The DeWalt is an amazing drill, have one myself, but it is not 60v or 54v. It is the standard 20v/18v but gains more power when using a Flexvolt battery. Great video!
No it actually stays at 35 or so. The drill specifically is the only tool that doesn’t fully go up to 54v. Of course only when paired with the flex volt battery. That being said, there isn’t much performance difference between their XR hammer drill and their Flexvolt drill.
Thanks Sparky Great video Here in Ireland Dewalt are the most popular battery powered tools but Milwaukee are making inroads and getting more popular .Either way they both make fantastic tools.
Thank you for taking my suggestion and doing a video on it. However I'd like to point out that the DCD999 flexvolt advantage is not actually a 60V flexvolt tool. It is in fact a 20V tool that can simply take better advantage of the cells in the flexvolt batteries. Anyway, great comparison thanks for the video!
I usually go with milwaukee on everything. I have a m12 fuel drill but sometimes it stalls on bigger stuff like paddle bits and hole saws. Got the dewalt 999 on the way. Have a deal on fleet and farm for $179. Get the power stack batteries and select drill as free tool.
Never used many Milwaukee but used Dewalt and Mika and the 99 hammer series is best drill I've ever used. You honestly can rough a house with it. Where a stand drill would quit on you.
You're not running 54v with the Flexvolt battery on the drill. You're running 18v with a longer lasting battery that's compatible with 60v (54v) tools.
It says 20V right on the left side of the 999. In 2 different places!! And it says 20V again on the right side. In 2 places!! I believe it also says 20V on the bottom of the tool as well!! It’s not a 60V tool!! It’s not a 54V tool either!! Come on man!!
@@inkman002The battery can work in 60v or 20v tools, the drill is a 20v tool (actually 18v). The reason why the flexvolt gives more power than a small 4ah xr battery is because of the AMPERAGE discharge rate of the cells inside. Again: this drill is NOT running on 60v.
@@SparkyChannelIt's not. Flexvolt batteries run their cells in series (60v) or parallel (20v), so they are FLEXible and work in 60v and 20v dewalt tools. That drill is a 20v Max tool, it 100% does not run on 60v. If you use a 20v battery with the same 21700 cells as the flexvolt battery (like the 6ah XR 20v) it will perform exactly the same.
I find that all the top tool brands make amazing tools, the makita has the best impact driver the Milwaukee has an amazing multi-tool but dewalt make the best combi drill hands down, all great tools and it comes to personal choice
I own all dewalt tools, but i think at this point i will start buying starter kits for other platforms, dewalt are great but they cannot compete atm with nailers and planers etc. I think if you have a battery foundation at the right price you can venture forth and but the best tool for the job.
Both these drills are 18 volt drills. They are both running on 5s batteries. That’s 5cells wires in series. 3.6 volts nominal per cell times 5 is 18 volts. Fully charged batteries are 4.2volts per cell so close to 21 volts when batteries are fully charged.
That is safety feature of dewalt to keep longevity of battery,otherwise if you keep running you shorten life of battery from my point of view that is advantage and only this feature on the market has dewalt. Best regards from:Stijepo-croatia
@@stijepozupa5150 I realize it’s a safety shutdown feature but when the tool is so hot you it’s uncomfortable to hold when the battery shuts down, the next battery doesn’t work long. Then there’s the cool down time for the battery to charge. 3 main tools I use have this issue recip saw, grinder and hammer drill. I was just saying the same tools in Milwaukee don’t over heat.
Don't understand the rivalry they are both great tools. Loads of banter with the lads at work. What I will give to milwaukee is a lot of the new gear is pioneered by them. I've had dewalt since they were called Elu so I'm in that eco system and would be silly to change.
Seems dewalt has milwaukee beat here, im big biased because all my power tools are milwaukee but you can't deny that milwaukee just got beat. However I would still rather have milwaukee for the longer battery life, even if dewalt is faster its not by much for wood.
Sorry brother, you really missed the mark here on the run time and specs for the batteries. Others have already pointed it out but it's important to stress. Flex volt advantage allows higher power delivery, it's at the nominal 18v with the 9.0 capacity. And you should know that as power required is relatively similar, as voltage goes up amps required and losses associated with high current go down. The DeWalt blows it out of the water two fold here
Hi! The Flexvolt battery in the video is 9.0 Ahr at 18V and 3.0 Ahr at 54V. When used with a Flexvolt tool it is 3.0 Ahr at 54V. You're correct that "Flexvolt Advantage" is a different technology than the original Flexvolt. The biggest advantage is seen in hammer drill mode.
@@Squat5000 I agree. At least it does say 18V/54 volt on the battery but it's really small print. I wonder how bad a dcd999 with a regular 20V max battery would lose to a dcd999 with a Flexvolt battery? I wonder if it's really 42% like they say on the ads.
@@SparkyChannel brand new battery the difference isn't much. Drills do not Max out the battery's ability to output power. It really comes into it's own on circular saws or roto hammers. Those push the limit of the standard batteries. The 5.0 will run them but the voltage drops considerably. The flex batteries basically have 3 full banks in series or parallel depending on the tool which gives you much more current and lower voltage drop.
I would say The Milwaukee both of them have a lot of power but Milwaukee is more compact good for hard to reach places, what good is a drill to have alot of power but you can't Reach in and get the job done!!!
Use a bigger bit the dewalt will.have to drop gear ⚙ while Milwaukee has more power in its highest gear ⚙ 👌 should have did an 1 1/4 18" auger thats nothing for these drills compact drills can so this lmao 🤣 put that 2 9/16 switch blade and run that test then see that a huge drill cannot compete with a compact drill 😳 🤣 👏

This is very misleading. The speed is mostly dependent on the operator. Also the Dewalt is not 54 volts. It's 18. The battery can supply 54 volts in 54 volt tools that they manufacture. The dcd999 is not one of them. Very misleading video.
