Corey Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 There's some concern on the verbiage about the drill/driver's capacity for a "half inch spade bit," and I'm really hoping it's a mistake instead of saying it can chuck a half inch bit. If the EU nm specs I saw posted somewhere, were remotely accurate, then these 12v XRs are more capable than the current gen 2 fuel m12s. To boot, the marketing imagery for the drill shows it using a spade much larger than a half inch.

Biggie Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Well I was hoping milwaukee would put a 3/8" anvil on the gen 2 m12 impact driver, stubbys are great but too fat for my daily use, but after nps19 I see I'll have to wait an other year for that. I was kind of eyeing up the new makita 12v brushless impact wrench but this new 12v dewalt impact wrench might have just taken the lead in satisfying my impact wrench obsession. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Lowes and Acme tools have the 12v xtreme line up on their websites. They aren't in stock but they both say they're expected to be in the the next week or so. Kits are a little better than originally listed as they come with two batteries and although they're not the new 3.0, they are a 2.0 with a battery status gauge which I believe is new.

ChrisK Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 My Lowe’s has the combo and the impact, and yeah, 2.0. The gun is only 139 though 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 I got my impact wrench from acme tool today. It's nice, light weight and compact but the mode settings on it drive me crazy. The low setting is still full power in reverse. They do the same stupid thing on the dcf894. Why bother having a low and high if the speed are the same. Another strange thing happened when I went to charge the batteries out of the box. I used the supplied dcb112 and a dcb115 charger I had. Both batteries had one bar on the charge indicator but when i put them on the chargers they went straight to a solid red light like they were done charging. I tried wiggling the battery on the charger to make sure they were getting a good connection but it wasn't until I took them off the chargers and put them back on that the red light started to flash and they took a charge. I'm not really worried about this it's just funny that two different chargers both did the same thing with two different batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulengr Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 New batteries often act like they have a charge when they don't. That's why the instructions usually say to charge them for several hours (overnight) before the first use. It might look "full" but it's not. And if the battery is super low charge you run the risk of cell reversal with full charging current. This is where for some reason one of the cells (1.4 V each) suddenly and permanently reverses poparity. The safest way to charge truly dead batteries is trickle charging. Maybe if it sees under a certain voltage the charger goes straight to trickle mode which would be a steady light.Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Just a heads up the xtreme line just took a pretty big price drop. All the single tool kits are $99 at acme and lowes. The drill and Impact driver kit went from $199 to $149 at acme and $169 at lowes. Kind of sucks I thought 15% off $149 on the impact wrench kit was a good deal and now it's $99. I don't need anymore tools but these seem like some great deals. Looks like dewalt is trying to stimulate some new 12v sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 they are same price as some of the entry level 20v now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Can anyone tell me how precision mode is supposed to operate? Day one after receiving my impact and drill, the impact took a 30 foot drop to a concrete from a manbasket. Seems like my 90° adapter took the brunt of the impact, it's bent up pretty bad, but I expected speed one to behave like the same speed on my dcf887. Instead if I pull the trigger with just the impact in the air, it seems to run for a couple seconds, stop, then start back up with a little more power. Is this abnormal, and should I get a replacement coming? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Opened it up, troubleshooting, and everything looks pretty pristine with no apparent damage. Seems to me that the resistance detection for precision mode is activating even with no load. I'll check into the anvil housing to see if maybe something dented and is actually causing resistance.
