Dewalt DCK283D2 MAX XR Lithium Ion Brushless Compact Drill and Driver set is, at the time of this review the latest and iteration of Dewalt's 20V Compact Drill and Impact Driver.
I bought them as upgrade for 18V Dewalt tools which I have owned for almost decade.
Of course, it's good thing I waited, as these newest versions have the advantage of better illumination options.
Far from gimmick, the brightness and placement of these lights is major convenience any time you have to drive fastener from inside dark cabinet or other confined lit space..
But for 95% of all things I do or make with my tools, this DCD791 Compact Drill has PLENTY of power, and the light weight and slim form factor are amazing.
I've driven few hundred screws with it now--about four times faster than I can drive them with my old 12V Bosch driver--and not one seated too deeply or tore out 90% of the I leave it on setting 2 and the sensitivity of the trigger gives me enough control to drive fasteners anywhere from slow to blazingly fast.
The ratchet provides audible and palpable feedback at the moment the fastner is beginning to seat and tighten, making it easier to avoid over-driving the fastener below the surface of your material..
First, 20V is the max operating voltage these are technically 18V tools, so 20V claim is bit of marketing gimmick.
The battery still shows full three bars of power and the battery shows two bars of power when I press the battery gauge.
or if you're still using corded tools, or if you do not have driver and think you might like one, do yourself favor and BUY THIS SET.
