We tested the Dewalt 12V Max Impact Driver. We were very suprised by this drill as it rivals most 18V drivers, but half the weight. You can read the review here – Dewalt 12V Max Impact Driver.
Let us know what you think.
Thanks for the update. The video is great guys. The dewalt Max kicks a**. I used this about a month ago on a job. The battery life was good, but the tool was great. Very light. I had a couple guys try and use it that day, but I gaurd this with my life. Great job guys and great job Dewalt.
Dewalt and Bosch are the top. I can not believe how much cheap junk is out there. i am glad to see Dewalt and Bosch produced a good quality 12V.
Way better quality than both the Milwaukee and Bosch IMO. I have had and used all three very hard and the only only that is still running is the Dewalt. The Bosch did out last the Milwaukee by about 6 months.
Dewalt has more power, feels better in the hand, and is way better quality.
What else do you need!
i love the dewalt 12V, been using for many years
Great for smaller jobs. Specially with the belt clip, makes it alot easier to work with.
I think some folks don’t realise that smaller stuff like this is soooooo useful where you are in a tight space and that fixing has just got to go in to get the job done. ( or come out ). 🙂
12V tools have really become an essential part of my lineup. Never would have imagined that a few years ago.
They are basically mini versions of the
20 volts.

12v is wicked nice! I LOVE my Milwaukee M12 stuff though! I tried the Dewalt 12v Max and although I like the tools, I already bought in to the M12 line and cannot see trying to switch lines when there is so much choice in the M12 line. I will say that the 12v Max has BY FAR the most comfortable grips. I really enjoy the grip when the XC battery is in my tool, the grip is obviously the same but the battery pack on the bottom of my hand seems to make the tool (to me) more comfortable in hand. I tried the impact gun in the 12v Max line and really do love the tool but…
For me, the biggest drawback to the Dewalt 12V line is the absence of the slim battery packs. In some situation the larger slide on packs really hurt accessibility. It’s not a huge deal, but I like that the Milwaukee line has the option.
Yeah i like the slim packs in the handle for the Milwaukee 12 volt
That is one of my favorite things about the milwaukee 12V line. I have been able to fit that sucker into so many places I would have normally never been able to get at!
