🔧 Powerful and Versatile: DEWALT Drill Metal 29 Piece Set, DW1969 Review

When I needed a new hand drill I found the tried and tested Dewalt DC759 Cordless Drill 18V 1/2" (bare tool) available at a good price that I can also afford.To my great delight they actually sent me a Dewalt DC725 18V 1/2" cordless combi/impact driver (bare tool), a much newer and more expensive hand drill. So I figured I could get a new set of drill bits and ordered these from Dewalt. I'm not surprised by the quality of the drill bits (expected from Dewalt) but the fold down carrying case…

DeWalt Pilot Drills are ideal for drilling thin metal. My 3/8" cordless drill easily drills a 1/2" drill through 1/8" steel in one go—smaller holes don't need to be pre-drilled. Time savings in real time. They are difficult to sharpen due to their grind, but last a long time. This is my third set. I complain that DeWalt has cheapened the index. It is very difficult to discern the size of the drill in the back rows. Large drills are difficult to insert and remove. This index is made from stamped

The drills themselves are fine. However, the metal case the bits are kept in is a joke. First, during transportation, the case opened and some small parts fell into the box. The case is a thin piece of sheet metal. Second, terraced bit holders do not stack, making it very difficult to determine the size of the bits. Luckily I had an old case. Bottom line: buy this for bits and try to find a sturdier case with foldable bit holders. Addendum to previous post: The best holder is the Huot Drill…
