    Failure Video - • Gearbox Issue On Our D...
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    In My Opinion, The Home Depot Exclusive Dewalt DCD794 and DCD799 are some of the most powerful compact drills we have ever used. It is sad we had a failure on our first DCD794, but this video provides serious redemption for those products. The ONLY miss for many people will be the lower RPM of these drills. On high the max RPM is 1,650 and on low, it is 450. Most battery-operated drills run at 2,000 RPM on high and 550 on low. The lower RPM might equate to the power these drills are able to provide.
    The DEWALT Atomic drills are the shortest 20-volt drills that DEWALT currently makes. They provide a small footprint with great ergonomics and in some cases provide enough power that the user might want a side handle!
    Both the DEWALT DCD794 and DCD799 are very impressive drills. I feel most people would enjoy using a nice, small drill when completing daily tasks.

    Great follow-up video on this series. Becoming more compact every Gen. My 796 continues to serve me well under regular DIY conditions. Though I have asked it to do 1" in concrete and did it. If I were starting out, I'd have confidence in this drill.

    People complaining about the vents of a drill being covered up sound like Apple with the whole "you're holding it wrong" thing. It's pretty much a given that you use a drill with both hands. Lots of people have large hands and lots of people wear heavy gloves, while the drills are only getting smaller. If a drill's performance is in any way affected by how I'm holding it then as far as I'm concerned it's a bad design. If anything I'd love to see our host cover them up as much as he can so if there are inherent issues with overheating we'd be alerted.

    If you need a compact drill/driver and you're looking at DeWalt I highly suggest the DCD800. It's the non-hammer version of the DCD805. If you need the hammer function then you need a bigger drill anyway.

    • @Stengell
      @Stengell Рік тому +1

      Amen... hammer drills are often useless for concrete used in modern buildings, get the smaller DCD800 as a drill driver and then get an SDS rotary hammer for concrete, even the cheapest crap will do better than a DCD805.

    Ive consolidated all of my carpentry tools to dewalt flex volt.
    I do a lot of homeowner stuff with them , cabinet shop work , custom mini cabin builds and commercial showroom build outs.
    Dewalt just never disappoints but I am interested in a stubby hammer drill for right space work in the showrooms.
    Many of them have poured concrete ceiling in high rises that require steel studs to be attached to concrete ceilings.
    We usually use corded Bosch hammer drills for this but we have used cordless dewalt hammer drills successfully but never a compact hammer drill.
    Could have used one many times.

    Yellow n black have rarely let me down and when they have, it was generally simply from pushing them too far when far too hot 🇦🇺
    Unfortunately our local dealers only supply made in🇨🇳 👎so
    .... I do always import my tools from 🇺🇸 to get the 🇲🇽 made models...for some reason they just 'feel/sound' better imo.
    In fact, we don't even have the DCD800 in ANY store in 🇦🇺, God bless USPS🍒

    Isn't the 799 rated at up to 552 UWO while the 794 is up to 404 UWO? I guess that's why the hammerdrill performs slightly better than the drill/driver.

      Showing your ignorance there. As a contractor for 10 years I have 90% dewalt cordless, in 10 years I've had 1 impact driver, 1 battery and 1 oscillating tool die out of 30 batteries, 6 impact drivers and 4 oscillating tools that's a very good reliability rating considering I used these tools a lot in all weathers. I get at least 5 years out of a hand tool with very heavy use.

      ​@@vontrap6942 When you spread out your usage over so many similar tools and still end up with a 20% failure rate (2 out of 10 tools failed) then it's either that the tools are bad or your math is bad. Paying Makita prices for a rebadged Black & Decker is a lot more ignorant than anything I've said.
