15 years from now you’ll get your chance when an old one pops up on Craigslist for $25, seller states they recently bought the new tri-phase auto shifting nano drill and no longer need it lol!
HEY JUST WAIT ONE SECOND!! LIGHTBULB! This just gave me a brainstorm… what if drills could have auto shift function? It starts out high speed/lower torque, but if can’t turn the drill bit all the way through the material, so it automatically downshifts, huh? Why not??

Isn’t that what the black and decker auto sense tried to do?

Seems like a software update to one key should be able to do that. This needs to be a thing.
Hello. Man I got this drill with Dewalts new impact and two 5ah batteries a few weeks ago. Let me say the drill is nice, I was drilling a bunch of 2 9/16″ speedboar bit, I think it was around 10 or 12 holes through pressure treated 4×4’s, normally I would use speed one, you know for the torque but I tried speed two on the drill and man that sucker was drilling those holes scary fast, it was literally throwing wood chips about two feet in circumference. The thing has a ton of power, might just beat the gen 2 fuel. And I love the light on it, it’s amazing. The new impact is incredible also. Even the screw mode, I do hvac and take door panels on and off equipment and that mode is perfect for it, no more stripped holes. Also great for small screws and delicate detail work, I wouldn’t recommend it for bigger deck screws or drywall screws. I absolutely love the impact. Also the e clutch on the drill is perfect how the drill will go into a lower speed as you go down with the clutch settings. Also seems the chuck is better now. Looks like my 995 is going be getting a break for awhile. Also the 996 will eat through concrete like butter. Glad to see Dewalt stepping up their game.

Right on man,thanks for that real world input,and welcome to the crew.

You do know that is exactly what Makita does in their grinder/circ saw/ mitre saw right ? 😀

They have a gearbox that automatically shifts?

Yup. Its not a gearbox. But a brushless motor allows you to ‘shift gears’ without you feeling it 🙂 the brushless circ saw has around 5000 rpm. If you will push that thing hard trough hard Wood… At some point the rpms will drop and the Amps the motor pulls from the batteries will rise.
At that point ,in other tools, the overload protection kicks in. The Makita brushless motor in there ‘ shifts ‘ into another gear automatically. Reducing rpm and increasing torque.
As soon as you stop overloading the tool it’ll automatically shift back to the high rpm mode 🙂
Pretty ingenious technology

Ok cool but to return to my original query I need it in my drills when I’m boring through wood

Sick video Jimbo! If I didn’t already have the 995 I would run to get the 996
Another nice video Jimbo!
