Questions & Answers
Yes. To begin with, it is more effective than using a brush. It uses less power when running with a light load. According to Dewalt, you can get up to 20 more runtime from the same charge. There is a youtube video of a guy drilling 1/2" holes into a board with a brushless and a traditional dewalt drill, and the 30% is possibly conservative. There is a It drills 190 holes, compared to only 92 for the brushed. The second benefit is that Brushes do not need to be replaced because they do not wear out. To tell you the truth, I have a lot of brushes. ed instruments and as a do-it-yourself project er I've never had to replace the brushes on any of them, but for a pro or heavy user, this could be a benefit. A third advantage is that the tool can be made smaller or more powerful (given the same size).br>The "brush equipped" design has only one advantage: it's less complicated Because the brushless motor uses electronics rather than a mechanical commutator to change the direction of the DC current, it adds another point of failure.
Unfortunately, I was unable to locate amp hours on the box, and when I inquired of Lowes employees, they stated that the voltage was 20 volts. I had to explain that I needed amp hours, and it took me a long time to figure out that the batteries in this kit are 1. 3 Ah. The only place I've seen it mentioned is in the questions in this Amazon ad. Lowes had two 3Ah batteries on sale for $99 each.
The included batteries are small and light, which is ideal for my needs. These 20v batteries come in three capacities, the smallest of which is sold by DeWalt. Because the length of time they last varies greatly depending on the task, it will be impossible to predict for someone else. These small ones, in my experience, last about as long as the 18v Ni-MH batteries. This set replaced a Cad Dewalt system that was 18 years old.
There isn't a battery life meter on it. It comes with two batteries, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Selected User Reviews For DEWALT 20V MAX* Cordless Drill / Driver Kit, Compact, Brushless (DCD777C2)
I had an old Kawasaki 18V Drill that was no longer charging. As a result, I was excited to start working with the higher-end power tool lines. After watching a few YouTube videos, it appears that Milwaukee has a higher build quality, but it is also more expensive and is not sold directly by Amazon. So, at $99, this brushless drill appears to be more than capable and a good value for my DIY needs. I was driving cement board screws into a hardie board for the first time, a job that my old Kawasaki drill had no trouble with. This Dewalt drill's power keeps cutting out for some reason. It would work if I let go of the trigger and squeezed it again, and it might or might not drive the screw home before the power went out. I had to pull the trigger anywhere from one to four times for each screw. This is simply unacceptable for a brand-new tool. In addition, the transition from slow to fast speed is very abrupt. You gradually pull the trigger in, the drill slowly turns, and then the high speed engages. There is no break in the action. It's difficult to do delicate work with this, and it's very easy to strip the screw. I eventually settled on a brushed Milwaukee drill that didn't have this issue. I'm fairly certain I received a lemon. There can't be that many Dewalt fans out there. Only my personal experience qualifies me to make such a statement.
This item is extremely deceptive. Despite the fact that it says drill/impact, it is only a drill. If this isn't the case, don't show any images of an impact.
drill with a reasonable price The DEWALT DCD777C2 is an excellent mid-range tool. drill with a reasonable price It comes with two easily charged batteries and plenty of torque to handle any job I throw at it. It promotes a three-pronged approach. inch hole saw easily cuts through pine boards, sinks 2 1/2 screws into pressure treated 4x4 posts without difficulty, and adjusts down nicely for wallboard work. The included bag is also a plus, and I'm happy with the product enough that I'll keep it until it breaks. Still, I wish I had spent a little more money on a better drill. Because of the following reasons:
1. Occasionally, the chuck will let go on its own.
2. The handle is too small to be comfortable, and the platform is insufficient for heavy use.
3. The never-ending the- The reverse control's position is a constant source of annoyance, and it makes me wonder if the manufacturer did any ergonomic testing. br>The four-part series The value/price ratio of this drill is reflected in the star rating.
It's possible that this one will last longer than the other two. Although there is a brushless version, it lacks torque. Low-speed torque, especially for starting. If you drive a lot of 2-door vehicles, this is a good option. If you've ever used a 20v Dewalt (or similar) to drive 3 inch screws, you won't like this one. Even low-cost Craftsman 19-volt drill drivers will struggle to keep up with this one. I own two 771 models, and they are the best cordless devices I've ever owned. Experience of 30 years. Perhaps drilling or using only 1 inch screws will suffice.
charger as well as the driver The tool is excellent as a brushless driver, but the plastic chuck is a bit shaky when used as a drill. My first few holes were too close to a metal edge, and the chuck was immediately chewed up. The chuck is made of good plastic, with well-defined ridges and a secure ratcheting clamp. For the time being, runout (a little wobble) appears to be fine, but I don't have a dial on hand to check it. It's good for freehand drilling, to put it that way. Overall, the tool is a great backup drill, a fantastic driver, and the kit value is unbeatable. The clutch and gear selector snap confidently and feel robust, according to my research, and this one has a nylon gear housing and powder-coated finish. Because it is made of metal gears, don't expect it to last forever if you abuse it. I'd buy this drill in a heartbeat if I needed a drill for my house. br>The charger is the less expensive fanless model, which is fine for these small batteries, but don't load it up with a 5Ah unless you're going home for the day.
I've never used a better cordless drill. There is a lot of speed and power in this vehicle. The additional battery is extremely useful. It meets all of my drilling and screwing requirements as I construct my Hollywood-style Lighted Vanity Mirrors.
I removed a 4'x8' (painted) board on my first project with this drill. removing) plastic lattice panels from around carport enclosures, then replacing them with new, different-colored lattice panels held in place with 1" screws I spent about 5 hours zipping screws in and out, and I was still on my first battery when I finished the project, which I am impressed with. Because I didn't expect one to last that long, I went with 5ah batteries. This drill/battery set is also significantly smaller than the 18v NiCad B. I replaced the batteries in my D drill, and they now last much longer. I'm glad I went ahead and bought it.
Nothing happens when you pull the trigger. If you press it again later, the drill will continue to work until it breaks. Nothing happens when you press the trigger again. The drill now works when you press it again. Rep until you're sick of it. br>br>Because I was working outside in the cold, the drill may have malfunctioned. However, I completed the job with my old Dewalt cordless drill, which was running out of batteries. I purchased a new drill to replace the old drill. The new one appears to be a toy in comparison to the old one. br>br>Just looking at the drill's picture online, with all of its jazzy racing stripes and such, I was a little hesitant. It didn't appear to be a serious tool. But, hey, it's a Dewalt, and I've been buying Dewalt drills since the company was revived a few years ago. br>br>Enough is enough. I'm thinking of returning to Makita or Milwaukee. Dewalt is a division of Black and Decker, a company known for producing shoddy tools. B, it appears, is D is bringing his trash ethic to the Dewalt line, which is unfortunate. So sad.
