tooljoe Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 what I dind't like about this drill is that there is no bearing on the front aluminum shell as the last picture shows. compared to my DC825 shell...

kjones Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Isn't that a sealed bearing on the brushless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooljoe Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 nope... that is a pressed on steel sleeve "bearing" i see those all over in other applications... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooljoe Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 i also didn't like that high pitch noise in 3rd setting... it hurts my ears running the drill with no load..., my 18v max impact and my 12v max impact don't have that high pitch noise with no load.

tooljoe Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 A lil update from my limited experience with this drill, it is my favorite drill now. I just hope dewalt adds a bearing in the shell in the near future. I did a 12 hr shift today my battery is still showing 3 lights. Plus, the reverse/forward switch requires less pressure to toggle... smooth. If you do a lot of forward and reverse, this will be more gentle on your fingers. More over, I found the 3 speed very useful... this drill is too fast for some applications For whatever it's word, after looking at the innards, I think the impact wrench is next... the hammer looks and weights (9.2OZ) the same as my dc825 (converted to a 1/2 impact wrench).... Mechanics would love longer run time wrench great buy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
