Advantages: Reliable, easy to use, quick recharge, two speed, 13mm keyless chuck, forward/reverse facility, many different torque settings. Meant for Industrial use. Disadvantages: Heavy, but well balanced, can cause wrist ache if used a lot.
DeWalt are a company more associated with the professional or industrial side of the tools market. I recently started work as a Cabinet Maker and needed a reliable, heavy duty and long lasting cordlessdrill/screwdriver. My boss advised me to buy a DeWaltdrill as it would hopefully be a long lasting and heavy duty drill.
I went ahead with it and followed his advice and bought a DeWaltDW914K2 14.4 Volt CordlessDrill/Screwdriver. This drill costs approximately £253 (including VAT). This seems a lot compared to drills you may see in cotalogues and many tool shops, but they tend to be the DIY drills for light use.
The 14.4Vdrill appears big and bulky, and although it is fairly heavy at 2.1kg it is well balanced unlike many drills. You can easily line up the drill to drill a straight and accurate hole, asit is fairly square ...
Advantages: Light Weight, Professional Grade, Easy To Use Disadvantages: Not Lethium Ion, so charging times are alittle longer.
In my opinion one of the best combi drill i have used. I am a certified electrician and i use it for all types of work i carry out. It's nice and compact (compared to other 18Vdrills) which is a plus when is comes to getting in really tight places. I would recommend it to anyone. I have tried a lot of drills in my career, by all means this one has beat them all. Anyone out there tired of spending money on expensive drills, just to hassle with instructions and complicated attachments, don't put yourself through that. This drill is the BEST, very very very easy to use. Last year my girlfriend wanted to hang curtain rods, she was keen in doing it her self, and she did. I mean if my girlfriend can use this drill and do a professional job anyone can.
EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!!!! ...
Advantages: Easy to use, several 'power' options for various 'jobs' and good battery time Disadvantages: none for the price.
I am the proud owner of several DIY tools, from your basic claw hammer to an industrial circular saw, (which, when I use it, still manages to scare the hell out of me sometimes).
Anyway, the biggest boon in the Do It Yourself world has got to be the cordless/ battery powered power tool collection, such as saws, sanders, planes and especially the good old cordless power drill, with a vast range of power options.
I do own a few of these type of drills, even a JML Dual Drill, which is a true genius in itself, and a few others of different power ratings, including the rather fine Bosch PSB 18VE2, which this review is going to be about.
It claims to be the ultimate cordless combi drill which will bore through materials such as wood, masonry and even steel, (of course this depends on the actual drill bit), whilst still be capable ...
