Good at first but fails

I bought this because I have low voltage in new houses and didn't want to keep changing my rectangular adapter to get into unusually small joists or posts. I was hoping I could just stick a short spatula in this thing and walk around all day. nope It just can't stand it. After about 4 hours of use it started acting a bit strange and the light flickered strangely. I finally gave up and went back to my drill/driver couple who always work for me and take any insult I hurl at them. I keep it toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Power and hand tools
Cons
  • unreliable

It's a neat little tool, although it didn't work right out of the box

Media loading error. I really like the feel of this tool and was very happy to use it. Although right out of the box I had trouble with the low speed setting. I couldn't even get a drywall screw into the wood. It almost sounds like it's a torque adjustment, but this tool doesn't include that feature. I thought I sent the question to the seller, not sure if it got through. So I called Dewalt direct and they will send me a brand new one! They said it was a one-time courtesy, so it was nice ofโ€ฆ

Firm and smooth. Good speed control. Less than 6 inches of clearance required.

DeWalt makes very good tools in their new 20vmax line. This is the first time I've started adding new tools (rarely "essential") just to add them to my collection. They are all so good I can't stop buying them. Having a decent collection of batteries allows me to buy inexpensive "tool only" versions. From time to time I have to drill or drive in tight spaces. I used to use hand tools all the time. The drill is strong and durable. The engine is smooth and so is the handling. It has two speedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Angle Drill
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
