Strength and Speed
DEWALT-designed electronics have been built into the DCD780C2’s switch to provide greatest or most complete or best possible life for the tool and battery by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading, and deep discharge for the duration of use. The 20-volt’s lithium-ion batteries provide up to 35 percent more runtime than existent 18-volt lithium-ion battery technology. The included charger has dual voltage capabilities, and it is compatible with both 12-volt max and 20-volt max DEWALT lithium-ion batteries; the DCD780C2 is likewise compatible with the 3.0 Ah lithium-ion batters that are available as substitute packs or come with the premium tools. Plus, the drill’s high-power, high-efficiency motor delivers 350 unit watts out of greatest or most complete or best possible power for superior performance in light and medium drilling applications. A 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts provides superior bit-gripping strength—reducing slippage for the duration of high-torque applications—thus supplying longer tool life. The drill/driver’s two-speed (0-600 RPM and 0-2,000 RPM) transmission allows users to select the suitable speed for the occupation at hand and is up to 30 percent rapidly and without delay than current drill/drivers on the market. Comfort and Convenience
The compact drill’s design incorporates a slim handle with contoured grip that extends user ease for the duration of long jobs, and DEWALT’s engineering and design team adjusted the product footprint and weight percentage for idealisti remainder and a lightweight feel, making the 3.4-pound tool easy to maneuver in tight areas. Its 7.5-inch length is half an inch shorter than other presently available drill/drivers. The bright built-in LED work light above the trigger has a 20-second delay that improves visibility in dimly lit spaces. About DEWALT's 20-Volt Mx Lithium-Ion Tools

 Excellent Drill
By Michael McKee
Like some guys I've expended time doing construction. My original cordless drill was the introductory Makita, which lasted me through a couple of battery replacements. Since I'd gotten back to a desk and had lost the wrist strength to a use pro grade cordless, I substituted it with a Black & Decker VPX1212X Li-Ion 14.4-Volt VPX Drill Driver, which is light sufficient to use and powerful sufficient to drive screws through 2x4s. For larger jobs, though it is batteries didn't last long sufficient and took too long to recharge.
Enter the DeWALT. With it is lithium ion batteries, it's light sufficient for me to use for hours. The batteries last for hours, too. I expended all day putting up a fence. The basi battery got me through lunch and into the afternoon. I gave out before the second battery did when it comes to time to put a lot of fish on the grill. It has a great deal of power. It isn't an affect driver drill, which makes is more or less less powerful. On the plus side of that it has an adaptable clutch. When I get tired I rely on that a lot to not overdrive screws. It has two speeds. High is a great deal fast sufficient to run a drill. Low has a variable speed, which is nice on delicate work. The handle is just right for my med-large glove size and may be used by those with littler hands.
The drill has all the little features I'd suppose on a pro model. There's an LED light, a lanyard clip and a belt clip, as well as a clip to hold a screw bit. One nice touch is that the belt clip and screw bit holder are removable and may be swapped for left handed users. It has a 1/2 inch chuck.
I have a 25 year old DeWALT belt sander and a Porter Cable (same company) orbital sander that are both still going strong and have always considered DeWalt to make rugged and authenti tools. This has a 3 year fixed warrante and a 1 year full one. As a home proprietor I suppose this to last, even though lithium ion batteries have a definitive shelf life limit. 13 of 13 persons found the following review helpful.
 Amazing power for it's size, but don't trust the clutch
By DaveKamm
This is amazingly powerful for such a little tool. Very light and easy to use. It fits into much littler spaces than the drill it replaced. Like most of the drills I've used though, it's clutch is not to be trusted. During assemblage of various face frames using this tool with a Kreg jig, the drill started overtightening and stripping the screws. At the time of failure, the clutch was set at 10 and I had already tightened when it comes to 20 screws with no problems. Oh well, I'll go back to snugging the screws with the driver and hand tightening the rest of the way. I just thought I would see if this drill had a more authenti clutch than past drills. It doesn't. If it lasts, I'll still consider this a good purchase. 23 of 26 persons found the following review helpful.
Contractor grade in a light-duty package
By Lincoln J. Mennuti
+++ THE PROS +++
[+ UTILIZES LI-ION TECH]: Li-Ion offers more power in a smaller/lighter package, vs. NiCad and NiMH.
[+ LED GUIDE LIGHT]: Positioned above the trigger. Turns on when you pull the trigger and auto-off after 20-seconds of non-use
[+ 2-SPEED MOTOR]: High speed (up to 2,000rpm) for drilling, Low/Variable speed (up to 600rpm) with clutch for driving
[+ LIGHT WEIGHT]: The 1.5A batteries weigh 12oz each. With battery inserted the total drill weight is 3.5lbs
[+ 2 X 1.5A BATTERIES]: With each 1.5A battery competent of providing various hours of runtime, you're not genuinely giving up much runtime at all to have a lighter drill (vs. having a single 3.0A battery). That, in combining with the quick-charger being competent to charge a battery more quickly than it takes to drain one...You could actually keep working with the drill on-stop, perpetually.
[+ DUAL VOLTAGE QUICK CHARGER]: Charges a battery in 30min and if you occur to also use Dewalts' 12V MAX line, this charger will charge those batteries as well.
[+ INCLUDES HEAVY-DUTY CARRY CASE]: With the included belt-clip, the drill could just as without apparent effort be a part of your tool belt or be in your tool box/chest. But if you like having a place for everything and everything in its' place, then the included case keeps your 20v kit together nicely and must be strong sufficient for the occupation site
--- THE CONS ---
[ - ACTUALLY 18V SYSTEM]: At full charge and checked with no load, you get the 20V reading. The actual in-use voltage is 18V. But so as to not confuse this new line with their other 18V lines that don't use Li-Ion, Dewalt calls these the 20V "MAX" system. So you'll need to remove the voltage difference, when doing comparison shopping, to other 18V systems.
*** FINAL THOUGHTS ***
I've got huge hands (XL size gloves) and find this drill to be comfortable to hold, well balanced and even only after a short time of use the lighter weight is appreciated. The included instructions warn that using the variable speed of the drill may shorten the life of the motor, so it's in particular nice having a clutch so you may just run the motor full tilt all the time and have the clutch kick-in at the right amount of tightness/torque you want.
This is a new product line, based on the long time success of the 18V line and brought up to current technology and ergonomics. Well recommended. See all 18 client reviews... |
