Jimboom Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Does this engine brushes? Or is it a benefit on the longevity of this tool? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboom Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Well, I checked and I think it is impossible to change the brushes. We must change the engine. But it is cheap! Approximately 13$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmccarty Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 is there any advantage to having a calm shell design versus a jam-pot design? which do you think is better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolGeek Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Heavier duty drills normally have a cast metal gearbox section fitted at the front of the drill - a method known as ‘jampot’ construction. This method is better suited for high-torque applications, better construction allows the shells to hold together without separation where high torque occurs (gearbox, aka Transmission).

tmccarty Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 what kind of electronic package does this tool have on it compared to the Milwaukee? I like the idea of my tool having electronics to protect my investment. IE: battery and tool. referring back to my previous question: Jampot design drills have metal gear casings and clutches...are you saying that all calm shell design drills use plastic internals and gears? I know it makes the tool lighter but does it make it more susceptible to breakage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Most jam-pot designs have a metal case where the gearbox goes, that does not necessarily mean the transmission is better designed, or has fewer plastic components. It just means the metal case is protecting the transmission from outside abuse. With DEWALT's XRP5 drills, DCD9** series the Metal case actually act's as the transmissions gearbox. A true all metal design. Check out the "a look inside" board, you will see exactly what I'm talking about. If your making a comparison between Milwaukee's M12 drill vs all others, I think it was a nice gesture for Milwaukee to make it a jam-pot design, however it's a 12v drill. It's not needed, nor is it necessary. Dewalt's 12v Max has two electronic boards involved with the safety, one small board inside the battery, and another inside the Trigger Switch. The electronics prevent damage to the cells via over-discharging, temperature extremes damage to the drill itself, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick101 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I got the 12v drill/driver and impact combo... and i love them, picked up my dads mastercraft 18V and though "this is a brick!!" took the battery off of it to put it in the charger for him and the battery weighs as much a my whole drill!!

Steven Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Popular Mechanics (Dec 2011, page 98) just did a test with this drill vs 12 other models (B&D, Bosch, Craftsman, Milwaukee...). The Dewalt DCD710 scored #2 with 'Best Newcomer', with Milwaukee being #1 with 'Best Overall'. The Dewalt drilled 196 1/2" holes (in 1"x8" board) & drove 171 2.5" screws (in pressure treated lumber).

kanxrus Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I wonder why they gave Milwaukee best overall? They didn't like the grip, it's bulky, Dewalt out-preformed the Milwaukee in the runtime, and speed test.... Hmmm :-\ Milwaukee does offer a metal sleeved chuck, and a jampot design, aside from that 12v Max stomped M-12! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I have never seen a M12 at a construction site. I only seen a few 12v max, but mostly Dewalt 18v. But I do see all brands. The DCD710 is the most comfortable drill I have ever held to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anadevi Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 The 12V max drill driver I don't have a use for. Don't take my comment as knocking the 12V max tools. I like this line, and now the 20V max tools are out, most of my cordless tool purchases are now Dewalt. What was the tool that you do not have a use for? The drill driver, or the screw driver?

Sorry if I sounded put off by that, I am more just curious. I have always been pretty impressed with the drill/driver, so it surprised me to hear that. I appreciate the feedback though!

nuttcase21 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 The 12V max drill driver I don't have a use for. wanna sell it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anadevi Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 No. If you need a good compact drill, spend a little extra and get the DCD780/DCD785 compact drill. Paired with the DCF815 it's a good combination for most needs. The 12V max drill driver I don't have a use for. wanna sell it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
