I bought this exactly a year ago and as a caretaker of a large school it has been worked hard most days for many jobs on many surfaces. This is an absolutely flawless bit of kit. Great review.

[@bayadere8308]

Just a small point: for any beginners, the drill does not have 15 speeds; it has 15 torque settings. The trigger allows variable speed and there is a two-speed switch on top (1&2).

[@ITB-handyman-tool-reviews]

Thanks !....Speed is very different from torque, I can appreciate that. Valid observation !

[@RogerChabotBIA]

Way to go Matt! Keep pumping them. I like your shop, awesome set up. :)

Great review. Just bought the same Dewalt from Scewfix (UK) for £149.99 with two 5amp batteries and case, I could not be happier.

[@JohnDoe-uu2zs]

Though you would be today as there down to £99.99 in their sale!

[@davapod]

@@JohnDoe-uu2zs But that's with the 2amp batteries. Mine came with the 5amps. It;s the batteries that cost a fortune. So I am still very happy.😊

[@UnseenSpirit]

How has it been? The deal is still the same at screw fix. I'm in need of a new drill

[@davapod]

it's been great though it hadn't been used heavily. l also bought the DeWalt DCF887N 18v Li-Ion XR Brushless 3-Speed Impact Driver without a battery to accompany it which I use loads.

Great video. Just what I was looking for!

Great review.

[@thomj32]

Good review been looking at these and using my old bosch for a screwdriver, may have to walk down to screwfix and invest!!

[@75clarkejones]

Bought one and the chuck was wobbly so beware and maybe a check before purchase.

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

Great review thanks

[@Farang_Lifestyles]

thanks, Matt, product available in Thailand

[@raymefah50]

There are a few Amazon reviews saying they've had problems with the chuck wobbling - making screwing a problem and bit breakage. Have you noticed any?

[@ITB-handyman-tool-reviews]

Not in my user experience.

[@danielhughes5932]

Its the exact same battery as the 20v max right just have to follow laws in euro and tell Its nominal

[@jomac2046]

Mine lasted 2 years, only used for home use and the mechanical internals gave up.

[@monster796abs]

is this good for concrete?

I thought the DCD778 model ran on 20v batteries…

[@stevelegge3307]

18v and 20v are the exact same, America use 20v labelling as its the initial voltage when pressed but runs at 18V which is the European way of labelling.

[@t4h1r]

Can it drill into a brick / concrete wall as well?

[@RanGer-498]

Yes... just switch it to hammer .

[@sizif717]

I just bought this model in the UK, DCD778, everything is the same as yours, but mine has a metal chuck...?

[@Robertrebor]

Yes i bought mine in UK and it has the metal chuck too. Just used it for the 3rd time this weekend and the chuck is stuck and won't loosen!

[@sizif717]

@@Robertrebor Try this: tighten the chuck until the 3 jaws touch each other, then tighten with your hand as strong as you can. than try to open it with hand ( all on empty chuck without drill bit). Many times this helps

[@Robertrebor]

@@sizif717 thanks Kiril i will definitely try this. Need to get the drill bit out first though! 🤣

[@RanGer-498]

I thought only the xr had the metal chuck.
