Dewalt Atomic Drill/driver and Impact Set, Are they for the PRO: Toolsday
Вставка

- Dewalt sent me out their atomic drill/driver and impact set to take a look at and give them my feedback. Honestly, it's been sitting in my shop for way too long and found todays toolsday a good reason to open them up. I feel like in todays world, there are way too many options for drills and impact sets and for the most part, no matter what you choose, they will do the job, but are they for the PRO? For me, this set sits in the middle with the average tool that will do the tasks at hand for the average person. I wouldn't put them in my trailer for the jobsite, but I don't think that was their purpose.
With that in mind, understand this set, in my opinion, was great until I saw the 1.5 amp batteries. To me they are useless, but for a homeowner or DIY who won't use these on all day demanding applications, it's probably okay. at $179 for the kit, I think its a good deal.

I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.
Upgraded from an older 18v kit. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.
I’ve been using the Atomic drill and driver for 6 months now as a carpenter and it has not failed me and does a great job.
i bought the dcd794 and 809 but im just goin to use it around the house
I love dewalt. I dropped my impact 3 stories and it exploded on the concrete I put it back together and 10 years later it still runs like a champ
Jesus Christ that's epic lol
Love the Toolsdays an Build series as well, like that you show many brands of tools, what works best for you as a carpenter, general contractor , may not work as well for me a electrician, good to see more then one brands abilitys, thank you and also very entertaining
Good reviews Jarred.
I think these ultra compact units are to be used very occasionally and in partnership with your staple drill and drivers, just for tight spaces where the bigger work horses won’t fit.
Same reason they come with tiny batteries, gives you options.
Jared and Kyle your videos are great! keep doing them, they help! Tool evaluations are awesome and give me things to remember. Thanks a million!
Im pretty new to the channel, but the toolsdays i watched were super useful. I learned more from your previous drill comparison than any other woodworking channels i watch. Just fyi. They’re appreciated. Camera work is great too, well done.
Jared the guy behind the scene helps Kyle look good. You guys are great and to the point. No gimmicks albeit it we love your joking. Humor is the spice of life.
I build office furniture for a living and I would contend that we use our drills as much if not more than any other trade out there. The atomic line is something I been awaiting because we cant really use an impact due to working in office environment and they are loud, so the atomic drill is perfect. There is days that we use our drills 7 hours of a day so the lightweight drill is something im considering. Currently have 20 volt dewalt brushless and brushless xr dewalt 20 volt with the 6 amp batterys.
Tools day is always quality, I’ve always thought it was just like a tv show haha so yea excellent editing
Awesome tools day! Look forward to it every week.
i looked at one to buy last week.
Jared good job. Kyle keep building cool stuff. And testing cool tools
Jared and Kyle keep doing what your doing. Great job guys. I need more video's 😁👍
great job Jared i like the close ups on the product and on how the tool and the job its doing whether its showing us the features of the tool or how it drives in the fastener keep doing this style of footage. thanks guys
espn mk glad you like what we’re doing!
It's good to have a sibling who is willing to help. Way to go Kyle & Jared!
Greetings from Poland. ;)
I can attest that the atomic hammer drill is an awesome piece of kit. Both of these drills are very powerful for their size.
You guys always do a great job! I love all my Dewalt 20v tools
Viva ToolsDay Videos !! Great job both of you. Congrats !!
All my Dewalt drills burnt up and smell like smoke, but the impact drivers seem great. Dewalt feels the best to hold.
I enjoy Toolsday! Well done and good practical reviews as I fit out my tools!
love all the videos..always entertaining and good information,and i always get to see what i want to see,,keep up the good work
Thanks for the work you put into sharing this info Jared and Kyle
Good job Jared and all involved, keep the videos coming
I like tool day, and some cool tools you have showing I never seen before, keep it👍
Great job to both Jared and Kyle! I have always thought your vodeos as a whole are as good, if not better, than others I know are produced by full time companies. Keep on keeping on, and keep being brutally honest.
I've been in the dewalt ecosystem for a long time. just recently picked up the 20v (not atomic) set and am a bit bummed. the batteries were both lemons and the build quality feels sub-par compared to older models I have enjoyed so much. time will tell ....after I return the batteries and get them into use again. will love to hear how they stand up to your field use.
Milwaukee has an impact driver that put out 2,000 inch pounds but I think it's bigger than the DeWalt. Nice job Jared and Kyle.
Man, how am I just finding this guy? Great content and easy to listen to. Got a new sub.
probably designed and priced for homeowner use rather then contractor. Thanks Jared for all you do to make Kyle look good.
Love the toolsday stuff! Wouldn't change a thing
I love these toolsdays! if you want to know what is new you have to see these episodes!
Great job Jared and Kyle. Thanks for the information.
Keep up the good work guys! The videos and content are awesome.
Love watching all your videos, your brother is doing an awesome shooting and editing your video. It’s great to have someone to help you out, it always looks like you have a lot on your plate. I.E running a successful business, house Reno, family time. 🍻
love toolsdays Kyle and let Jared know he's doing a great job and thank you
Great job Gerrard, we appreciate it buddy.
People might get confused by referring to a tool as having “speed” settings. Like a stick shift truck, these are gears. Low gear = higher torque. High gear = lower torque. Low torque for doing moderate tasks quickly, like a bunch of drywall screws. High torque for heavier duty tasks, like putting a huge lag screw into treated 6x6 lumber.
I use the DCF887 and the DCD709 in Vegas as a slot technician and as a part time stagehand and they both have held up well. But if you want to get the most out of these drills I recommend getting the flex batteries. I still keep my 1.5Ahs around as spares.
Good Job guys thanks for the tool video..as for Jared strong work
I use my Atomic drill for hanging doors and drilling decks etc,I've found I rarely use my big drill anymore as the lightweight of the Atomic makes work easier, I even use it for 600x14 and 16 mm auger bits on framework.
Great job Jared and thanks for the videos Kyle
Hi Kyle got this set with the hammer drill option at a home Depot in canada.it was on a clearance rack missing the charger I paid 144 tax in .worth every penny and more .was just a opportunity I couldn't pass up .I don't notice enough difference to care with all my other 20 v drills and impacts i have .the batteries are not the best but that's how they try to keep the price I guess .hope u had a great Easter with family .
Great job with the video I got them just for the having a spare set cause my other set is on it's last leg
Jerald your doing great! Cheers!
Kyle & Jared, Love the Tools day videos. I am part of your subscribers that are not contractors, but a homeowner that loves tools. In your build series, could there be an option where the customer gets to help you with the building? If I lived anywhere near Chicago I would hire you in a minute to build me a shop, but I would love to help. Keep up the videos and quality buildings.
Great job Jared, keep up the good work, I love TOOLSDAY. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great job guys, my go to series for tool reviews
Thanks Alan
The trigger controlled LED light is under your grip, on the frame near the battery. It actually lights the work area extremely well from that angle. No more unboxing without a script for you.
I just purchased this for my father for his birthday, he hasn't had a good drill for a while I think he love these
Love your channel way better than any building show on tv
Good job Jared! Love the reviews
Good job, Jared! I love Toolsday, as well.
Good job guys!! I really enjoy the tooldays video
Tool Tuesday! Thank you Jared!
Would be fun to see a head to head with the Milwaukee Makita and the DeWalt. I am a huge Makita fan.
Looks like a decent set for a cabinet crew or where nice petite tools are appreciated. I generally carry a cordless compact drill and a big 1/2" cordless hammer drill with me anyways. No sense in using a big heavy tool for itty bitty holes. I wonder if a better comparison would have been the M12 Fuel drill since I know that M18 drill is a beast.
Definitely one of my favorite video series' of yours... as for the impacts/drills themself... those seem like a DIY type impact while guys in the trades will use something with more power because we're used to it. Ive also seens Dewalt impacts burn up to the point of smoke coming out of the gun itself... I'll be sticking with Milwaukee myself. great video!
Que buen vídeo, hace poco compré el taladro dewalt DCD777D2 brushless, y este si viene con indicador de carga, pensé que todos los después de ese modelo lo tendrían.
A few days ago, I bought the Dewalt DCD777D2 cordless drill with the same bag, 2 batteries (2Ah) and charger, and this one has a battery indicator. Atomic series I thought it was better, more powerfull but no, it's same or "worse".
Great video.
I own the 885. It's a brushed motor. We have the atomic impact at work and have compared them and the 885 has more power. You can feel the difference just holding them and pulling the trigger.
Thanks Kyle, was starting to think you weren't gonna do tools day, but you came thru! Camera work is just fine, no complaints. I favor Milwaukee over DeWalt in most cases, be a good set for Joe homeowner, the price ain't bad
Good job Jared. Very professional
That impact on full speed is the same rpm and impacts per min as the XR on the 2 setting. I can’t say anything about the drill but I have the atomic hammer drill and it surprisingly works just as well as the XR hammer drill. It does get a little bit hotter faster than the XR but it doesn’t stop working. I’m an electrician and I use them all day 5 days a week. Haven’t had them a full week yet but so far I’m impressed. I’m not impressed with the 1.5ah battery though it last 45 min of straight punishment before it dies.
I'm a fellow sparky, and so far am having about the same experience. About a month into using the atomic impact and hammer drill, both are still doing great. I love em
Love the atomic drill use it everyday!
same
Love toolsday Jarad, keep up the good work 👍
Oh and awesome job on the videos, ya both do a great job!!
Always enjoy your content! Great job!
Good Job Guys. I enjoy your videos
Good job Jared and Kyle 👍
I love Dewalt impact nut drivers. I have the 20V brushless with the big 5ah batteries. They are beast tools and I use mine every single day! Cool to see the new Atomic series that are slightly smaller but no way I’d replace mine unless it broke and I doubt that will ever happen...
Agree don’t run out to buy
RR Buildings I actually just looked and mine is the DCF887B 20V MAX XR and has 2000 in-lb of torque. This new Atomic model only has 1700 in-lb of torque. The fractional size difference is definitely not worth the loss of power...
Way to go Jared. keep up the good work
Good job both of you. Love it. My tool Bible
perfect lol...I'll always do my best to give the most accurate info
Good job Jared!
Nice job. Love the Chanel ! I’m a GC in Cali.
I'm guessing this supposed to be DeWalt's answer to the success of Milwaukee's M12 line of compact tools. If that's the case, I feel like they're missing the mark by a long shot. All of my 18v tools are DeWalt, all of which I'm pretty fond of. I got into the M12 line for the sidewinder ratchets, which nobody else in the industry seems to make. The M12 Fuel 3/8 stubby impact is amazing. I think for automotive guys, the compact nature of the M12 line is key.
Once you get started in a tool line with a particular battery, it's hard to stop. I picked up the M12 Fuel impact driver and drill (without hammer function), the under hood LED light as well as the little bar light and the stapler reviewed in an earlier Toolsday.
All the tools are pro quality. They're not as powerful as the 18v versions, but they're really nice to use when you don't need the power of the larger tools.
Appreciate your honesty .... thanks
Good job Jarred!
Just bought the 20v atomic impact today. Hoping it’s up to the job here in Canada. Cheers
The drill does have a hammer option and light. You didn't look at them thoroughly. I use them everyday and love the series, the one negative is the batteries that come with the Atomic series.
At the $100 (home depot/lowes) price point each
1 battery w impact
Or
2 batteries w drill
I think you cant go wrong. Throw it away when / if they break. Perfect for DIY or remodel work. If your installing subfloors or building decks every day you probably need to spend $$ to get higher quality. I have a set that's just for home use. I use DW hammer drill DCF996 and DCD885 impact on the jobsite.
If I didnt have so many yellow tools I would probably go with red tools.
Great job Keep them coming.
Thanks Jared! 😁
Yes, please keep the Toolsday shows coming. I enjoy seeing all your cool new tools.
I feel like if I want a small drill driver or impact driver I’d just go 12v... the weight of the 18/20v battery is going to negate most of the smaller size, and lets be honest those 1.5Ah batteries are going straight in the back of the cupboard
I got this set for there smaller size.
I installing cabinets and have been doing so with 12v milwaukee,
You are right about the size of the batterys but having so many 20v dewalt tools and batterys it makes sense to switch to this kit for the size and weight.
I used that DeWalt driver for 4 months before the gearbox started eating itself. For medium use it won’t last long.
Kyle, all your videos have been a huge learning lesson for me so thank you!
I prefer harbor freight tools but I do enjoy your tool Tuesday videos!
The light is mounted just above the battery at around 6:58 you can see it.
Great job . I've noticed that your not aware of how the chuck on the milwaukee works.. He is a tip that maybe you can share with viewers. When you tighten the chuck you then click it back 1/4 turn till you feel a click.. This way your chuck lasts much much longer.. Tip from Australia
I love Milwaukee tools but... I have owned both the Milwaukee brushless and the Dewalt brushless and one thing that really seamed to stick out to me was every so often the Milwaukee would have glitches. The impact would randomly switch speeds or the drill driver would just stop working and I would have to pull the battery to reset the unit. Frustrating! But with that said the Milwaukee also has a butt load more power and versatility!
I like my m12 fuel for small light and powerful , I also live my m18 also Milwaukee has everything covered
Kyle, have you ever thought of trying out the Ridgid Octane tools? If so, wondering what your thoughts are on them.
Today's tools are so good that even the underpowered ones are pretty damn good.
Good job Jared thanks
Just got the Dewalt Atomic impact driver on sale for $99.00 at Ace. I use Milwaukee Fuel for work but I think for the price the Dewalt should do fine in my garage.
This whole video was Lowkey a Milwaukee commercial 😂
Good job on both of your parts.
Well, we can clearly see the DCD708’s light even if you “don’t see one anywhere on the tool.” :) It’s right down there at the foot near the battery. I much prefer the three lights on the DCF809 but it’s definitely there… even shining all over your hand.
Good honest review. How do they compare in price?
I think the atomic line is supposed to be more in line with Makita sub compact series... entry level brushless.
thats exactly what it was designed for
everyone seems to not get that
"new thing come out?! Must be best thing!"
Love toolsday. Good job Jarrad
