It is not brushless

Thought so, the link you posted on the first page said it was and got me confused.
Is there a brushless 6 1/2" version?

I am confused about the dcs393b whether it is brushless or not. In the link posted on the first page for the dcs393b, it says it is brushless. But most other places say it isn't.

I believe they are 5ah you'll want to check and be sure what the batteries are. The circ saw is preference

From what I have seen, the 6 1/2" version is not brushlesss unless I missed something
NVM about that, seems the dcs393 is brushless. Some places doesn't say that.

That set listed there is the DCK494p2 set.
So if I want the brushless circ saw, does it have to be the 7 1/4" version?
This set here comes with the 5.0ah batteries, correct?
-
Ok that is what I thought. Are there any sets that have the brushless hammer drill along with the brushless impact driver, circ saw and sawzall?
-
I found this set on home depot website. https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-20-Volt-MAX-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Brushless-Combo-Kit-2-Tool-w-FLEXVOLT-and-20V-Batteries-Bonus-Circ-Saw-and-Recip-Saw-DCK299D1T1W391380/303219056
On the saws that come with this, are those brushless? From what I have seen, they are not.

According to dewalts website, the dcd791 has a metal ratcheting chuck, guessing that is different than the carbide chuck on the dcd991 and 996.
I am looking at the DCK484D2 set which has the dcd791 drill. Looking to buy a 20v set with drill, impact driver, circ saw and sawzall and a flashlight would be nice

Welcome to the forum.
I don't have the hammer drill.
Here is my drill topic, maybe it will be helpful.
Nice review on that drill. Trying to find out if the non hammer drill is actually built different than the hammer drill.
Would not be using the hammer part that often, 99% of the time, would be just drilling. Having said that, would the non hammer drill last just as long?
-
When it comes to dewalt 20v brushless drills, are there any differences between hammer and non hammer besides the obvious hammer part? Are the hammer drills built heavier overall?
-
Trying to decide if I want to get the hammer drill version. It will rarely get used but at same time, if there comes a time I need to drill a few small holes in concrete, I would be able to. But also looks like the sets with the hammer drill are more expensive.

7.25" is right hand and the 6.5" is left hand. As far as durability, no
Heres a link for explanation. Also toolguyd.com is a great tool review website.

Ok ty for the info. Are the hammer drill versions built more heavy duty?

the circular saw is a 7-1/4 inch diameter. It is not a compact saw. The recip is a compact recip. Compact tools generally have a lower price. I would avoid using 2 ah batteries in any circ saws especially the 7 inchers. Using one on a 6 incher is bad enough but a 7 incher is almost unusable. You might get half a dozen cuts at most with very little power. The 5 ah kit may be more expensive but it is a lot better option if you are planning to use circular saws. More work can get done with a 5ah due to having 5 extra cells at the tools disposal. I haven't found a brushless kit with the 5ah and circ saw but there is one with the 5ah and recip saw. It also includes an upgraded hammer drill. It is the DCD996 which has more power and a 3 speed gearbox.
Are compact saws built any less durable or reliable than non compact saws? Besides the size difference, what are the differences between a compact and non compact saw?
While looking at sets, I thought about something. Does any company have the option where you can put together the set you want? I looked on dewalt but didn't notice anything like that.

What set would that be? In the current set I have, I do have the hammer drill but have not had to use the hammer part very often at all. I could get by without having that unless it is built heavier than the regular version.
If I want to go with 5.0ah, would I be better buying a 5.0ah set or buying a 2.0ah set, turn around and sell the 2.0ah batteries and buy 5.0ah batteries?

First, if you are talking about the older 18 volt NiCd batteries and 20 volt lithium batteries, they are both 18 volts. They got cute and rated the lithium batteries at the peak value coming fresh off the charger. Run it a few seconds and you are down to 18 volts. Even the NiCd's are over 18 volts, fresh off the charger. This has been discussed to death. Some companies call their lithiums 18 (Milwaukee) and some call them 20 (DeWalt). They can squeeze a lot more capacity (run time) and higher current available by putting cells in parallel with lithium cells. That was never done with NiCds. Brushless motors use power more efficiently and have no brushes to wear out but but torque is torque. Compare torque specs to detirmine which drill is more powerful. For a light user brushless will not show a big advsntage. It is the new sales fad. It is like synthetic motor oil in a lightly used car that gets regular oil changesThere are also new 4 pole brushed motors that are great performers. If the drill is your #1 device, I would look at Makita. They have the best Japanese keyless chuck, as opposed to the Chinese stuff used by others. I don't know anything about their combo kits.

I didn't realize that about the voltage and hate how companies do stuff like that.
Guess I will have to decide if the brushless set is worth the extra cost for what I do with them. Do like the sound of no brushes to wear out which I would guess the tool would last longer. They will not get used daily but will be used often. The drill and circ saw will be the most commonly used items.
Also thought about getting a 20v adapter to use on my old 18v tools but the circ saw has an issue but also possible that the battery could be the issue as well, it's getting weak and doesn't hold a charge that long anymore.
Thanks for all the help so far
Been looking at brushless dewalt sets and found one with a circ saw instead of a sawzall but it is quite a bit more expensive. The set with the circ saw is DCK483D2 and is $489 where the set with the sawzall, DCK484D2 is $350. Why is the first one so much higher? These prices are from ebay and realize the price depends on the seller. I found the DCK483D2 set on amazon for $359.
I do already have a 3.0ah 20v battery, not sure I would need the 5.0ah battery.
doublearon98, would that code still be good or was that only good yesterday?
-
Sorry didn't see that post before I posted.
On that set, it says it comes with two 2.0ah batteries. On the dck592l2 set, it comes with two 3.0ah batteries. How big of a difference is that? And what does XR mean?
-
Ty for the info
What sets are brushless?
-
Circular saw, sawzall, drill, impact driver and flashlight is all I really need. All the other stuff like grinder, impact would be nice but not needed, plus those sets can get pretty expensive. Looking to stay under $400.
Is the dck592l2 set brushless? What is the difference between brushless and brush sets?
-
So I have been looking to get a 20v lithium 5 piece combo set, drill, impact driver, circular saw, sawzall and flashlight. Been looking at dewalt pretty heavy since that is what we have now, standard 18volt set and had good luck with them for the most part. Another reason for looking at dewalt is we have a 20v lithium dewalt grease gun, trying to keep from having different battery types. Been looking at the dewalkt dck592l2 and the dck590l2 set. It seems the dck592l2 set has upgraded tools but does cost a little more. Wouldn't mind having a radio as well but can't seem to find a set that has that unless I look at bigger sets. Radio is not really necessary.
Also looked at milwaukee sets but not as hard yet as I have heard good things about these too. Are there any sets to stay away from? That goes for any brand.
These tools will not be used daily but will get used more than the average homeowner. These will be used on a farm so they will see their fair share of use. How big of a difference will I notice going from standard 18v to 20v lithium?
Dewalt DCA1820 adapter question
in Power Tools
Posted
I have a couple of tools that use the 18v nicd batteries and the batteries need to be replaced. Well I have a dewalt 20v grease gun that uses the 20v lithium battery. So I figured I would get an 18v to 20v adapter to be able to use that 20v battery in the other tools. I have the DCB200 3.0ah lithium battery. According to what I have read, the DCA1820 adapter will not work with this battery. Anyone have any experience with this?
