This review is from: DEWALT DC720KA Cordless 18-Volt Compact Drill/Driver (Tools & Home Improvement)
As a matter of full disclosure, I am using this drill as a DIY homeowner on minor projects. This drill was my upgrade into the world of pro-grade power tools from a cheapo 14.4V Black & Decker drill. I upgraded primarily because I was frustrated by having to drill pilot holes for lag screws all the time due to the lack of power. Furthermore, my former so-called variable speed drill only had two speeds, namely 400 or 800 rpm, nothing in between so I was constantly stripping screw heads. After doing some serious research into Makita, Milwaukee, Hitachi, and Dewalt, I chose Dewalt. Why? Because of the power and construction of the tool. Dewalt uses its own measurement of torque (Unit Watts Out) whereas most other companies list max torque in ft-lbs. In my opinion, I best equate UWO to the amplifier rating in audio receivers. In receivers, many companies list their amplifier rating with only one channel driven. Rarely do companies list amplifier rating with all channels driven. UWO, to...Read more

I'm a contractor and our company specializes in erecting condos so we are more than familiar with our power tools. When I first started my job I invested in this DeWalt drill since EVERYONE has one. After using it for a while I feel that it is not all that it is hopped up to be, the battery life sucks and I had to replace the battery after a couple months because it stopped holding its charge. After trying out others I would recommend Makita for the price and performance, also do stay away from Ryobi that brand of power tools is a joke (I would get it for my learning teen but not for professional use).

This review is from: DEWALT DC720KA Cordless 18-Volt Compact Drill/Driver (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought one of these about 6 months ago, used it and gave away to my brother in-law.
A week ago I bought a Ridgid R86007N which is identical to the DeWalt DC720KA except here is where the Rigid beats the DeWalt in all categories.
(1) Tested driving large screws into 2x4's The Rigid was able to sink the screw deeper with less effort.
(2) The Rigid is lighter by 1 lb. Less Hand fatigue.
(3) The Ridgid is more compact and smaller with more power.
(3) The Rigid uses a 18V Lithium-Ion Battery instead of a 18V Ni-Cad Battery. There no comparison between the Lithium-Ion which leaves a Ni-Cad in the dust. It has more power, lasts longer and takes shorter time to charge.
(4) The DeWalt has 3 or 5 year warranty. The Ridgid has a life-time Warranty.
For a manufacture to give a Life-time warranty speaks for itself in the confidence of quality in the product.
(5) There other minor advantages, but the con is, the Ridgid doesn't come with a Case. So I bought...Read more
