DeWalt power tools are well received and favored by many DIY enthusiasts and professionals.In recent years, I have come to understand and believe that these tools and accessories are a sign of quality, with a few exceptions, and this Make will be placed at the top of my list when I change my own old power tools.In this review article, I put forward suggestions for choosing these power tools and accessories based on my own knowledge and experience.The two I currently own and often use are the 18 v cordless electric drill screwdriver and the durable clamp saw that extends from the power supply, however, after seeing the power and reliability of today's battery, I will buy Cordless batteries next time.This short clip above shows me some pine flooring using my DeWalt jig saw to make 17th-century style shelves.Electric drill is one of the most basic and commonly used tools in all electric tools.Since the early days of my DIY years ago, I have always owned and used an electric hammer drill with a power plug.Just power on and if working outside you have an extension cord long enough which is fine.If you can't use the power supply and carry the extension cord, the problem will appear, and in the best case, drilling is an inconvenience and sometimes a real pain;Especially when you carry a lot of other tools with you.Two friends I love DIY have done cordless electric drill one is a retired builder with a cordless DeWalt and the other DIY enthusiast is the proud owner of Maeda and when I help them with the DIY project, the advantage of cordless electric drill is verySo obviously I need to upgrade to cordless.Good electric drills are not cheap, so it took me a long time to study DeWalt, Makita and other cordless electric drills before making an informed decision.Although after carefully comparing all the specifications, there are a lot of good things about cordless electric drills.Overall, I finally decided to choose DeWalt as my favorite choice.After deciding on DeWalt, my next decision is which DeWalt model I should choose because there are a lot of DeWalt models to choose from, and the differences between models are usually small.In this regard, the first option is to make sure that any cordless drill I choose includes the "hammer drill" option;Anyone who has drilled bricks with a hammer will understand what I mean.Then my main decision is whether to choose 12 V or 18 V cordless drill.At that time, the 18 V version was much more expensive than the 12 V version, so careful consideration was needed.When comparing specifications and reviews, the 18 V version becomes a clear choice, as extra power means extra torque, which is especially useful for large and stubborn screws, sometimes drilling holesSo on this basis I chose and purchased the 18 V cordless drill which gave me excellent performance without any problems and exceeded all my expectations;Especially in terms of battery performance and versatility of the screw drive.The first is the battery, I am not a battery expert, but my friend has the old NiCad battery type (with the old drill bit) to drain slowly when not in use and need to discharge completely from time to time in order to extend the life, if fully discharged before charging, it lasts longer.And the new Li-The ion is brilliant, it doesn't discharge when not in use, so when I store the drill bit in winter, I can pick it up confidently in spring, because I know it has electricity.This also means that the standby battery that has been charged will be notified at any time when required;When I replace the battery, the battery just taken out of the drill bit will be charged directly and will be fully charged within an hour when needed next.Unlike old batteries, these batteries do not need to be fully discharged and can be safely charged at any time if needed.Regarding the screw drive, this cordless electric drill saved me hours.In the past, I made all the screws with my hands, which may be laborious, hard and time consuming;Even with a ratchet screwdriver.A few years ago I got a screwdriver powered by a rechargeable battery with a built-in battery in my handle, but the battery quickly discharged and needed to be charged before each use and was very powerful;So I always do it by hand anyway.However, with this DeWalt bit, the Chuck can replace the bit with just a quick twistg.From the drill bit of the guide hole to the screwdriver, you are ready to roll.There is a switch at the top to switch from the drill bit to the screwdriver setting (which is a good habit), but it still acts as a screwdriver if you forget that it doesn't matter.And reverse e.g.Just press the black button on the side to unscrew the screw;So the whole operation is very simple.I have a good manual ratchet screwdriver and I put it in the toolbox and sometimes use it for quick workg.One or two odd screws that use the same screwdriver drill bit as a cordless electric drill (which is handy), but in the main case I use DeWalt for most of my screws to work.Around the same time I bought the cordless DeWalt electric drill, I also replaced my old clamp saw, which made me see a better day;Like cordless electric drills, after studying the network of independent reviews and user reviews and comparing the specifications, I chose DeWalt as a reliable and durable fixture saw.However this time I am happy to be satisfied with using the cable clamp saw with plug, because unlike the drill bits used in the DIY workshop where the clamp saw is mainly used, so I don't need to drag the cable extension every time I want to use it;On this strange occasion, I might use the fixture other than the one I saw in the shed, as it only appears occasionally, which is not a problem.The only real advantage of using a cordless clamp saw is safety as there is no cable that can be accidentally cut off with a blade;While I always stress making sure the cable is behind me when using an electric clamp saw, as long as you put safety first, this should not be an issue.Therefore, it is a personal preference for you to choose a wire or cordless clamp saw;In any case, with a DeWalt clamp saw, you have a high quality power tool that provides good performance.In addition to that, regarding the fixture saw, there is nothing to say except the importance of purchasing a high quality blade and working with a suitable blade.g.Metal, wood, plastic, etc.The DeWalt saw is well balanced and easy to hold, and if you don't force it to cut at your own speed, it can work with the right blade, good cuts are guaranteed almost every time.How to deal with your old drill bits if they are still in good working condition;One option is to customize the fixture to give it a new life.I haven't touched my old cord plug drill since buying DeWalt cordless drill, but it's too good to throw it away, so I want to make a custom fixture for it, and fix it in my home DIY workshop for special features.The obvious option is a fixed bench drill, but I already have a bench drill, so it's possible to install it on the side of the bench drill and install some polishing, grinding or cutting accessories.This is something I need to consider for future projects;Although any suggestions will be greatly appreciated in the comments at the bottom of the page
