Tools and Hardware Reviews of the DEWALT DC750KA 9.6-Volt 3/8-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit
Tool Review: This unit comes with toy batteries, and you can't do anything with that!
Summary: 2 Stars
This unit is for lightweight works only, due to battery limitation, and for such lightweight works, you can find more lightweight tool, with lighter price, too.
BIG CONS:
ALMOST USELESS DUE TO WEAK BATTERY (More on this later)
Can't stand on battery (bad weight balance).
Cons:
1st speed is really too slow, currently speeds are 0-300/0-1100rpm. It'll be much handier, if 1st speed was something like 0-600.
Bulky charger.
Pros:
Nice chuck, really can be used with one hand.
Great overall build quality.
Quite silent (compared to same price range BOSCH tools)
1st speed has great torque, outperformed my 18V Bosch PSR18 in that.
Regarding unit itself, does not think about it as work unit, this is more like a gift to some nerd, who wants to be "real" man, by having real DeWalt tool. While itself unit is reasonably powered, very rigid construction, nice grip and other features included, it's batteries are very weak, making it almost useless for any task. Here's example: I had to hang a big shelf in garage. Walls are made from soft masonry. So I need to drill 4 holes 10mm dia and 120mm depth in masonry for anchors, and also need to drill 4 of 8mm holes into 2mm thick steel stripe. The battery was fully charged, and left in charger for overnight, to be sure that it's fully charged. So, I started drilling. The holes in masonry went like breese, about 10 seconds per hole. Then I went to metal, 1st hole came out quickly, on 2nd, drill started to show signs of slowdown, and on 3rd hole, I only managed to drill 10% or so.
So, fully charged battery output was:
4 holes with dia 10mm in masonry, 120mm depth each.
3 holes with dia 8mm in 2mm thick steel stripe.
THAT'S ALL!
So consider that information when thinking about purchase.
I just can't understand, what is the idea to release such a powerfull drill, with such weak batteries? For light screwdriving? but for such tasks, I'd go out and buy same priced, but much more lightweight and screwdriving aimed li-ion tool! Also, this unit has very fringe balance when standing on battery, tends to fall to front every time, broke several drill bits already!
Later I'll try to purchase these alternative, high capacity batteries available on market and update review, if any interesting output.
