If this had have been around in our compact drill comparison, I think it would have blown away the competition.

Sorry in advance for the tool envy you will shortly have. Also sorry for the audio quality.

Another great review guys! That would be mine, but I’m waiting for the BL1 coming to the US next summer. 3 modes, and 1062 ft/lbs!

Great review guys good to see the team together and wow just wow I might have to add another platform to the shop ?

It reminds me of the Fein ASCM 18QX I bought last year. At least as far as the quick change chuck goes.

Yeah. I had the impulse non quick compact metabo. It replaced all my other drills. I only went for the DeWalt when I had to do concrete

I know, I wish they would have given them a chance. Although that is how I got a great deal on my miter saw, so I won’t complain too much!

is ft/lbs a typo? 1062 ft/lbs would be more powerful than any cordless high torque impact wrenches that I know of.

wildroamerMember since Apr 2016Dec 10, 2016 12:16 PM CT

Nope. No typo. NAINA… YET!!

Inch pounds not foot pounds, torque multiplier is sweet though

Oops, yeah…

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Dec 10, 2016 1:57 PM CT

With 2.5kg weight isn’t it a heavy duty drill ? That’s not compact weight ? 🙂

wildroamerMember since Apr 2016Dec 10, 2016 2:01 PM CT

This is what 1062 ft/lbs would look like.

which dewalt are you referring to in the video? The compact or full size?
