BOLTR: Installation Driver | DeWalt beats Milwaukee

The only correct location for a forward/reverse selector: where everybody else puts it!

DeWalt also has a locking collar on the offset drill attachment, which retains the bit when pulling out... The Milwaukee doesn't, so the bit gets stuck in the material and pulls out of the tool, definite oversight on Milwaukees part. Nice review👍

Direction switch placement is crucial when pulling drywall screws with a nut buster socket. No need to dig the mud out of the Phillips sluts, the nut buster grips the outer head. Using pliers in the non dominant hand, grab the now freed tire ventilation device, reverse direction and clear the socket for next screw. Hit reverse switch again. 5 per minute or more.

When using a chainsaw to open boxes on the bench it should be used upside down. That way the chain teeth push the box forward into the pile of tools and parts instead of pulling it off the bench.

[@speake7777777]

Bosch has a version of this called "flexiclick" in both 12V and 20V. Only the 12v model has a stackable 90 degree, although maybe it will fit on the 20V model, also for the 20V model there is a hammer drill gearbox available separately, much like the Black + Decker Matrix/ craftsman Bolt-On. I've had the 2nd gen matrix for a few years now, and have torn up pallets to make crates with it, and other jobs and found it to be quite awesome, since a lot of tools have essentially the same motor just different gearboxes, and for the ones that are seldom used the space is more valuable than special jigsaw features for example if you are not a wood worker. Also working at a friends place it is nice to have basically a whole shop in a small bag for all the "little things" she didn't mention before you showed up. It is too bad they are using less metal on the chucks with each version, and using the 2ng gen amazon reviews and listing with the updated 3gen tool so I don't know what if any improvements have been made, or if it is just cost cutting.

[@davidskala7652]

I had the old DW XRP tools, they had high quality motors spur cut gears etc. The company went in a slump producing crap for the DIY market for a while.

With 18V, no problem (but increasing weight and especially tool height a fair bit). However, converting a 10.8V in-handle battery to connect to a slide-underneath-the-handle tool isn't going to be compact or ergonomic in any way, shape or form.

[@ZilenceEdits]

I use the 12v dewalt screwdriver (DCF601F2) at work, nothing but love for it. The milwaukee 12v drill/driver I used previously cramped my hand holding that fat handle. Broke it from a drop off a 12ft ladder. The dewalt you can sit uprite rather than on it's side only cause of the flat battery pack. Really good balance. It's the only dewalt tool on my truck though but I am impressed.

[@dsgamecube]

You should take a look at the Bosch version of this, the GSR12V-FCB22. It's 25% lighter, about 30% more powerful, smaller, includes two batteries, and is generally cheaper (though the price varies wildly for some reason depending on where and when you buy it; I picked it up for $150).
