Hi DeWalters

My Makita burned (blowed) up!!

I’m planning 2buy my first DeWalt power drill

What should I buy

• DC927
  
• 
  

• DCD925B2
  
• 
  

• DCD925L2
  
• 
  

Which tool should I buy from the 3 above

The diff. in spec’s are minimal though.

The shop-owner recommended the DC927??

I would not suggest the DC927.

The DCD925B2 Is the US equivalent to the DCD950, and the DCD925L2 is the US equivalent to the DCD970.

If you are using these tools in a shop and you don’t plan on doing any light masonry drilling, then I would not recommend any of them.

If I had to pick between the three you chose, then I would pick the DCD925L2 based on the lithium battery platform.

No light masonry,no …. only workshop and hobby (home)!

But I do like good quality tools.

The 3 above where suggested 2me by the  store (vendor)

What do “you” recommend, forget the 3 above!

I saw all your tests on Youtube.

Thnx

Thnx JC

Is it the same (but Eu version) as the one you are testing in this topic

http://dewaltownersgroup.com/index.php/topic,91.0.html

It would be more like the DCD760. The DC720 is the NiCd version. The DC720 also has a higher UWO than the DCD760.

DC720 = 410 UWO

DCD760 = 350 UWO

Okay, so the DC722KL  is the one I’ll should go4?

It’s at least much sheaper then the DC927

Well, what are your main drilling/driving tasks in your shop?

Mostly woodwork and rarely such “big holes” as in your tests  🙂

Not professional, though

What do you do more of… Drilling, or Driving?

Well mostly I do some pré-drilling before driving, to prevent splitting/splicing of the wood or panel!

Actually I was planning to buy a Makita TD090DWE …. just before my Makita powerdrill exploded. 😀

Have you considered having a tool for both applications?

DCX3240

Not  really but it’s a good idea

My makita was a: 12 volt 2.6 ah  Type 6316D

Now I want 18volt not  12 or  14!

Well I was unable to find any 18v combo kits, so I would still suggest the 722.

I just found one that was stashed away

Including the DC722

http://www.dewalt.be/nl/powertools/productdetails/catno/DCX4240/

…. good?

That is a SUPER KIT! My answer would be YES.

2x 18volt lithium battery, that I do like.

Can you tell me what the advantage of a “frameless” motor is?

Thanks

ZZZzzzzz Sleeeep >> in Belgium it is very late now 😀

The frameless motor does a few things. Allows for a more compact tool design, and a lighter tool. It also get’s the motor out of the traditional can (frame). Doing this allows you to repair/replace individual parts rather than having to replace the entire motor. The frameless motor also allows the motor to run cooler, which in turn increases motor life and efficiency.

Hi, JC

Thank you so much 4helping me out in DeWaltland!

I’m going 4the 18Volt combo  DCX4240

Best regards and keep on testing 😉
