The Beast has arrived!
I’ll primarily be using this with a clay spade for digging holes to set sign posts in concrete. But nice to also have the capability to drill 1-9/16″ holes in concrete and 4″ core drill concrete.
Awesome!!
Question …..is that some sort of shim under the main body to raise it up to be level with the battery ?
Probably coasters to not scratch the surface. The battery is elevated as well.
Not scratching the table is good…….didn’t see a coaster under the battery…I would hope Dewalt would make tool to rest upright when you set it down….
It will rest on the tool portion and the battery, but it’s a little nose-heavy.
That’s good….thanks
Want one so bad, but sadly have little use for it. Awesome punch at 6.1 joules!
In school we were told to set drills and impacts on their side and I try to continue to do so. Was one step to help prevent the tools from falling over or off tables and potentially damaging whatever we were working on or things below.
I always lay my drills down, if they’re standing up, they can fall down, if they’re laying down, they can’t fall up.
Quick video of The Beast moving dirt…
And a few pics, only because for a clay spade, it sure is pretty.
I instantly want that SDS lol. What a thing of beauty.
Love it! I hate digging!
Can you vid some masonry action next?
Cheers!
When they first came out with drills that had flat bottom batteries, they marketed it as a benefit because they stood upright.
Awesome drill and spade.
I bought the smaller 20v version and am very happy with it. I can only assume this one is 3 times better.
