New Dewalt DCD999T1 Flexvolt Advantage Drill Tests Vs DCD996

[@Legionar94]

Sorry to break it to you, but you are wrong. The highest amount of torque u can get out of those drills is actually in speed one. It's all about gear ratios, highest speed doesn't mean highest torque, actually its the other way round. Same as your manual car, when you are going uphill you shift down to a lower gear to get more torque to wheels. Both of those drills can get those lags in no probs in speed 1. Try it out, you will be surprised. Keep up the good work tho, love the channel!

[@jeffostroff]

I mentioned this to someone else who pointed it out, I was not focused when I spoke, and was thinking the opposite, because speed 1 is the slowest speed, and peed 3 is the fastest speed. So I meant to say I wanted to just lower the speed setting, which raises the torque.

I bought my 996 before the 999 was released, i think maybe 4 years ago, i use it everyday for mixing drywall mud, set on 1. Ive never had a problem with it, mixes without stopping. I used the 6ah battery, once in a while battery died by end of day, but ive 2 batteries so no big deal. Got a 10ah battery for a super price, now never dies. I know dewalt makes a mud mixer, but its a 60v, and heavy, and expensive. No regrets buying the 996.

[@nicholasburks1118]

Jeff, the hammer mode is not for screwing in screws. It is used with a masonry bit for drilling through masonry products. The hammer mode applies downward force in pulses allowing you to drill through masonry with the correct bit. A impact, applies torsional force in pulses, which helps your screw in things. So remember: Hammer - Downwards force (Break) Impact - Torsional Force (screw)

[@jeffostroff]

Yes, I've been using hammer mode for years to drill holes for our Tapcons. We play with the drills in many modes during reviews to show people how they react.

If you are not going do do really heavy drilling into concrete all the time, then you can get by with the 996. As for Power Detect vs Flexvolt Adavantage, I think they are one and the same, and it boils down to which kit can you get for the best price. Either of these drills will serve you well.

The regular 20 Volt battery comes with that drill when you get it in a kit. I just had the flexvolt battery there I use whatever battery I have within my reach at any given time they all work period if you put a flexvolt battery on it it will treat it as a 20 Volt battery.

Miguel you and I might not notice the difference in power as the RPMs and everything else are the same. But they do say that a Flexvolt battery on this drill should give you more power.

[@jeffroalpha700]

Great video! Just had 2 quick comments: 1) Both drills use an electronic clutch. When it “gave up” driving the lag on #11, that was only because it hit its torque cutoff. Would have been interesting to see the lag driven in standard drilling mode. 2) The yellow DCB118 fast charger is actually an 8 A-h charger, not a 3 A-h. Unfortunately, they are actually including a slower charger (6 A-h) with the DCD999. Between that and it being made in China (along with the identical DCF887 that is also included with the DCD996 kit but made in the USA), it was just a little disappointing to see. The only other 8 A-h Dewalt charger is the 4-bank DCB104. The DCB104 will also charge 12-volt MAX batteries, which is extremely versatile and nice on a big fast charging system. Dewalt recently released a new 12 A-h charger (DCB1112), and that is now their fastest charger. It does look like Dewalt has one other new kit combo version of this drill: DCK2100P2 (vs the DCK2100D1T1 tested here). The tools are the same, but they include the faster DCB118 charger and two 5 A-h XR batteries instead of the slower charger, a 2 A-h and a FlexVolt battery. It’s nice they have the faster charger in that kit, but not including the FlexVolt battery kind of defeats the purpose of this new drill…

Given this is such a good opportunity with the buy one get one let me bother you one further time...for now. There is much commentary in my recent research that the 999 is the best presently and “blows away” the others, but for smaller jobs perhaps the smaller impact driver (dcf887?) a good idea? One of them said that is the only flexvolt adaptable driver. If so, what other tool would you suggest for that buy one deal? Or would you get the set that is displayed on your video fairly recently where you are standing next to it, I guess in your yard, making the “is this for real” (not sarcastic version) look?

@@TheBestestX1 dont get me wrong I've an older 996 (with that aweful electronic clutch) and used it once or twice for concrete but even that wouldn't touch engineering brick the sds was only a couple of hundred quid (dcd273) and it eats concrete for breakfast I've actually ran a 25mm drill with it through concrete block it got through with little drama

The highest torque is speed 1. The fact that you dont know that is mind blowing.

[@jeffostroff]

Yes I definitely misspoke because the #1 setting is the highest torque, but it is the slowest speed. these Freudian slips can be a bear. Working out in 95 degree heat with 65% humidity really does take a toll on my brain, you should see how many times I have to stop and restate something!

Is it normal for this drill to make a clicking noise as soon as you press and release the trigger?

Only noise similar to that I hear is almost a grinding noise if it is set to hammer mode. That's the hammer action. But in normal drill mode, you should not hear clicking.

I thought XR just meant extended runtime

[@jeffostroff]

XR on the Dewal totals refers to the motors being brushless which are more efficient and that equals better battery life. The XR line of batteries according to DeWalt will last us last 33% longer than the 20v "max" line of batteries of the same size.

This video is in good detail about New Dewalt DCD999T1 Flexvolt Advantage Drill Kit witch replaced the DCD996 and DCD796. My question is: I have the DCD796 and I was thinking to purchase the New DCD999 Flexvolt Drill and Battery. But I noticed that the DCD999 does not have the XR logo on the cordless drill anymore. Does that mean that I will not be able to interchange batteries. Can I put a 6Ah Flex Battery on my DCD796 or DCD996 with out frying the motor? Does XR DCD996 and XR DCD796 use there own XR Batteries up to 6Ah or 8Ah? Does the New DCD999 use only Flexvolt Advantage Battery Technology and a New Air-Cooled Charger designed for Big-Size 6Ah Flex Batteries and up. Also because the motor and whole drill is designed for it. Let me know thank you. Keep up the great work on your tool videos.

[@jeffostroff]

The DCD999 works with all my batteries, don't get too hung up about the logo missing. You can use a Flexvolt battery on your drill too, it just will act as a 20V battery, that is why they call it Flexvolt. It can be a 20V battery or a 60V battery depending how the tool is keyed.

Next time put it in drill mode , it overrides the clutch settings and gives you full torque. As well as doing that you could have put it into lower gear, hammer mode doesn't do anything other than impact for concrete drilling.

Very detailed review of the new DCD 999. I would love to see a comparison between this and the power detect, the 996 (old model) and the gen 3 milwaukee. Pieces of advice the hammer drill mode isn’t necessarily the strongest setting of the drill. Only should be used when drill into concrete. For lags into lumber stick to the drill mode only.

[@jeffostroff]

Yes, I tried a few modes, what do you think of #11 torque setting vs the drill mode?

In New Zealand we have 18V and 54V flexvolt tool to instead of 20V and 60V flexvolt and I’m assuming that they are almost the exact same except the amount of Volts on the American tools may have a little bit more power.. Do you know why there is a difference????

[@jeffostroff]

The 20v batteries are no load, they really produce 18V under load. Likewise our 60v flexvolt batteries likely put out 54V, that's the only thing I can think of.

[@cameronhill6368]

jeffostroff oh ok, so they both produce 18v and 54v but they just say 20v and 60v

[@firesurfer]

In the US, the general convention is that 18v were for nicad batteries and 20v are lithium. The difference is really marketing. It prevents people from buying lithium batteries thinking they can charge them with a nicad charger. (which is a no-no) The mounting system and chargers are not compatible, so it basically prevents misunderstanding when buying them. Nicads are obsolete now. But the original idea hangs on.

[@thetoolmat8632]

Truth in advertising, you have it, the USA does not. Milwaukee actually owns all rights to lithium modular batteries (or so they say) , they have sued everyone over the years and renewed patents, and all settled out of court with Mikwaukee (man if I just had a dollar for each battery sold right?) ... One of which I read a few years back that 18v would be exclusive to Milwaukee and TTI...

The DCD999B, stands for bare tool so when you buy it just in a box by itself with no battery or anything you get the B. The T1 at the end is their designation for a kit that has a battery and a charger and a bag. Typically you won't see it listed as just DCD999, I'm not sure buying a kit and they will describe it saying you have a DCD999 in the kit, but in theory I would assume you're really getting a DCD999B because it's a bare tool so it's just really a nomenclature thing.
