DeWalt Dcf601f2/dcb124 Screwdriver Kit, 1/4 Inch Hex Drive Size, 100 RPM Free Speed, Brushless Motor

Finally put aside my ignorance for 12v brick battery tools when I tested this out in store. I always figured why make a compact tool and not have the battery built into the grip otherwise just use a 18-20v if the brick battery is your style. However this grip feels really good and would say it feels like the comfort of a handgun as oppose to a thick stripper pole that MKE and Bosch sell for 12v tools that I use. It's a driver with a nice delicate clutch, which is perfect for my line of work of fasteners ranging from plastic to sheet metal. The head of the tool is shorter than the competition and the added height of the battery type hasn't made a difference in cramped spaces for me, it's where the head length counts the most. It may not put out as much torque or ... MoreFinally put aside my ignorance for 12v brick battery tools when I tested this out in store.

The head of the tool is shorter than the competition and the added height of the battery type hasn't made a difference in cramped spaces for me, it's where the head length counts the most. It may not put out as much torque or speed amongst the competition, however it's ergonomics and features is what made this tool beat-out the rest for me. The bright inline leds are just not seen on these clutch drivers, only impacts which is a shame. That light and the easy insert and release chuck was a big selling point. When your job requires you to use as many as five separate bits at a time (ie T15, T20, T25, 1/4", 1/8 hex), this chuck makes it hassle free to swap quick and easy. Love this tool now over my Bosch and MKE 12v drivers. Hope Dewalt can expand their 12v line soon, I'm liking their 12v worklight to pair with the driver kit I have now.

I used this light duty on industrial printers for 9 months. All T20 work and below, very low power stuff. The clutch/teeth/collet section stopped working. The online warranty service states the unit is under warranty but they do not repair this model. I contact support directly and they refer me to the website to schedule a repair that doesn't exist as an option. Now they won't respond. This is my last DeWalt. Milwaukee's warranty service is amazing and their tools are 10x more durable. Buy once for high price, cry once, and leave it at that.

Most people already have a drill and impact driver, this fills the gap between a handheld manual screwdriver and the drill. Since it's lightweight it helps reduce fatigue when all you are doing is driving or removing small screws. I definitely needed this when I was repairing my dryer because I had to remove the battery before I could get my big 18v drill into the access hole. Of all the major power tool companies Dewalt and Milwaukee offer a lower power 12v platform. The Dewalt is brushless while the base Milwaukee is not and both are the same price, if you want the brushless Milwaukee it's $50, I'm a homeowner, not a contractor. This will be perfect in the spring when I de-winterize my camper since I'm not lugging a big 18v drill up and down a ladder to service ... MoreMost people already have a drill and impact driver, this fills the gap between a handheld manual screwdriver and the drill.

I've also used it to quickly take hose clamps on and off using a nut driver.
