DeWalt claims a near 50% increase using the Flexvolt Advantage Hammer Drill with the right battery? So does our testing back up these claims?

I think we have a new go-to channel for drill testing. Killing it buddy. Great job my man. Enjoyed every second as always. ✊. Have a great weekend brother and my best to the family
Thanks for the support! Same to you and your family.
Very nice testing. I'd only add the testing on the DCD996 with either a Flexvolt or 20V Max battery with 21700 cells to see if it closes the gap between the DCD996 / 5 amp and the DCD999 / 6Ah Flexvolt
Yep you are right. I’ll add it to my future video ideas.
Tested the 999 against gen 3 Milwaulkee 2years + ago . DeWalt showed slightly more power than my Milwaukee when paired with my 9 ah yellow belly Flexvolt. Thought you might wanna know
I just bought this drill yesterday. I can`t believe the difference! It`ll rip your arms off compared to the older outdated one. It`s ALOT more powerful! NO REGRETS buying it!
Yes it is a lot more powerful.
After experiencing the DCD800, I’m insanely stoked for the future Dewalt hammer drills! I have the DCD999 too so it will be hard to convince the wife I need an upgrade 😂
I’m anticipating big things from its replacement. I hope it doesn’t let me down.
@@TinkerWithTools sorry, I'm new to the space (just getting back into the market for a new hammer drill) - what indication do we have that there is a new flagship drill on the horizon? (The 998 & 999 are only a couple years old, right?)
@@skygreen5939 I have nothing concrete to suggest a new drill is coming. The 999/998 are at least 3 years old I think and at the end of the day they are just redone versions of the 996. So I would hope something is on the way.
Bro I love that 996.... but I want this 999... but just can't justify it
It’s hard to justify upgrading drills in my opinion. It’s a pretty big investment and typically for most jobs the difference is minimal.
@@TinkerWithTools yes sir your right
Thank you. I love this vdo very much. I have dcd 999.
You should have tried the 996 with the larger flex-volt battery. Non-flex volt tools still get a power bump. Could have tried them both with the power stack as well. I think finding the perfect match for the tool and battery is important
You are right. It's a fair point.
Wasn't trying to be a jerk. 😁 I've just seen alot of how good is the battery videos. Obviously they make a difference, especially the larger AH, the 21700, and the stacked lithium.
I didn’t even take it that way at all so no worries I’ve done that comparison for different brands before (Milwaukee, Ridgid and even a power stack video) just didn’t do it in this video.
Just found this channel. Keep up the good work
Thanks!
The DCD997 has anti kickback, called «bind up control». This is the bluetooth model of the 996, so power wise it should be the same as that, but it also has customizable speed via buttons or mobile app. The bluetooth tools from dewalt are few, but just wanted to point this out.

Thanks for pointing this out. I looked for that model online and it seems to not be available everywhere right now. For example Home Depot doesn’t have it available. But that would make it like the one key version of the Gen 3 hammer drill which had such functions. Do you know then if the either the 998 or 999 can be controlled by the app? I don’t think they can and if not that seems like a big miss for DEWALT.
@@TinkerWithTools No I don’t think the newest models work with bluetooth, the ones that do seem to have the small blue «wifi» symbol on them on the bottom. Also the bluetooth batteries have a blue light on them too.
They made a bluetooth version of the previous compact xr as well, called dcd797 and 792 without hammer, but don’t think they did this with the 805 and 800 yet. Some of the european brands have had anti kickback for years, the bosch even has an angle function to assist you with putting in screws at the right angle.
I liked the big cat shirt
Got a new dewalt 10 inch chopsaw can it all day on a flexvolt battery easily well impressed with it
I have a small shop so the rail design on the DEWALT has never made it an option for me but I think they are great saws.
Great test!
My remaining questions are:
Flexvolt advantage vs Power detect
Can a Power detect drill get the same power boost from FA batteries?
Can a FA drill get the same power boost from 21700 (Power detect) batteries?
If I ever get my hands on one I’ll try to test it but I don’t have any plans to pay full price at the moment for a power detect.
And thats why you don't comment early lmao great job man
I was going to say…. Thanks for watching!
I'm still stuck on the cockeyed FA sticker 😂
I wish you would have used the same batteries 😕 😒
Can we pause and appreciate the cock-eyed FV Advantage logo? It must be off three degrees.....
are you referring to the logo on the battery or the tool
@@TinkerWithTools the logo on the tool, right at the start of the video. Wow, you replied in less than five minutes......
Okay, now I see what you are talking about. Yeah not their best application on that decal. You caught me right as I was looking at something on my computer so I quickly replied.
