Revainrating 5 out of 5

STEAL at this price! 25000 rpm with brushless motor. Great tool!

What a great tool, really! Not only is it brushless, it's well made and has lots of useful features, unlike other 18V wireless devices (yes, NOT 20V, but 18V, despite Dewalt's marketing gimmicks). Mills, this one has three RPM ranges (speeds) and a trigger for loading. Also, unlike its main competitors, the motor runs at up to 25,000 rpm. In addition, it is made of high quality materials, the same as Milwaukee, Makita and other brands, it is quite light, with excellent ergonomics, has replaceable dust covers that keep the engine from being choked, and for $130 IT'S A COMPLETE THIEF . !It's not perfect mind you because it doesn't include anything as simple as a rafter hook, also the variable switch doesn't have a lock so of course you have to hold it until you control it very conveniently but it does offer two positions but I would have rather had a detent. In turn, intact, it gives you more control over its use since, as we said, the speed trigger is variable and to be honest it's not a huge inconvenience because with a sufficiently thick rubber band you can have your own lock button. Other features include a pair of well-placed, bright LEDs, a rubbery shape and, thanks to the brushless motor, it's also efficient: today it ran at top speed (25,000 rpm) for over 12 minutes on a single 2Ah battery. Use a wire brush to clean the heatsink. The 6 Ah Flexvolt battery is heavier but offers a much longer runtime. Little things like the feel of the rafter hook or the annoying switch are not enough for me to give it less than five stars. I can't understand why Dewalt decided to drop the price to $130 but. Works for me!
