Perfect for what I needed

I have Bought this brushless drill to power an 8" ice screw and replaced the Dewalt 14v drill I have had for years. With the auger connected, the drill manages to drill holes, although the 14-plus-inch ice cream is like a knife through butter. The battery can drill up to 50 holes, depending on how thick the ice is. The batteries have a charge indicator. The torque this drill puts out makes the included assist handle a must have for holding the drill with the cartridge in place. Otherwise the…

Battery loose on drill

I have been using DeWalt power tools for many years. This is the first time I have anything negative to say about these tools. First of all the attachment of the battery to the drill is ridiculous.Both the batteries that came with this package didn't hold up well on the drill.Basically the battery wobbles on the drill.For around $300 you would think the tool would be a lot more powerful The drill itself seems like a good tool.The main downside is the exposed battery.I spoke to Revain customer…

Pros
  • Powerful 1/2" nitrocarbide ratchet chuck with carbide inserts for superior drill grip
Cons
  • Doubt

All that fuss about a loose battery. Believe!

Poorly designed battery mount not only rattles like explosives in a boxcar in a drill but also in a charger. This makes charging difficult; All you have to do is nudge the charger while it's charging and the light goes out - a sign of a bad battery, according to DeWalt. You'll have to fiddle with the battery in the charger to get the charging light back on - then DO NOT TOUCH! And when it's fully charged and you hit it, the charge indicator will go off and on again, starting the entire charging

Pros
  • 3-mode LED provides illumination in dark or tight spaces up to 20 times brighter than previous model
Cons
  • Some minor issues
