Best Dewalt Drills
Battery loses power but is still fully charged – I bought the 10 piece cordless kit, which came with 3 batteries. Battery life is really poor on all 3 batteries. They are now 12 months old and its… Read more
getting worse. Drill dies after putting in 10 screws and will go through all 3 batteries within an hour. If it was only 1 battery playing up, I would understand but 3? The batteries seem ok when using the blower and tools that don't need the power.
Really disappointed and would expect a lot more from this brand.
Dewalt DCD778
Easy to use! – Replaced an old drill with this one and it has been easy to use, reliable and with a long lasting battery. Like one of the other comments, the color makes it easy to find which can be handy. Show details
Great drill – Nice little compact impact driver. Lots of good little extra feature such as LED light, belt clip etc. Has plenty of power and good control using… Read more
the trigger carefully.
The battery life is good though I've had more luck with some after market batteries I bought than with the original batteries.
DeWalt DCD796
Amazing drill, regret not buying this sooner! – I wish I bought this drill sooner, I previous had an Ozito Hammer Drill, and using that drill to drill into masonry, it was an almost impossible job,… Read more
some holes took me 30-60 minutes as the drill would always overheat and I would run out of physical energy. This drill, for the same type of hole, I could do it in 10 seconds with very minimal energy. If buying this for masonry/brick, I would highly recommend this drill.
Bought this as a kit with 2 X 5 Ah batteries, charger and a hard case.
Dewalt DCD795-XE
Bought on past DeWalt good quality BUT.....! – Bought the drill March 2021, it had developed a horrible crashing sound when the trigger is released, now December 2022 it will not select high speed… Read more
range, despite registering the product when bought, DeWalt customer services don't want to know me because I don't have proof of purchase, after a load of searching I found the receipt This was originally a critical review but after a bit of phoning etc., I have my CDC795 supposedly repaired at no cost to myself even the shipping costs were covered under the warranty but I don't think it is repaired correctly. I was disappointed that after 18 months of light use my drill broke down. It was identified by the approved repairer as a simple gear selector failure, it is now working but still has the original problem which I believe caused the selector to fail so I expect it to fail again. I think my brief association with DeWalt may be at an end. .
Dewalt D21520-XE Mixer and Rotary
not bad but misleading product information – It appears to be a well built product, however a big disappointment out of the box. The product information says "Variable speed reversing switch… Read more
offers greater control for a wider range of applications". "Variable speed" was a key to purchasing decision. It's not variable speed drill, it kicks off into full speed doesn't matter how softly you squeeze the trigger. Intended to use for mixing paint.... I can see the paint splashed around on the walls once this thing starts.
DeWalt DCH133N-XJ
Work great all the time – Love the Dewalt Hammer Drill. This drill works great especially drilling into brick and concrete, so quick and easy. Very reliable and never overheats. One of the many Dewalt products I’ve got this year, I’m very happy with.
DeWalt DCD996N-XE
Unreliable – Drill came as replacement for stolen older reliable non brushless model. It lasted 6 uses before it stopped working. Made in China this drill model is proving problematic (note many web postings) and parts are very expensive. One to avoid.
Dewalt DCF887N-XE
Failed under handyman usage. Not worth the extra money. Rubbish Show details
very poor design and materials and shouldnt be on the shelf – This tool looked the part, and has great branding (why I bought it), but doesn't do the job intended. The driver bits fit into the powerful magnetic… Read more
driver, but way too far, rendering the tool unable to do its only job (turn a screw), and needing a pair of pliers to remove the bit. Another extension piece has so little iron content that it falls out of the magnetic driver head. Again useless! On returning the product staff at the shop could see the problem. Refund granted, and bought another brand that works.
