Mahon Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi DeWalters My Makita burned (blowed) up!! I'm planning 2buy my first DeWalt power drill What should I buy DC927 DCD925B2 DCD925L2 Which tool should I buy from the 3 above The diff. in spec's are minimal though. best regards Mahon de Ville *added* I think the model numbers are diff. in Belgium ...see >> http://www.dewalt.be/nl/powertools/productdetails/catno/DC927KL/ http://www.dewalt.be/nl/powertools/productdetails/catno/DCD925B2/ http://www.dewalt.be/nl/powertools/productdetails/catno/DCD925L2/ The shop-owner recommended the DC927?? ° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I would not suggest the DC927. The DCD925B2 Is the US equivalent to the DCD950, and the DCD925L2 is the US equivalent to the DCD970. If you are using these tools in a shop and you don't plan on doing any light masonry drilling, then I would not recommend any of them. If I had to pick between the three you chose, then I would pick the DCD925L2 based on the lithium battery platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahon Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 If you are using these tools in a shop and you don't plan on doing any light masonry drilling, then I would not recommend any of them. No light masonry,no .... only workshop and hobby (home)! But I do like good quality tools. The 3 above where suggested 2me by the store (vendor) What do "you" recommend, forget the 3 above! I saw all your tests on Youtube. Thnx Mahon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 DC722KL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahon Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Thnx JC Is it the same (but Eu version) as the one you are testing in this topic http://dewaltownersgroup.com/index.php/topic,91.0.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 It would be more like the DCD760. The DC720 is the NiCd version. The DC720 also has a higher UWO than the DCD760. DC720 = 410 UWO DCD760 = 350 UWO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanxrus Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well, what are your main drilling/driving tasks in your shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahon Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Mostly woodwork and rarely such "big holes" as in your tests Not professional, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 What do you do more of... Drilling, or Driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahon Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well mostly I do some pré-drilling before driving, to prevent splitting/splicing of the wood or panel! Actually I was planning to buy a Makita TD090DWE .... just before my Makita powerdrill exploded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Have you considered having a tool for both applications? DCX3240 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahon Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Not really but it's a good idea My makita was a: 12 volt 2.6 ah Type 6316D Now I want 18volt not 12 or 14! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well I was unable to find any 18v combo kits, so I would still suggest the 722. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahon Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I just found one that was stashed away Including the DC722 http://www.dewalt.be/nl/powertools/productdetails/catno/DCX4240/ .... good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 That is a SUPER KIT! My answer would be YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahon Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 2x 18volt lithium battery, that I do like. Can you tell me what the advantage of a "frameless" motor is? Thanks ZZZzzzzz Sleeeep >> in Belgium it is very late now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 The frameless motor does a few things. Allows for a more compact tool design, and a lighter tool. It also get's the motor out of the traditional can (frame). Doing this allows you to repair/replace individual parts rather than having to replace the entire motor. The frameless motor also allows the motor to run cooler, which in turn increases motor life and efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
