DEWALT 20V DRILL TORQUE SPECS PORTABLE
Drill presses are generally not portable and can’t be used everywhere because of their size and power requirements, so there are trade-offs involved. If you have a project that demands precision, you would use a drill press. He should also factor in that a hand drill (corded or cordless) is portable, lightweight and not designed for precision you drill a hole or drive a screw in your project and move on to the next one. However, tolerances are probably not as good as they used to be there’s a price point that they’re built to they’re made in China and/or it could be a bad run of chucks on the units Jason got hold of. The DCD780 wouldn’t be expected to have the play or wobble in it, as it doesn’t have the hammer drill capability. That way, it doesn’t beat itself to death over time. Stuart–Actually, I’ve read several comments to the effect that some wobble is “normal” with the DCD785C2 (which I have), for the reason that some slop is built into the mechanism for the hammering function. Review samples are typically returned, donated, or in some cases retained for further testing or comparison purposes. Thank you to Dewalt for providing the sample for this review unconditionally. You can also find the DCD780 drill bundled in a 2-tool combo kit with the new 20V Max impact driver. The DCD780C2 kit comes with the drill, 2x 1.5Ah batteries, a quick charger, and carrying case. It is not optimized for those looking for a heavy-duty drill-through-anything and drive-any-bolt model. The compact drill/driver is best suited for DIYers and Pros looking for a compact 18-20V that can deliver more power than 12V models. If we had to sum it up, we’d say that the drill is powerful enough for most medium-duty tasks and comfortable enough to use all day. We can’t find anything to complain about – the DCD780C2 is just a phenomenal compact drill kit. This leads to better performance and drill bit longevity. One thing that we definitely appreciated was the higher 2000 RPM capabilities of the motor since we often work with smaller drill bits.
Overload-current protection does not seem to be as sensitive as with other brands’ compact offerings, allowing us to push it a little bit further.
As such, it runs into a little trouble drilling very large holes and driving large/long lag bolts. This is a compact drill, not a heavy-duty powerhouse. It does not quite approach the lightness of a 12V drill, but it’s as light as we could ask for. The drill/driver is balanced just right when paired with a 1.5Ah compact battery. The pistol-grip on the 20V Max drill is ever so slightly scaled up and lengthened, but it more or less retains the same great grip profile. The pistol grip is pushed further back on the drill than we’re used to, but if anything this improved the grip’s comfort and balance even further. If you recall, we gushed about the ergonomics of Dewalt’s 12V Max tools. This isn’t an earth-shattering feature, but it’s a thoughtful tweak. Also, the LED work light stays on for about 20 seconds after you release the trigger. Rubber bumpers protect your work surface should you place the drill on its side, and a removable belt hook and bit holder can be fixed to the drill just above the battery. We were slightly concerned about how much we’d like the speed selection switch, but it toggles easily with a thumb or 1-2 fingers.
The ratcheting chuck locks beautifully with a satisfying click-click-click, and doesn’t loosen up at all, even when holding thinner drill bits. The knob has rounded detents, which make it as easy to grip with a gloved hand as the bumpy knob on the 12V DCD710S2 drill we reviewed last year. We were actually surprised as to how smooth the clutch adjustment turns. 20-24 settings would offer finer control, but there’s no real need for it here.
There are only 16 clutch settings – 15+1 – and they seem to match well with the drill’s torque delivery.
