because it really flies through some stuff. If it came down to buying this or a top offering from someone like Ridgid or Craftsman, I really think this would be the choice.
Where is the fuel model?
Comparing here is bias!
@@hansjr316, no it’s not. The “fuel” is the big hammer drill and compares to dewalts 998/999. The Milwaukee shown compares to the mid tier compact like the dcd 800.
