    DeWalt also has a locking collar on the offset drill attachment, which retains the bit when pulling out... The Milwaukee doesn't, so the bit gets stuck in the material and pulls out of the tool, definite oversight on Milwaukees part.

  • @speake7777777
    @speake7777777 2 года назад +5

    Bosch has a version of this called "flexiclick" in both 12V and 20V. Only the 12v model has a stackable 90 degree, although maybe it will fit on the 20V model, also for the 20V model there is a hammer drill gearbox available separately, much like the Black + Decker Matrix/ craftsman Bolt-On. I've had the 2nd gen matrix for a few years now, and have torn up pallets to make crates with it, and other jobs and found it to be quite awesome, since a lot of tools have essentially the same motor just different gearboxes, and for the ones that are seldom used the space is more valuable than special jigsaw features for example if you are not a wood worker. Also working at a friends place it is nice to have basically a whole shop in a small bag for all the "little things" she didn't mention before you showed up. It is too bad they are using less metal on the chucks with each version, and using the 2ng gen amazon reviews and listing with the updated 3gen tool so I don't know what if any improvements have been made, or if it is just cost cutting.

    Direction switch placement is crucial when pulling drywall screws with a nut buster socket. No need to dig the mud out of the Phillips sluts, the nut buster grips the outer head.
    Using pliers in the non dominant hand, grab the now freed tire ventilation device, reverse direction and clear the socket for next screw. Hit reverse switch again. 5 per minute or more.

I see that there is good availability of battery adaptors so that you are really only constrained by choice of voltage. In any case, I've found that Amazon has 3rd party Makita type batteries that work just fine.

    I use the 12v dewalt screwdriver (DCF601F2) at work, nothing but love for it. The milwaukee 12v drill/driver I used previously cramped my hand holding that fat handle. Broke it from a drop off a 12ft ladder. The dewalt you can sit uprite rather than on it's side only cause of the flat battery pack. Really good balance. It's the only dewalt tool on my truck though but I am impressed.

    You should take a look at the Bosch version of this, the GSR12V-FCB22. It's 25% lighter, about 30% more powerful, smaller, includes two batteries, and is generally cheaper (though the price varies wildly for some reason depending on where and when you buy it; I picked it up for $150). I'm a DeWalt guy for 18/20V tools, but I prefer Bosch for 10.8/12V.

    So my take away is they are both good tools. If you can get over the forward reverse switch the M12 is a bit smaller. The compact size helps me more than a switch location. Second I prefer the Grip of the M12 and the fact that it has a bit holder.

    On the batteries, I've had a makita DHP481 driver sitting on my desk for.. I'm not sure maybe 5 years.. possibly like 7 or 8 with one 5AH 18v battery on it the entire time, I know I've charged it at least once in all that time, maybe twice. It's for sure been over two years since I last charged it and it still shows 2/3 leds on the battery monitor. I never use it really but I drilled some holes in an alloy box with it and put some new hinges on my gate the other day, works no problem. Maybe the newer tools are leaching power but this thing can't be, I was surprised it wasn't dead.

      With 18V, no problem (but increasing weight and especially tool height a fair bit). However, converting a 10.8V in-handle battery to connect to a slide-underneath-the-handle tool isn't going to be compact or ergonomic in any way, shape or form.

Still to this day I don’t know what caused it. It was a very old wasn’t even broken in yet. It was making a grinding sound, and I thought one of the bearings shit the bed. So I took it apart and found that little ring. Put it back together and still sounds like shit. Does not sound pretty. I don’t use that one very often it’s twin brother, it’s cousin the 3/8” square drive socket wrench and my screwdriver all works fine though… Do you want if for your own evaluation?
