DEWALT DC720KA, A bit overrated….

A bit overrated….
I’m a contractor and our company specializes in erecting condos so we are more than familiar with our power tools. When I first started my job I invested in this DeWalt drill since EVERYONE has one. After using it for a while I feel that it is not all that [...]

Hitachi DV14DL 14.4-Volt, Great at home for an ex-pro

Great at home for an ex-pro
I’m an retired construction project manager(commercial/industrial) and I fully researched this Hitachi drill/driver before I purchased it. It’s replacing a great 13 year old Porter Cable 12V d/d (with Magna-Quench!), for which good batteries and chargers are now all but non-existent.
In the month I’ve had the [...]

Makita BDF452 18-Volt, GREAT drill!

GREAT drill!
I have this kit along with the Makita BDF452HW kit and love them both to pieces. Both are solid performers in every sense of the word and are very light as well. I have worked the crap out of both of them and they just keep asking for more. You simply cannot go wrong [...]

Makita BHP454 18-Volt, Believe the hype

Believe the hype
Popular Mechanics’ glowing review of this drill is well deserved in my opinion. It is light, fast, well-balanced, and easy to use. Bosch’s competing model (17618-01) feels faster and stronger, but it also weighs a ton, is a bit lengthy, requires you to switch between driving and drilling modes by rotating the 25 [...]

Hitachi DS18DL 18-Volt, New technology - best drill..

New technology - best drill ever!
I have purchased several brands of battery powered drills for installing electrical lines in new construction, so I tend to use my cordless drills more than most. This Hitachi is hands down the best I’ve ever used. Not only the superior torque, but the battery life is incredible. [...]

Makita 8444DWDE 1/2-Inch, Best on the market

Best on the market
The makita 18 volt hammer drill is the best drill you can buy. I am an electrical contractor and have bought many of the yellow ones and the red ones but after using them every working day for 8 years we have our opinions. The battrey life is twice as long. It [...]

DEWALT DC988KA 18-Volt, hammer drill vs rotary..

hammer drill vs rotary hammer
a note to ‘R. Saccenti’: there is a big difference between hammer drills and rotary hammer drills. hammer-drills, like this cordless dewalt use 2 grooved plates that rotate opposite of each other. when they slip and the grooves connect, a bang is heard. this “hammers” the chuck, which in turn, drives [...]
