The Ultimate Wrenching Tool For RC Junkies: The DeWalt DCF680 Gyroscopic Screwdriver

[@summerofsam99]

I started using this because I was a basic printer technician and this was great for that. Light weight, powerful enough for the small screws I needed to replace sensitive parts and greatly increased my repair time since some replacements required so many screws and doing it by hand was taking forever. Plus it’s good enough for doing other basic needs around the house.

[@nhomotnguoi5610]

There's nothing more annoying than having to hand-screw something together kzbin.infoUgkx1McjgiqTNcTjrhvRvJWcrk5bzTeQW-Wn except for the pain in your wrist that is. This addition to my tool kit is great and I can get a lot done without all the pain and annoyance. The battery last's a long time and I have yet to run out of power when doing a small project (granted I am saying small project because I'm no construction worker). The only thing that I wish it had was an LED or pair of LEDs to indicate when it was charging and whether or not the charge was complete (or full).

"Im what they call, a professional wrencher!" HaHaHa! Thank you, that made my day! I lost my shit!

[@Leo-pd8ww]

I didn't get that part either. Even in the description hex bits are referred to as wrenches... He claims to be doing this for 15 years... Wth???

[@niw-w1f]

Finally a review I can use, All the other video's are of people who actually sell this machine.. and only screw in a screw in a piece of random wood..? Thank you very much for taking the time and showing it (Also my purposed use is pretty much the same as yours only more for small assembly runs).

[@MERBABU-AC]

Maybe you would like to make a video about the battery, I want to see the cell. I searched on KZbin but haven't found anything yet. Is the cell different from the one on the market that uses lithium 1850🙏

[@jameswagner5098]

I just ordered this kit, can’t wait till Tuesday when it arrives!

[@BobbyWatts]

Awesome, enjoy!

[@gewglesux]

Just ordered one... need MIP bits though. The ones you mentioned.. are the normal sizes for RC applications?

[@Harryd06]

I really would like one of these now they look awesome

[@MrJoefoefrombuffalo]

Please consider doing a review on the flashlight that uses the same battery

[@MrTom1379]

Can’t seem to buy it anywhere in the uk

[@toyota218921]

I've got the old one but now it's gona be the new one. Cheers

[@BobbyWatts]

Nice go for it! I got the package with multiple batteries, it was really great!

[@JoeyRam.]

Even in right angle drill, works gyroscopic or there's a trigger like any drill?

[@brody1153]

Does it work vertically though

[@av_rob79]

Great review, just got one today for working on rc cars. What's a good clutch setting for small screws into plastic? (Rollers and stuff) wondering if lowest still has enough power to strip the plastic? I think they really should have listed the torque settings. Anyway good review and seems like a great must have tool for anyone in the hobby.

[@mcbrite]

You just feel the torque setting... I start low and just increase it until it's JUST enough to do the job... For small screws in plastic I'd literally start at 1 and take it from there...

[@misumikaminari]

Looks like an amazing tool! I do electrician stuff so im not sure how great itd work for me but ill have to find a demo one of these days.

[@rexbuenaventura6900]

Can this replace the Dremel?

[@Mosestylez]

Which one would you recommend, this or Bosch Go 2? :)

[@simonspeaker]

when you are in midle position, does the tool just shake?

[@Buddy-po4hv]

it "hums" but does not shake, just a humming sound.

[@alzaabialzaabi]

Can I disable Gyroscopic feature and make it normal ?

[@BobbyWatts]

No you cannot

[@alzaabialzaabi]

@@BobbyWatts Thank you for the reply

[@chrisdale2625]

Just getting into RC building and looking into buying this and I'm sold it's going to help alot

[@namepending155]

So it doesn't have a drill setting or "no clutch" option? Can you manually turn screws when you let off the button?

[@BobbyWatts]

It has a MAX setting which does not have a clutch, it just gives everything that it's got

[@chriscarr1647]

What torque setting do you suggest for rc cars/trucks

[@namepending155]

So basically you press the button and that is your zero, left or right rotate from there is your speed? It is a gyro driven potentiometer?

[@BobbyWatts]

Yes that is correct!

[@jc51373]

Can this be used in a gentle way, like in other words is the trigger pull like and on/off similar to a light switch or does it respond well to trigger pull depression. So if you wanted to ease a bolt in or out.

[@BobbyWatts]

The only way to adjust speed is based on how much of an angle you rotate after depressing the button. It is extremely accurate

[@jc51373]

@@BobbyWatts thanks..I am looking to use this for various light duty things but mainly for high end RC cars. so drilling and screwing plastics and light metals that feature becomes very important.

[@gunit3333]

Thanks for your review! Bought this screwdriver and MIP bits based on your recommendations, what level do you set your clutch on to make sure you don’t strip any screws?

[@BobbyWatts]

Awesome! Depending on the bolt head size and the size of the actual screw, I use anywhere from 9 to 15

[@stanleyraymond5891]

Hello from little island of Singapore! Great quick and brief review! Would like to ask if the gyroscopic function can be turned off as I wish? Can I stop the rotation halfway by turning it the other way? When I turn it the other way, will it stop or will it start rotating the other way? Can it still operate like a normal finger-triggered driver instead of using the gyroscopic trigger? Oh and does the LED turns on with light press of trigger even before rotation begins and turns off a few seconds after rotation has stopped? Thanks in advance! 😁👍

[@mxmax127]

Will it strip out small bolts on rc

[@BobbyWatts]

Not if you set the clutch properly

[@MrDevo5]

does it work the same vertically?

[@BobbyWatts]

Yes it does

[@JT-il3fe]

Wrench?

[@rajkumarmaurya4999]

How much

[@smokeyjo7420]

Audio levels. Trying to hear what you're saying while extra generic rock blares not in the background but the foreground

[@gambirro]

Works the same way upside or downside?

[@Buddy-po4hv]

it works in any position

[@ChiCan76]

It does not collapse into a drill, it collapses into a right angle screwdriver.

[@BobbyWatts]

Oops! I Misspoke... it folds into the shape of a drill at a right angle.

[@ChiCan76]

@@BobbyWatts Still a great review, enough so that I'm buying one as a result. All the best Mr. Watts!

[@reverse_aid0744]

Ayo wtf I didn't know it could turn into a gun shape..... I BEEN USING MINE THE WRONG WAY.

[@mightymcgee9199]

LOL

[@danmorgoshi7598]

...uhmm.. Naah . Nothing better than Makita td022dse .. The best of the best , than any screwdriver . Definitely more torque ./.

Alright fanboy.
