kanxrus Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I only have time to do one of these test's. After the result's are in, I will create another poll, or topic asking how you guy's want the test to be completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerone40 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I vote for the impact drivers. Don't know the model numbers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ1393434539 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Truthfully, I'd like to Ni-cd 18 volt versus a 20 volt max Lithium ion. There is a difference, but how much exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Lever Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I only have time to do one of these test's. After the result's are in, I will create another poll, or topic asking how you guy's want the test to be completed. I am not a fan of the Lithium batteries. It is true I have had only one experience with them but they do not seem as durable as the 18 volt Ni-cd system. How about a comparison , sometime in the future, between two similar tools but with the different batteries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikethebike67 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 DCD970KL vs DCD985L2. I have them both. After using them in the real world I have formed my own non-scientific opinion. I would like to see your results. Btw I am an electrician. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david217 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 please do impact drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingobelle Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Must say that a comparison between the new dcd985 20v max and the old dcd970 would be interesting. Of course this is a matter of personal taste but I Think that a drill/driver is a must have for most and the impact is a nice tool but not as wide in use as the drill/driver. Thats why I want to see a test between dcd985 and dcd970. I also think that the new electronic have bigger impact on the dcd985 compared to the impacts. Maybee I´m wrong but I think it is smaller differences between the two impacts and the two drill/drivers. Have a nice time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D E W A L T Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Voted for DCD970KL vs DCD985L2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1616 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I voted to see the impact drivers instead since my impact driver has virtually replaced my drill. If I had another vote, I would like to see the DCD950 vs. the DCD985. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjones Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I voted to see the impact drivers instead since my impact driver has virtually replaced my drill. If I had another vote, I would like to see the DCD950 vs. the DCD985. The DCD950 is the same tool as the DCD970, except that it it packaged with a lithium battery. The power coming out of the tool will be the same, just that the two chemistry's will react differently to different environmental and use conditions.

steve1616 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks for the info. I thought the DCD951 was the nicad version of the DCD950. Maybe the DCD951 is just like the DCD970 except with a cheaper jacobs chuck. Do you know the answer? I voted to see the impact drivers instead since my impact driver has virtually replaced my drill. If I had another vote, I would like to see the DCD950 vs. the DCD985. The DCD950 is the same tool as the DCD970, except that it it packaged with a lithium battery.

kanxrus Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 The DCD950 is XRP5 NiCd. Meaning it is the 5th generation of XRP from Dewalt. DCD970 is the XRP5 Lithium version. Like Kjones said, the DCD950 and DCD970 are identical drill's. Only difference is the battery that come's packaged with the drill. The DCD951 is XRP3 and resembles the DC988, I'm pretty sure it is a DC988. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1616 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thank you for that information. Is this the same scenario for the 825 impact driver vs. the 827. Is the 827 impact driver better than the 825? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 It's exactly the same scenario. We did a topic on it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezz Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Is there any timeline chart out there for DeWalt drill/divers? It is so unbelievably confusing and counterproductive, from marketing point, to have that many models around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isin Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Did this test ever happen? Don't seem to be able to track it down using search... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
