Are dewalt drills as good as they they say? Esp' the cordless ones?
Thinking about buying a cordless hammer drill. I need one that will last and have good battery life. Dewalt seem very expensive, are they worth the money. The DC988 is advertised alot. Looking for at least a 14.4v or 18v model. Any experience or comments welcome.
Dewalt drills are a very good tool. Things some people dont know is that there are 2 levels of Dewalt tools- compact and XRP. XRP are the ones a contractor will use and are a good tool for the regular DIY's to purchase. Personally I own a Dewalt drill 14.4 and it has served me well, but if I was to go and get a new drill then I would be buying a Ridgid tool. Ridgid tools have move power(torque) in the same class for less but sometimes they have more power that in other classes ie a Ridgid 12v 3/8" chuck has a torque rating of 300 in/lbs of torque while the dewalt compact 18V has 300 in/lbs of torque. Now if your me I would much rather handle a 12v than a clunky 18v. Plus the Ridgid will and have a lifetime warenty batteries inc. while the Dewalt will have a 1yr parts and labour and 2yrs on the batteries. another expamle is the Dewalt inpact driver 18v has 1170 in/lbs of torque where the Ridgid 14.4 has 1400 in/lbs and their 18V has 1450 in/lbs all their tools will sell for less $$. Dont get me wrong Dewalt makes a good tool but there are better tools out there. I just like the thought of never having the buy another drill unless I need an extra one by going with Ridgid. Plus the wife will love the idea too, one less tool to buy again= more $$ that she can spend..ha ha j/k any lady DIY's
