I just did a complete kitchen cabinet tear down and rebuild. The Atomic Drill driver hit the mark perfect for my needs. The light weight helped while putting up the upper cabinets with arm relief and I can verify it can drill 1/8" holes and screw in 2 1/2" #10 cabinet screws in to Hickory all the way and all day with a battery swap. If you need the XR version, you either use it every day in a pro capacity or your OCD. The Atomic 20v will handle homeowner needs easily and a lot more easy on your bank account.
I've been really happy with the atomic Impact driver. I use it mostly in auto mechanics. It gets into tight places. It is super light so it doesn't wear you out. The weight of a tool over an entire day of using it pretty important. It has plenty of power. I think a small light tool like this fits in for all those 10-15mm bolts. When I have to go bigger I step it up to a real impact. The battery typically lasts me through and entire job just fine. If not I will slide on a 2ah while it charges. The only thing that would make it better is if they would make one with a 3/8" anvil on it.
I bought this kit in like April or so and I've been super happy with it. The batteries haven't been an issue for me thus far. They are crazy light which has been super convenient, and it is nice have that drill driver be so compact.
Picked up the Atomic drill today. If you need a light weight compact drill this thing is awesome. As far as the battery more amp hrs means bigger battery and i wanted compact on this.
I work in Low Voltage/Data Integration, and the Atomic is great for how small it is. I doubt I ever run more than 15-20 screws in a day for maintenance, so having something small and light is pretty handy.
Seems like a pretty good combo for the price. I like to have a combination of battery sizes. For all day work, a good 5 or 6 ah battery is good to have. But working at home, a lightweight battery such as the 1.5 ah is also good to have.
I picked this kit (drill + impact) up for $150 on sale. For that price I think this kit is a pretty great deal especially if you're upgrading from some cheapo harbor freight drills like I was. Full $240msrp seems a bit high.
They were on sale at Home Depot for 149 and they gave me a 50 dollar discount on this set just for applying for a Home Depot credit card lol these are a big upgrade from the Ryobi drills I use
I work at a sugar bush, where we tap maple trees and collect the sap to make maple syrup. We have tons of drills and I know for a fact that these dewalt tools at just as good as any of the others, and the batteries last longer in the cold.
I bought this combo kit at Home Depot on 11/5/21. They had a special buy for a limited time and I paid $149.00 for the kit. I used it a few times and was very impressed with it. I'll be purchasing more batteries with a higher Ah in the near future.
I saw the combo at HD today and it comes with two 1.3 Ah batteries. I know they're trying to keep the weight (and cost) down, but 2.0 Ah battery packs last much longer.
I just got these for Christmas and once you place pressure on the impact driver with a drill bit, the wobble isn't as bad and the holes are fine. I have the 12volt Dewalt brushless set myself and the impact driver has a fair bit of wobble. However I use it almost everyday in my woodshop and the holes it drills are solid once pressure is placed on the impact driver and drill bit. The Atomic set I catch myself using more and more. There is a newer model Atomic impact but it only gives 125 more inch lbs of torque. Even though the new Atomic is approximately 29% smaller I can't justify getting the newer model. I think they are great tools.
None come close to my Metabo D60 but they are wireless and convenient. Took your advice and went with Milwaukee. My old Swiss and German power tools still run circles around any American or now Chinese made tools. Three generations of daily use later and they are still running!
The batteries on my old 14.4 Dewalt finally died so this atomic set was the replacement So far I have used the atomic set to build a small building, lots of screws to drive and holes to drill. Both tools and batteries preformed great. I particularly like the compact size and power. I have recently added a 2 AH battery to the set, just as a back up.
It's like that for most kits whether its Dewalt, Ryobi, Rigid, etc. Its a starter kit to get you going with a small battery. I may not be in construction like you do for a living Vince. And truly respect the trade as a computer technician. It's to get someone started with the kit you can get larger batteries for them for longer runtime to work with. I realized that even with Ryobi when I bought two of their starter kita and it came with the 18volt 1.3 amp hour batteries. Picked up some 3, 4 , 6 and 9 amp hour batteries in just those cases for the longer runtime on the drill and normal operating times for the other tools.
Yep....after seeing your first video regarding these two tools, I'm still planning on getting the drill/driver. However for the impact driver, I'll stick to the XR version or the 885.
Nice funny comments out there... As for the battery fuel meter, i just hooked a small voltmeter integrated within the charger DCB107 (i made some cuts with the casing). So whenever i want to check the volts level, I just insert the battery to the charger, i can also monitor this while charging.
I built a patio on 2 batteries 1.5ah but had to charge them everyday during project. Sometimes half way through. The economics of atomic make them keepers for all around light to medium tasks.
My DCF850 collet started wobbling like crazy and wouldn't hold bits after a couple weeks of mechanic use. I did use it to put a whole in an exhaust pipe with a circular saw 1/4 bit. Maybe it was too much for the little guy. But exhaust pipe isn't all that thick tho.
@@venturaperformance Milwaukee Fuel delivers the most powerful pretty consistently across impacts and drills from the videos Ive seen. Fuels wins everything. Dewalt has better LED lighting, but that's probably the only thing "better." I think a big thing is, do you want other Dewalt tools, or do you want more Milwaukee tools.
Absolutely agree about the battery. I bought a tool that came with a 1.5Ah battery when I thought it would have a 2.0 and I was pretty disappointed. That battery will probably sit in the shelf and rarely if ever get used. They might as well not include a battery and drop the price $10 or give us a 2.0Ah unit!
Someone I’m just a weekend warrior - I just bought dewalt atomic 4 kit + 2 tools free -I have the kobalt xtr 5 tool kit both same price -I’m going to return one kit but -I need some pros to help me out and decided which one should I stay with
Your videos are my go toos keep being awesome I got a dewalt lineup going now for my everyday tools then on the weekend I go with ego tools for lawn upkeep. I got a dewalt impact 787 the one from a couple years ago with one light in the front and that impact gun is my most used tool I have
These aren't part of the XR line is it? Ignoring the MSRP, Can it be assumed these are supposed to be budget entry? It has all the lowest accessories. I really wanted this to be great. How bright is that light on the drill?
Atomic bust... as a loyal Dewalt user I really wanted this to be a great tool option to add to my collection but I am going to have to pass after using it in the TTR.
Right now they have a set of these 2 tools plus circular saw and multi tool for 299. One 2ah and one 4ah battery. I think I'm about to go for it. I want XR but that is pricy. I just don't know how these Atomic compare to 20V Max
I've got the DCD708 which I think is the drill in this video and I love it for the most part. I'd love for some more rpm's on the second speed setting and the battery it was included with (1.5 ah) could be better. Besides that it's been great in my projects over the last year.
The black and decker are almost never worth buying at any price. With all the options in tools these days for just a few more dollars you could get ryobi and be light-years better than that black and decker with a massive tool lineup
I'm a Dewalt guy but when it comes to this type of Driver tool I went with a Surge. I waited as long as I could for Dewalt to address the driver problems and when they presented this I ordered a Surge!
It is to me. Decent power for driving screws all day long. Compact size and light weight. Feels good on my hand. I love my XR drill too but I end up using the atomic way more often than the XR.
I have atomic at home and I have an XR at work. I don’t use drills all day, but the XR is heavy by comparison. If tool fatigue is a concern and you aren’t pounding screws all day everyday, Atomic seems like a great option.
the big question I have is DEWALT ATOMIC 20-Volt MAX is it the direct or grey goods made just for home depot??? I have one tool just in that is dead... back up to home depot over the weekend for an over the counter exchange. date code is mid year 2019 so mfg date is less than 6 months.
I bought my brand new Dewalts power drill at HD today, for $99.99. The smaller bit set was only $15. Ive always wanted a "Manly Man Big Boy" power drill. Im extremely happy that I chose this 20V drill. Even happier for the numerous informative & helpful YT Vids. It feels perfect in my hand... Every woman needs a decent power drill (for basic home DIYs), in her Tool Box Repertoire! 😜
I much rather get the 20 volt XR series impact driver because they are made in USA and come with a fast charger and bigger batteries. If you want better than dewalt, you will have to fork out a pretty penny on festool, fein, or Hilti.
Milwaukee don't mess around they get to the point. I've always preferred there sawzall over any ever made. Milwaukee all time best corded sawzall my first one lasted over 10 years and I was hard on it.. toward the end it was my oldest tool in the box. Buddy of mine dropped it in the deep end of a swimming pool once.. plugged it in the next day and boom still trucking.
Did you measure if atomic radiation levels from these tools are within safe ranges? Currently, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission states that members of the public should not receive more than 2 millirem (about 0.002 Roentgen) of radiation in any one hour from external radiation sources in any public area.
Home Depot has the atomic combo for $179. Amazon has the DCF887 / DCD996 (aka flexvolt starter) combo for $297. The DCD996 is overkill for everything I'm doing and the DCF887 may burn up like a campfire marshmallow. But for $118 more you get dewalt's top end hammer drill and impact driver, a 6ah battery, and the quick charger. The flexvolt battery alone sells separately for $150, so you're basically getting the charger and tool upgrades for free.
I don't think this kit is worth the money at 229, but where I work we have them on sale for 149.99 and that is hard to beat regardless of the size of batteries
With any quick release hex chuck tool, there is going to be significant wobble that varies based on the bit used and the tolerances etc. Wobble on a drill chuck should be much less and more consistent. You could get a run out dial gauge and use the same bit to test all drills if you really wanted to go hardcore. Might make for a good video by itself, just test a whole bunch of drills for run out, especially since they have all been beat on through TTR!
They're awesome if you'd like tools that are 18 volt size with 12 volt power! With that said I think the new Metabo or Bosch or Milwaukee or Makita might beat them... 😜 As an added bonus it comes in a DeWalt man purse instead of in a tough box...🤢
I may have to rethink my opinion of the Atomic line. If these tools are (as I suspect) intended to purge the similar brushed tools from the lineup and become the lower end offerings then they make sense. This is truly "beginner" DeWalt in specs, power, features etc. however very viable tools on an entry level. Batteries/chargers are compatible with the big boys allowing buyers to "step up" whenever they want or can. Dad can set his kid up with a DeWalt kit "just like his" for a considerably lower price. On those terms (marketing+establishing product levels) I would have to say that I think the Atomic lineup is a good idea.
i have the drill and impact and work construction. so far they work just fine. there are better options but for the price honestly they kind of kick ass.
@@VCGConstruction i dont see the smoke it just smells like smoke, its not brushless so i guess you're right brushes rubbing against each other thank you, one last question i wanna know if this is a good investment? the set i bought came with the model numbers dcf885 & dcd 780 it was $140, i dont use for work tho its for my garage incase i have to fix something.
🤔 makes you say hmmm? What was Dewalt thinking 💭 it’s great you use these tools in your TTR really shows the consumer what kind of tool they are spending their hard earned money on!
Here's a review for ya. First things first. These atomic series drivers are home gamer tools. I wouldn't bring them to a 5 day a week contractor's job site. That said, I've been using the $99 drill pack (two Batts and charger) for two years in my home shop and for the money I'm not clear if there is a competitive challenger. This drill has performed beyond my expectations and on some of the shittiest batteries Dewalt makes. They hold a good amount of charge and while the charger isn't but an al cheapo, I've never run out of battery before the charger has finished the other. In fact, I have liked the first drill so much I just picked the combo up in your video for $150 at the homeless despot. I mean, at this point they are either giving them away at cost or else they have figured out a way to make this whole kit for $70. And at $150, I don't care if they are making 200% markup. The combo set is worth $150 all day long. Compared to even my ridged drills from just 6 and 8 years ago, these Dewalt drills are excellent in the home gamer market. I can't believe how far this tech has come that even Dewalts most entry level tools are out performing prosumer tools from 6-8 years ago. Ryobi has come a real long way and makes tools of good home grade quality. Ryobi has been the cheaper go to tool alternative that home owners could rely on to be of good quality. But when it comes to drills, there's no point in buying ryobi over these drills. These atomic series drills are just better altogether and can be used with Dewalts better line of batteries if you have them. Honestly, even if these only lasted say five years under pretty heavy home owner use, these drills are a steal. Under light to moderate use I can't see why these wouldn't last for a decade or more. They will last long enough that you'll want to replace them for the next best thing before they die. One of the few frugal buys at the despot. This time of year, they have a nice drill index and bit set to toss in the bag for $15 extree.. that's a pretty handy all in one bag kit that will handle 98% of any home owner job requiring a drill driver.
I just did a complete kitchen cabinet tear down and rebuild. The Atomic Drill driver hit the mark perfect for my needs. The light weight helped while putting up the upper cabinets with arm relief and I can verify it can drill 1/8" holes and screw in 2 1/2" #10 cabinet screws in to Hickory all the way and all day with a battery swap.

1.5s are nice for weight on a 2nd drill or a tool you will barely use.
I bought the exact kit today. For around the house stuff where they each will only be used a few times a year they should be plenty good for my needs.
I picked this kit (drill + impact) up for $150 on sale. For that price I think this kit is a pretty great deal especially if you're upgrading from some cheapo harbor freight drills like I was. Full $240msrp seems a bit high.

same in December 23, upgrading after a 12v drill black and decker, just for home repairs it will be more than enough
I work at a sugar bush, where we tap maple trees and collect the sap to make maple syrup. We have tons of drills and I know for a fact that these dewalt tools at just as good as any of the others, and the batteries last longer in the cold.
i use 1.5AH batteries on one of my impact drivers when im just fixing electrical wall plates etc. no weight and lasts plenty

Did it come with 1.3 or 1.5 batteries?

Love my atomic compacts had them for a year and they’ve taken a beating continuously impress me
Yo! Dewalt, I want a 2 amp batter at least.

So I just bought this kit and only spent $150 so far I’m happy with the build quality
Good morning guys! Happy Spring! Congratulations on 46k!
The spring on the impact is for one hand bit change ( pull the collar and it shoots out the bit)
what's the exactly difference from these two? looks like both can do the drill and screw driver job
Damn, didn’t know John Stewart is now a leading RUclips DIY influencer.

The Dewalt atomic tools is supposed to replace there low end tools. The Atomic tools are all brushless so there stepping up the low-end tools.
Yeah, I think everyone is misinterpreting the intent of this line of tools. Price is a little high though
Seems like a low end tool soooooo mission accomplished.

I don't think they're part of the XR line. This is just the standard 20v series, just with the word atomic stamped on it.
It's not XR but it does have the brushless motor
It looks like the Chuck it has less wobble then DCF 887 can you confirm it
How do they stack up against the dewalt12 volts
Just picked up set for 150$, that's a heck of a deal so I'm happy.
Would you recommend this combo set or the Milwaukee combo set?
DeWalt, hands down.
Appreciate the reviews, especially with DeWalt coming up with more lines than Baskin Robbins. I'll stick with the XR line.
I’m just getting into tools abs doing research.... what’s the difference with XR
@ Cool stuff, XR stands for extended run time.

I don't think this kit is worth the money at 229, but where I work we have them on sale for 149.99 and that is hard to beat regardless of the size of batteries
I can live with the 1.5 amp hour battery ( 2.0 would be nice) but no fuel gauge ? Hey DEWALT come on man !
Definitely needs a fuel gauge!!
With any quick release hex chuck tool, there is going to be significant wobble that varies based on the bit used and the tolerances etc.
Wobble on a drill chuck should be much less and more consistent. You could get a run out dial gauge and use the same bit to test all drills if you really wanted to go hardcore.
Might make for a good video by itself, just test a whole bunch of drills for run out, especially since they have all been beat on through TTR!
They're awesome if you'd like tools that are 18 volt size with 12 volt power! With that said I think the new Metabo or Bosch or Milwaukee or Makita might beat them... 😜
As an added bonus it comes in a DeWalt man purse instead of in a tough box...🤢
The Truth 😂😂
Love your review good job
First time at this guys channel! Hilarious and entertaining his accent...where’s he from Jersey?
Loved the video. Will pass on the tool. The older DCD791 "Made in the USA" is simply a much better tool.
I just picked a kit like this .. for 80 dollars ahha so was this a ripped off still ?
I just did an impulse buy from a deal site for the XR kit and was wondering if I was going to regret it. Nope
How much was the XR kit?
Have you ever tried talking like a normal human being?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
short-man syndrome...
Yes he’s frickin annoying! Had to change couldn’t hang .
Lol
I'll have to think about it. For my tasks the impact is excessive.
Only complaint I have is my combo kit didn’t come with a belt clip 😑
That says on the back of the motor brushless motor and mine says atomic series-
I may have to rethink my opinion of the Atomic line. If these tools are (as I suspect) intended to purge the similar brushed tools from the lineup and become the lower end offerings then they make sense. This is truly "beginner" DeWalt in specs, power, features etc. however very viable tools on an entry level. Batteries/chargers are compatible with the big boys allowing buyers to "step up" whenever they want or can. Dad can set his kid up with a DeWalt kit "just like his" for a considerably lower price. On those terms (marketing+establishing product levels) I would have to say that I think the Atomic lineup is a good idea.
You have definitely hit the nail on the head.
@@AzTokist Only time will prove me either correct or a fool!
Can’t do Shiet with 1.5amp
i have the drill and impact and work construction. so far they work just fine. there are better options but for the price honestly they kind of kick ass.
I got my dewalt drill kit at lowes
Is the motor suppose to be sparking like that, and it smells like this thing is going to catch on fire, or am i just being paranoid?
Brushes cause the sparks, it’s normal. If you see smoke that’s not normal
@@VCGConstruction i dont see the smoke it just smells like smoke, its not brushless so i guess you're right brushes rubbing against each other thank you, one last question i wanna know if this is a good investment? the set i bought came with the model numbers dcf885 & dcd 780 it was $140, i dont use for work tho its for my garage incase i have to fix something.
I initially thought it was a compact version of the xr line but it just looks like it's a slightly better version of the holiday promo crap they sell.
I’m not sure “better” is the right word to use ?!?!
🤔 makes you say hmmm? What was Dewalt thinking 💭 it’s great you use these tools in your TTR really shows the consumer what kind of tool they are spending their hard earned money on!
More like. What was Stanley Black & Decker thinking. You know, the parent company.
paid 225 for these and as an hvac tech I gota say this is a great bargain, and you save $200 bucks by not buying a guciwalkie
i prefer dewalts ergonomics over milwaukee but i still think milwaukee makes a superior tool
Here's a review for ya.
First things first. These atomic series drivers are home gamer tools. I wouldn't bring them to a 5 day a week contractor's job site. That said, I've been using the $99 drill pack (two Batts and charger) for two years in my home shop and for the money I'm not clear if there is a competitive challenger. This drill has performed beyond my expectations and on some of the shittiest batteries Dewalt makes. They hold a good amount of charge and while the charger isn't but an al cheapo, I've never run out of battery before the charger has finished the other. In fact, I have liked the first drill so much I just picked the combo up in your video for $150 at the homeless despot. I mean, at this point they are either giving them away at cost or else they have figured out a way to make this whole kit for $70. And at $150, I don't care if they are making 200% markup. The combo set is worth $150 all day long.
Compared to even my ridged drills from just 6 and 8 years ago, these Dewalt drills are excellent in the home gamer market. I can't believe how far this tech has come that even Dewalts most entry level tools are out performing prosumer tools from 6-8 years ago.
Ryobi has come a real long way and makes tools of good home grade quality. Ryobi has been the cheaper go to tool alternative that home owners could rely on to be of good quality. But when it comes to drills, there's no point in buying ryobi over these drills. These atomic series drills are just better altogether and can be used with Dewalts better line of batteries if you have them.
Honestly, even if these only lasted say five years under pretty heavy home owner use, these drills are a steal. Under light to moderate use I can't see why these wouldn't last for a decade or more. They will last long enough that you'll want to replace them for the next best thing before they die. One of the few frugal buys at the despot. This time of year, they have a nice drill index and bit set to toss in the bag for $15 extree.. that's a pretty handy all in one bag kit that will handle 98% of any home owner job requiring a drill driver.
Btw these are the promotional 1.3ah batteries 0:26
The website says 1.3ah but the kit did come with (2) 1.5ah batteries!!
I expected 1.3 got 2x 1.5s. Also got a saw $200.
M12 fuel is 220 also. I would bet it has more power than the 20v too.
