dwain Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hey everyone, If you want (or just want to lust over) a serious drill, look no further. This thing was nearly twice as fast as my DCD985 (before its crippling) at small diameter steel drilling ... The fillers in FEINs 18v range, have a very short review here: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Dwain, do you think this is a step for Fein to develop their own stand alone cordless drill line up made in Germany? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hey Chris, That is absolutely FEINs intention. It's just gonna take them some time to get the majority of 14.4V tools to the 18V line, and probably a couple of years to get German designed and made compact drill, drivers, wrenches etc...

DR99 Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I would really like to have that drill but the Milwaukee fuel is good enough for what I drill into. I wonder if we will see Milwaukee put more gears into their gearbox it seems like some of the higher end brands are making that move.

dwain Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yep, it would certainly be my tool of choice, but way above my needs. I think the number of gears required depends on the RPM. For a tool up around 2000 RPM, I like having a three speed, but two will do. For the FEIN, you need at LEAST three, and four is nice!
