Dewalt Dcd7781D2 18V 13Mm Cordless Compact Brushless Hammer Drill Machine With 2X2.0Ah Li-Ion Batteries, Yellow

This is my first purchase of a cordless drill. Rather any cordless tool, it was a wonderful experience with this tool, initially because I was apprehensive that I might have wasted a lot of money in purchasing a tool, which I should not have done. For me as I am home user purchasing tools is done mainly on reviews of buyers who spend their time in sharing their experiences with others, but it also involves some impulse which at times is wrong. While reviewing this tool, I would first of all caution about the word kickback, which in theory might not convey the real meaning but experience did. For me I observed a kickback while trying and auger drill bit in a flower bed. I thought that I was only drilling in soil so nothing would happen but all of a sudden, the drill bit instead of drilling down took a nasty circular turn. It was a bad experience and my wrist took some time to get back to normal. I think the kickback was due to the fact that the auger drill bit got entangled into some roots below. I had experience of a kickback in a corded hammer drill bit also. A mason was on the job when he wanted a hole in a wall. I wanted to drill the hole myself. First I drilled a 10mm hole and thereafter with an 18mm drill bit which was longer than a 10mm bit. When I was drilling with an 18mm drill bit, I experienced a nasty turnaround of the drill machine. Sometime after I realized that first hole of the 10mm bit should have been at least as deep as the 18mm drill bit, so as soon as the 18mm drill bit reached the end of the 10mm hole, it got stuck and turned around. I would also like to mention that the house I live in is quite old and the bricks are like metal. So far, I have drilled about 20 holes in masonry, with 6mm bits about 1 ½ inches deep and about 20 holes in wood with 3mm bits. More than a year has passed, and there are still 2 bars (out of 3 bars) still charged at least to me it seems incredible and two batteries came with this drill. Since it is lighter and far smaller than corded counterparts it is easy to drill in corners and tight places. A small LED lights up when we start drilling so that we can see where actually we are drilling. This is particularly helpful in dark places. I have so far not drilled in metal because I am apprehensive about drilling in metals. I will try after sometime. It has drilled into very strong bricks so far but I will try to use corded ones because sometimes in between there is reinforced concrete in the walls which may damage this costly drill bit. It has low noise and settings for drilling and hammer drilling. For hammer drilling the manual advises us to use the higher speed that is 2 (It has two speeds 1 and 2). There are markings on its collar like 1,3,5,7 etc. but they are all concerned with driving screws and no connection with drilling. I have so far never used a drill for driving screws but have an assortment of manual screwdrivers. I am no one to recommend or not recommend buying this drill because there are so many brands and so many types within a single brand. I am simply sharing my experiences.

The quality of the product is A1. Whether it may be drilling a mason or wood. It is like drilling butter. And above all the variable screw mode is superb, you can fastened a screw very nice and easy.And it comes with an extra battery as well. I recommend this for every beginners as well as professional.

Nice product, drills with rcc easily with 12mm bit also. Very nice and handy product. The only thing you may miss is the plastic case this thing comes with a bag which is ok.

Nothing wring with the drill, although I do wonder why the tool is yellow an black while the same model being sold offline in the local market here in Aizawl is reddish brown. It took about 45 mins to fully charge each battery as they came shipped with 1/3 charge as per indicator. Drilling brick masonry is a breeze and drilling wood is so much easier compared to my older Bosch GSR 120 Li. But why compare apples to oranges? One small issue though, the one I received didn't have the belt hanger metal thingy. I thought it came with the tool, maybe I was mistaken. Can the seller please get back to me on this? I'm just curious.

Very useful and good battery life

I used this DeWalt power drill on most of the projects build quality is excellent battery backup is very good Am writing this review after 3 months used.
