- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- This is dewalt's new 3/8" 12 volt brushless subcompact drill it is actually very good and better than their new brushless 12v impact drivers. I also compare to the dcd996 the big DeWalt brushless drill. It is surprisingly powerful in first gear it just needs a little better Chuck.
DCD701, DCD701F2 . .
I just bought one of these drills for basic work around the house and you helped me learn about the tool. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
I was very skeptical of the 12v line until I got one and I absolutely love them, their size, and the size of the batteries. Since then I've bought just about every tool of the Dewalt 12v line
Great overview of this drill. I have a 9.6v Dewalt that has to be 20+ years old. The chuck kept slipping recently, couldn't get it off to replace. The Extreme is coming today and for $99 this will be a "why the hell didn't I buy this 3 years ago" head scratcher! Thanks again.. well done!
This is perfect for DIY projects for the apartment. Mounted several TV's since I got this. Very happy
Thank you thank you for your comment! Most advice I get at big box stores are 18v drivers.
Good review, I brought one and using for a couple of years, light and powerful for the job I do.
A huge pro for me is this drill is very light. I use mine to clean showers for older family members. Helps a ton not lugging all the weight at odd angles
great show, very informative. Went and bought the Dewalt Xtreme Brushless 2 Tool Combo Kit. Thanks.
Always love the knowledge you get for free when watching your reviews. I was about to subscribe when I realized I already have years ago. 😂
I bought this in a kit with the impact driver for my dad. He loves them!
My wife and mom just got me the same kit and now I'm looking at the review lol they are pretty damn impressive. I like them a lot already
I got this drill when it came out! It has been great, I once drilled a dull 1/2 inch auger through a telephone pole with it. It survived, but it barely turned that drill bit. The battery and drill instantly heated up.
You have posted this on multiple videos. Very cool. Lmao.
@@whitejor0000 Thanks. It has since fallen high of a step ladder onto concrete. I have a corded makita for bigger bits.
Really great vid! For me who does wood working as a hobby and diy home repairs, this 701 drill is perfect. Bought two 3ah Dewalt 12v batteries and now its perfect for me.
Well done and very informative review. Thanks.
Thank you. A Comprehensive review. I still love my old brushed 12v so I'm not sure if I need to add this to already my 20v platform.
I love my 12v brushed too. I am done waiting for it to die. I got the kit for under 100. Its more compact , lighter in weight, more power, and longer battery life then the old 12v.
I saw a Lowes ad for these upgrades last week and went in and bought all four of the line to replace my current ones. I have always opted to use my 12s over my 20s in all but extreme cases and they have never let me down. EXCEPT..... the so-called reciprocating saw; it has been relegated to only pruning small branches. If you can get one to test, the new 12v impact wrench and impact driver have a selectable Precision Drive mode which is very nice. I agree with the quality of the chuck but if you compare the size difference between the first and second gen drill/driver there is quite a savings in the body length. I'll be putting all my first gen line up for sale soon; I'm happy with the new ones. Nice video, thanks.
Should have gotten the extreme instead
I got the saws all, drill/driver, impact tool, and the 12 volt light with a cool backpack to boot. 🔩🛠🔩
All on sale...@ Lowes.
I found a winnning lottery ticket for 150 dollars walking to Lowes.
So...i bought tools.
Now...
I have to save up for attachments/bits.
Very happy with these. 👍
Great review. Very in-depth 👍 👍
Nicely done Buddy You can’t. Really compare the new tools to the old 9.6 Volt Makitas technology has changed so much since those i worked for a company that had over 80 of those drill sets. We bought back in the early 90s. For all the Millwork installers at that time i was so impressed with them i went out and bought one personally for myself although they were pretty weak compared to newer cordless tools. Those old Makitas. Took a beating and some of the original tools are still being used. Today by that companies installers a couple of the guys are still using their original batteries and chargers ! Sadly my personal one i had somebody steal my original battery. Out of the charger when i had it plugged in and charging on a job out of my eyesight range as a company we did purchase other tools in that same line up like their small circular saw and a compact reciprocating style saw all of those were grossly underpowered it did cut well it started to become a pain to find replacement parts and arteries for those tools so we Did eventually switch the lie over to Dewalt At the request of the Installers I had already began using Dewalt 12 volt that i liked for the power But not the bulkiness these days i use the Dewalt 18 volt because i like its overall Ergonomics and petite size to get into smaller areas plus for a while the 84 Lumber Company was promoting Dewalt products by giving their customers “ Dewalt Dollars “ on larger orders and at the time i worked for a residential builder that. Was using them as our main supplier the owner of the company. Wound up giving me all of those dollars to redeem any personal tools. Felt like purchasing Normally i did not accept those gifts from customers in a effort to not accept kick backs in a effort for a company to persuade me to signing company contracts using them our owner made a decision to give all those gift cards to employees as. A benefit and a Thankyou for our hard work and dedication so i happened to be in luck as I purchased. Just about one of every Dewalt power tools they. Had at the time ! And i had just purchased a new house right down the road from a 84 Lumber store the 12 volt systems are long gone yet many of the coded tools i still have and use
Thanks for the review. I impulse bought a impact/drill combo and haven't got a chance to use them yet, I was thinking of selling them and buying the 20V but it's overkill for what I need, and I only paid $90.00 CAD for the set so I think I did pretty good. After watching this review I've decided to keep them. Thanks again.
i guess Im kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch new series online ?
@Quentin Quinn Flixportal =)
@Dallas Guillermo Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!
@Quentin Quinn Happy to help :)
I bought my 2 weeks ago without knowing that was a powerful for it size, i am so happy no regrets at least is more powerful than my old Milwaukee I really recommend it for drilling holes or driving screws in tight spaces if you want more torque for a heavy job go to a heavy duty brother the bottom line for a DIY is a perfect size 👍👌
Thanks for the review
Will there be a review and teardown of the DCF601?
I got this w recip saw and tool backpack.
Awesome.
Have you taken apart the Milwaukee M12 alongside the Dewalt 12v Extreme impact?
Today Lowes had their display wrong so I paid $99 AND got the free flashlight attachment ($49). It was intended they go back to "regular" price ($139) in exchange for the free light - which is still a decent deal. In all the excitement I forgot my military discount so at least I didn't fully "nail" them on the mistake :) Nice review, bought it spur of moment but after watching this really glad I did.
very nice review
Nice! more power tool review pls!!!
Need help here..
The Dewalt 801 12v impact has more torque than the Makita 18v compact. Is there that big of difference tween 18v subcompact and the Dewalt 12v max?
I like the feel and light weight of both, but do i go 12v or 18? Seems like Makita 18v is not much more power than Dewalt 12v Max
Love the review and the tear down of this and the Milwaukee M12 drill. How has the DeWalt held up? Debating between this and the Milwaukee for home DIY projects.
The ergonomics of the milwaukee suck with the big battery in the handle. The Dewalt 12v xtreme is better.
I had to use a BREAKER BAR to remove the chuck from a dcd791
These drills are badass
Would be good to see how these cope with drilling into masonry without the hammer function. From a DIY point of view would this cover everything
The new "12 volts" that EVERY manufacturer has put out now, really seem to have PLENTY of power & functionality for the average homeowner and DIYer. But they do have a problem...
I know for a fact, if I walked into a Home Depot or Lowes with the intention to pick up a drill, I would completely overlook the 12v tools. Even though, I have RARELY been in a situation where I have needed to make a hole larger than the 1" done here. I still would want the one with more power. I don't know why. It's irrational. I just would. Maybe if I was buying a second drill, I could talk myself into it. But if I'm only going to have one, I'd want the "full size". And I think alot of homeowners and DIYers would feel the same way...
the higher voltage line has more battery options
Lol I see what your saying there. I think we all overlook the 12 volt tools when walking down that isle haha.
I checked a listing on Facebook though, items looks in pristine condition, for $100 + $18 shipping&tax, what was included is:
drill drive, impact driver, 2x 2.0Ah batteries, charger and tool bag! I couldn’t ignore that deal and placed the order, I think the deal was steel.
Great review! I just got this drill (tool only) from ebay since i already have the old dewalt batteries 1.5ah from my old DCD710...just wondering which 12v dewalt batteries would you reccomend if im using it for wood working around the house and diy. I feel like 1.5ah batteries don't last very long...
Get one of the 5Ah ones
@@CatusMaximus was thinking of getting the new 3ah one from DeWalt...
Can anyone say something about chuck spindle wobble compared to the Makita subcompacts? I recently got the 18v Makita and I'm really disappointed how wobbly it is.
He mentioned peeling of rubber on handle: I have the 3/8 impact. It's been through a lot, covered in grease, transmission fluid, and hasnt peeled. So no need to worry about a drill peeling.
I think your video has convinced me to buy this kit. unfortunately, I'm in the UK so everything is twice as expensive. £250 when not on sale, at least it's on sale for 200
Toolstation are doing it for £199just now free delivery or collection I just picked the set up, already got all the other drills and a small cxs but think thta just lacks a bit of power, much better for just small intricate jobs. There is one on ebay just now aswell for about £150 I think with 2 x 2amp batteries.
Does the dewalt have an 1/2 inch chuck
I absolutely love this little drill, i have a new 805. 798 hammer drill, and 777 drill, but this is my go to drill
I'm in the Rigid platform... They really need to revise their 12v offerings.. They're well powered.. just lacking a little in the aesthetics department... can't complain though.. They work well..👍
see I kind of like the Ridgid. The only one thats flat out ugly is Porter Cable, and I had a Ni-Cad P.C. set for years that was a workhorse
Following up on an earlier post. I checked out the Hercules sliding MIter. It looked stout. It was the only other saw besides the dewalt that was stiff from side to side when extended. Every single other saw felt flimsy, even that gorgeous Makita for 600 dollars. One caveat about the Hercules. The arbor had play in and out. This seems like it could cause problems getting straight cuts. That rules it out, right? It’s the dewalt dws779 all the way.
Can this drill through 6.35mm hole on bricks?
Fantastic .....
I was wondering, did you notice the terrible brake? My old 12v and all my bigger 20v drills stop instantly but this new one winds down something terrible. Big let down. I’m an electrician and using it in panels you need precision stopping. I was really looking forward to this new drill. Love every part of it except that. I have no idea why dewalt would miss this. Thoughts?
I think the brake is fine although you are correct my dcd996 20-volt stops immediately where the little 12-volt brushless does rundown it's a software programming issue. It's such a small drill it's probably just an oversight during testing every time you drill and then let go the bit would bring it to a stop immediately and the engineers just wouldn't really notice. Where on the bigger drill it's much more apparent that it has a lot of extra inertia and when need a brake
Old brushed DC motors use a diode when you let off the trigger causing the brush motor to feed back on itself making for those old school instant stop brakes.
On a final note I wish they would have used the electronic clutch instead of the mechanical clutch electronic ones are much more consistent and reliable and you would think it would be cheaper than all the parts associated with the mechanical one.
Can these be used with the Dewalt 20v batteries?
No. The 20 volt batteries are longer and will not fit the tool. There is a 5 amp 12v battery option if you want more power. The charger will charge both 12v and 20v batteries though.
I got the black, ninja, sub-compact eighteen volt kit from Makita when they came out last year. I suspect that your Dewalt twelve has as much torque as my drill without checking the specs.
I was just asking that. Yes the Dewalt 12v Max 801 impact has more torque but my question is, Does the Makita 18v battery make a difference? The Makita puts out 1,240 in pnds and Dewalt puts out 1,450. I have both and need to return one. I like them both!!
Não vejo a hora de chegar no brasil
I very much want to buy the drill impact combo but what is stopping me is they don't have any kind of selection of tools. A couple impacts a drill a screw driver and a "hackzall" brushed mind you. They need to expand and I would have no problem getting into the platform
There's a 12v brushless version of the atomic one handed recip, supposedly Q2 next year (2020). The new 12v omt seems to be top of the pack, with speed settings and features the 20v XR doesn't. Inline screwdriver is due soon, too, but it remains to be seen if it'll be as well designed as the old 8v.
Dewalt no.1 all the way
Can this drill a small 2 inch deep hole in a large rock?
sure but it would be faster with the hammer drill version
Good evening, should I use this drill on settings 1 or 2
Hi speed is for using drill bits and buffing pads sanding pads and general use low gears for driving screws and using large bits
@@CatusMaximus Thank you so much just making sure i wasn't using in the wrong speed
Those 3 speed Dewalt drills are just awesome! Mine is the hammer-less model but it still kicks butt. Even in concrete.
8:46 exactly what an A.I. would want me to think 🤔
Where is the kit with impact and drill $99?
No, each kit was 99 separately. The sale is 160 for the impact drill.
Kit wth impact is $149 at Lowes. His stats are way off also. That impact is rated at 120 ft pounds
What happened to the tear down mentioned early in the video?
He said he's going to make another video.
I watched the whole video all the way to the end and everything. I was waiting for it. I was like, where is this tool teardown? I don’t wanna void my own warranty
You and everyone else who reviews this drill forgets to mention that it doesn't have a break. Don't know what DeWalt was thinking. Having the drill stop right when you release the trigger is crucial for many types of work. The former model DCD710, has a snappier/crisper, and more pro feel. This feels more like a Black & Decker or Harbour Freight special. The impact drill (which does have a break) in this revision is very good, however.
This is a common complaint with brushes motor tools. Old brush motor tools have a diode Which engages when the trigger is released Causing the motor in a feedback on itself and stop very quickly.
Corded Miter saws have a habit second motor winding and a special switch which Engages it when you release to cause the motor temporarily feedback on itself.
For some reason on the brushless tools they just have not implemented temporary reverse when the trigger was released.
@@CatusMaximusBut why should that matter? I have other DeWalt brushed and brushless drills that have a break. The 791 is brushless, right? And the 710 is brushed I believe. Both have breaks. I did a test on my door hinges and the 701 kept on rotating quite a lot, whereas my other Dewalts stop immediately when I release the trigger. That's when I said, forget it, I'm returning this. When I'd release the trigger on reverse, then the screw would often come off completely and fall on the floor, in forward, it would cam-out the screw. You especially don't want a drill to keep on drilling when doing finished work. Sorry, I'm complaining again, but I'm dumbfounded, no one seems to care about this.
Only prob is the lack of 1/2 chuck...
Used mine for about two hours and it doesn’t work anymore
It’s too weak, 2ah is rip off
Am i the only only that is mislead and got gotten? Lowes site has the dcd701b drill/driver labeled as a 3/8 on specs but title says 1/4 lol but thats not my issue. My issue is that this drill despite saying it on the specs it shows a pic of hammer drill function on the chuck. I bought it for $99 plus tax wit 2 batts and a charger cuz i thought it was same as dcd706b(in terms of having a hammer drill function) which was $119 plus tax. The stats show the one i got dcd701b to bit more compact and that's what seemed to me to be the only diff. I think i was tricked. Lol i gotta see what happens when i put it on the hammer function lol maybe its just a pic on the chuck cuz its the same chuck on the dcd706b which is supposedly the drill wit hammer function. If mine doesnt do hammer function then its goin back
I got the impact wrench version of this. That fan is kicking. It spits out air two feet from the tool. Not something I’d want to use on caliper slide bolts as I suspect cheap Chinese brake pads still contain asbestos. I know they do. I’ve read the studies. It seems like in a scenario like this a brushed compact impact wrench would be superior.
Dewalt 12v Max or the Makita 18v subcompact?
Dewalt has more torque believe it or not and its less money. Does the 12v and 18 v batteries make a big difference?
Even though the Makita subcompact may not have more torque there's a lot more Watt hours in that 18 volt battery so it will certainly last longer per charge especially considering you can get large-capacity 18 volt batteries but you sacrifice weight and the fact that 18 volt batteries are much more expensive than the 12 volt.
Yeah but who wants another battery set?
Yeah but the 12v uses the same charger as the 20v
Me
Something wrong wth your stats my friend. That impact is rated at 120ft pounds not 42. Which is 1,450 in pounds
Not a fan boy and yes more expensive but the Milwaukee offering in the M12 Hammer drill with the all metal 1/2 inch chuck and metal gear housing beats Dewalt's little plastic 12 volt toy. Cheers.
Look for the dcd706 is 12v hammer drill driver and has full metal chuck here in England but it's 3/8 rather than half inch like the milwaukee m12.
O
Under sell and over deliver.
