Like on a drill, is it measured by torque (in. Lbs.) and/or speed (RPMs)?
-
Is this the most powerful (torque, not speed) drill Dewalt has?
Because i notice less powerful but faster RPM drills have a higher UWO rating then this one.

Got the kit today.
Well its not quite 100% what i expected. But it will do the job. I am not dissapointed tho.
The bucket has thick paper wrapped around the outside with the writing/graphics on it, take it off and the bucket has no markings on it, just plain. I figured the bucket had the ink directly on it.
The extension cord is 25' 16/3, not heavy enough for a miter saw, but will work for 10 amps. The drill is the DW130V, no other special markings or model # on it. 2-piece mixer attachment is of average quality. Also includes the instructions, 2 handles, chuck key & holder. All in the bucket. The bucket came in a box. Its a decent kit, worth the extra $$ over the price of just a bare drill.

Good to know. I wish i could get a few more buckets without buying the entire kit.
Do u know what gauge (AWG) the extension cord is??
Just wondering if i could use it for a 15-amp miter saw too.

I ordered this kit yesterday. I been wanting this drill for quite sometime. I got a bunch of Dewalt 18v stuff (highly invested in that way before the 20v Max came out). Didnt want to burn up my cordless drills on large holesaws, spade bits or mixing. I dont have any corded drills. I got a couple of air drills too. But nothing with real power. Looks like it will be a very cool kit. I will let u know how it turns out.

Is this a new, old, discontinued or limited edition 'kit' or what?
Includes heavy duty drill, 25' extension cord, 5 gallon bucket & 2-piece mixing attachment.

Well, I sent Dewalt Customer Care an email & this is my response:
"The DCV518H is a new product that launched August of 2013. So far there are no issues with the power."

DCB120 type 1
2010 35-YS 2

The DCB090 is not so good that Dewalt doesn't want to show you any product spec.
DCB090 only delivers 1.5 amps for both USB ports, each can give at most 1.3 amp on Apple device, and it only charge Android at max 0.5 Amp. Worst of all, it doesn't even fit tightly on the battery that Dewalt made. If you need to see the remaining battery capacity, you'll need to remove it from the battery and then put it back in.........
I press the 12v MAX battery on it until it snaps/locks on, never had an issue.
My iPhone 4S seems to charge at the same rate if its off a Dewalt battery or plugged into computer/wall.
The only issue i have with it is the battery monitor and having to remove/replace the battery like you said.
The place to buy that i mentioned before seems to be at full retail, since then i have seen it elsewhere cheaper.

Does the DCV581H corded/cordless version (the DCV580 is just the cordless version) have the same issue as the older DC500 corded/cordless vac, in that when plugged in to AC it runs slower/weaker vs when ran by the DC battery? I know, it should be the opposite, kinda weird. And why does the DC500 do this or is mine defective?
How about the suction of the 2 newer models vs the DC500? Better, same?
I would guess the DCV581H does not charge batteries?
Is the DC500 discontinued?
-
How does it hold a 18v battery in without falling off?
I can see how it holds a 12/20v Max in, slides from top to bottom, gravity holds it locked in.
But like on my DC012, if i dont close the back door, it just falls out.

My little review:
Got mine. So far, i only used it one time. With a fully charged 12v Max battery, charged my iPhone 4s from 80% to 100%, Dewalt battery still showed a full charge afterwards. The charge time was equal to that of charging it from a computer, car or A/C wall socket adaptor.
Only minor issue i see so far, is that after using it for a while u would have to slide battery off & then slide it back on for the battery charge lights to show u the battery status. Because the 3 battery status lights only light up for the first few seconds the battery pack is installed, then it goes out to save juice.
It was worth the $$.

I have heard that if you buy them at Lowes/Home Depot they are lower quality (plastic gears) vs buying them at a more expensive commercial/industrial tool place that would be of higher quality (metal gears). Is this true?
-

I got a dozen or more 18v bare tools right now. No way am I going to sell them & switch to 20v. I do have some 12v Max stuff for lighter tasks, works well. The batteries on 20v Max slide on, where 18v push into handle. I have tested my DC9180 18v LI-ION batteries right off charger on a digital multimeter, they are at 20v. Maybe the 20v Max would be the thing to pick if you are starting off without any cordless tools.
-
I have the Milwaukee version from a few years ago. Torque is rated for 235 in-lbs max. So, a Dewalt 18v drill could break it. It would be worthless for an impact driver. I wonder what the torque rating on this one would be? Hopefully more.
-
Well I decided to go with the DWX726 mainly because I'm getting to old and tired of lifting and carrying a mitersaw.......I took advantage of the DeWalt promotional on the DWS780 and free stand for $599.00.......
I got my DWX723 for free in the same promotion. But i was not given a choice at Lowes, it was this stand or nothing.
Home Depot has the same promotion, but you can pick which of the 2 stands you want.
-
No doubt Dewalt makes the best power tools (cordless & corded). I have used the drills & impact drivers when working on cars/trucks. But mechanics hand tools? Hmmmmmm. I really cant pass judgement on something I have never tried, but for now I will probably stick to Snap On, S&K......
-
I got the DWX723. No issues.
-
Maybe a defect? I have had 2 Dewalt miter saws- DW715 Type 3 & DWS780 Type 1. Both came with all angles set right out of the box, no adjustment needed. So i have never personally had any issues with them.
This is a different model, but maybe it will help:
-
So is this kinda the 'replacement' for the DC012 or will the DC012 be produced for a while?
Will Dewalt still keep coming out with new & better 12/14.4/18v radios (& tools) or is all focus on the 12/20V MAX?
