Product Information

First of all, many well-known brand names tend to boast about their flagship tools in television, trade magazines and online ads. They tend to make the harder jobs look extremely simple when using their specific brand. Of course, the basis of this is to help sell their product. So is this a realistic representation of what the tool can do for you, especially if you’re just starting out? The answer is no. Different skill levels and experience has a significant factor in the effectiveness of a tool, as well as other things. My old drill which carried me for around 25 years+ {also a De Walt} Was sadly coming to an end as the batteries were draining during every job. As only a keen home DIY'er this was too much so it was time to start researching the new market which hit me with a right hook as there are now so many great power tools out there at very competitive prices. Nowadays, top brands offer work boots in a whole array of colours and designs to give more options to the buyer, as well as doing a fantastic job at keeping your feet safe while you are working. Cheap / Off brand Power Tools Image credit: DeWalt) DeWalt XR DCD778P2T-SFGB 18V Brushless Cordless Combi Drill Review: what the customers say The usual DeWalt quality, and good powerful little drill. It doesn't appear to come with a belt clip and magnetic holder included though, which is unusual. The magnetic holder can be particularly useful.

Finding a trustworthy brand can be a big undertaking, and when you are faced with lots of recommended companies, the search can feel daunting. Some manufactures cater to different areas of the workforce, and not all brands offer all the tools in every field. First, you need to ask yourself if the brand you have chosen can provide you with the tools you need now, and the ones you will need in the future. Of course, you could buy from multiple brands, but that will require more research that takes up valuable time.The machine comes with an LED work light, which illuminates the work area and improves visibility, even in low light conditions. The drill also has a durable metal gearbox and a belt clip, which provides additional convenience when working on elevated surfaces or in tight spaces. DeWalt’s trigger mechanism is also extremely well judged, offering a brilliant amount of control over drill speed, which is essential if you don’t want to round screws or worse, punch through to the next room when drilling a hole.

Wear clothing that fits well. Loose clothing or accessories can get caught in a tool’s moving parts, which could result in dire consequences. It does drill good though and there’s the handy addition of an LED work light at the front of the drill for illuminating whatever surface you happen to be massacring at the time. This is not uncommon for any cordless drill now though and some even trump the DeWalt with three or more LEDs. Woooooooh.The only niggle I found were that the LED work light is good but not excellent - there are brighter ones available out there. That said, it’s not particularly heavy, even with a bit 5.0Ah battery slapped onto the bottom of it. I’ve tried many other drills that are weightier but that doesn’t take away from the general robustness, as it can definitely stand up to many weeks, months and years of operating in dusty and dirty environments. As with any product, when you’re shopping online you’re often given a set of alternative products to consider.
