Very nicely done sir 👍👍💪💪 strong test Thanks for your time and effort to help us all Rodney
I thank you Rodney
That is why I keep all my old school batterie stuff.that start stop stuff is a pain, I get it.But that’s also why they’re able to warrantee the tools as long as they do.
The best test, I thank you sir 👍✌️
I thank you Makita
What happened to comparing the atomic line as well? I am thinking about getting that one over the larger drills
Another GOOD video Dave! You’re a Beast lately with your Videos! Huge thumbs up, despite your hang up with chuck tightening! 🤔🙄😳😁🤗 The question comes down to Power Detect, vs Flex Advantage, and if you want to lug around a drill with that huge arse FlexVolt battery or not?!? Kudos for doing this video with different batteries on different tools. BTW, I LOVE Love the XR 6.0 battery. The Power Detect works with both the XR 6.0 and 8.0, so more versatility there. The reason for the power advantage of the FlexVolt, pertains to the three banks of cells. The FV battery can handle higher Amp draw. Look for the three silver strips running across the battery, that denotes 21700 cells used. The FV Advantage 999 looks a bit nicer, but I will be going to pick up a Power Detect drill kit, with free power planer, from my local Lowe’s tomorrow. $279.00. Nuff said? YEP! 😁😁😁
Stay safe, warm, and Healthy! Happy and blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours! 👍😁🇺🇸
I thank you George, more power detect will be coming to the channel
Ok sorry I'm not schooled on the batteries as of lately, I'm just only learning. This video is at least a year old.....I just bought the big dewalt impact wrench. It only came with one 4ah battery. Will the 8 ah battery work with my tool and also will the charger that came with my 899 charge that 8 ah battery. Also I bought a bosch drill driver...no hammer drill ...anyways it's an 18 volt that came with 2 2ah batteries. That was about 6 years ago, so now I see bosch has an 18 volt 8 ah battery and I'm wondering will that work in my tool and will my old charger charge t g e new battery, or do I need to buy the new charger as well. Thankyou for all the cool videos you put out stay safe and God bless you!
Hi, I like your videos they are very helpful for my Job and at the moment to buy tools but I have a question for you.
If I buy a Dewalt 20v XR 6ah is going to be more powerful and long lasting compared with a 20v XR 5ah?
I work with siding and we use handsaw, drills and more so that’s why my question.
Thanks
You will get 100 more watt hours per charge
Thanks for the research man...surinam, south america does not have ig stores like hd or lowes...so I need the feedback to know exactly what the tool os capable off....respect and thank you 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
you are welcome and I thank you Dani
At 3:04, there’s a mat on your workbench- where can I get that??
I didn’t see a link in the description & have searched, can’t find it anywhere.
Thanks for the great demo!!
👍🏼👍🏼
I'm one of your fans from Indonesia. Thank you so much for the test. But i have question, is it okay if DCD796D2 using flexvolt battery ?
I thank you for viewing :)
Cool, how about you put a 12 amp hour flex volt on the 1/2 and 3/4 hi torque impacts and see how they work on Semi Truck Lug Nuts.🙂
I need to get the12ah for Milwaukee and dewalt
So if i have a flex volt tool can I still use my old dewalt 20 volt batteries?
You probably know it but I'll say it anyways, nice tests, but with the new drills whenever they fail like the 999 did with that speed boat, it was because of the safety feature, if you're drilling straight then lean it to the side on accident or purpose enough it'll shut it off so wrists don't get hurt
Spade bit I mean
You are correct Sir!
I think the safest activates too soon sometimes
@@ManCaverTools it does, but it's better to be safer than sorry, the 998 and 999 have too much torque to go unchecked like that, unlike the 996, those two will dish out real damage If that safety feature wasn't there, and I've gotten hurt with the 996 some time ago and it sucked.
So what about different model drills seems like they have safeties to shut off so they arent over worked, my 2014 impact and hammer drill will break my wrist before they shut off with 4ah batteries
the safety is set to what the cmopany thinks the tool can do. the more powerful the tool the later the safety will switch on.
What is that Ryobi blower? I csnt find it anywhere.
I would be interesting if they made a flexvolt advantage impact maybe it would be able to keep up with the Milwaukee just a thought
im hoping they do. they need to include more tools to both power detect and flexvolt advantage
Milwaukee is behind seeing red tail lights of the Dewalt
Good vedio, but you should add the clip of who won once edited. Otherwise, i didn't get my question answered. Which battery is better?
So the flexvolt basically is the best all around, even drilling masonry??
I think power detect is the best
Is it safe to run flex volt with XR drills?
I think the new sticker 6ah FV is still 18650 cells; the 9ah got fitted with 21700s
You would be correct Sir! 👍😁🇺🇸
that is what I should do
I will crack open the battery
Buy the new 20v 6ah, they have 21700s amd run great
Hi, thank you for great videos. One thing, FELXVOLT 6AH still 18650 not 21700 but new look. The real difference between the XR 6ah and the FLEXVOLT 6ah is the number of cells in them. XR 6ah is 21700 x 10pcs, FLEXVOLT 6AH is 18650 X 15pcs. The only 9 and 12ah FLEXVOLT has 21700 in them. This is what DEWALT USA confirmed. By the ways, can you test DCD703F? it has problem on it's trigger but DEWALT just ignore it.
What does pcs mean?
@@AJDBroski pcs means pieces. Number of cells.
Trying to decide whether the xr 6.0 battery is worth 20 bucks over the xr 5.0. Any opinions? I know the 6.0 has 21 700 cells over 18 650s in the 5.0 but is it worth the extra cost?
I Thank you so much for viewing :)
How can you tell the difference between the two flex volt batteries? Especially if I wanted to buy them from a buddy or something?
Hi Bastion! Look for the three little silver strips, on the top of the battery, on each side, near the slide rails. This denotes 21700 cells. That is according to my source at DeWalt! BTW, the FlexVolt battery used here still has the 18660 cells. The XR 6.0 Dave used is a real gem. I LOVE this battery, and yes, it has 21700 cells. Peace
I will be opening up the battery to see
Hi, now that you know that flexvolt 6ah has 18650 cells can you put that info in description or pinned comment maybe? Thanks!
How does the detent pin on the flexvolt work?
they don't make flexvolt impact wrench
Dave, are you certain about the difference between the yellow and grey Flexvolt 6ah? They look to be the same size. I asked Dewalt and they told me it was just a paint job, same guts. I got the grinder deal at HD and they only had the grey one in the kit, but yellow in the displays and ads.
The cells are different. It’s the same physical capacity. But they have a greater discharge rate.
Its just a new Sticker ....
Look on the top of the battery, where it attaches to the tool, and if you see three little silver ‘bars’ on each side, it should have 21700 cells in it. This is from my source at DeWalt. Peace!
I was told by many sources that it has 21700 cells inside.
The model numbers are the same. Just a different paint job. Not sure why he thinks it's different inside if he can't provide proof.
I wanted to see the 20v 6amp with 21700 vs 60v with 18650 cells no one has done it yet
So Xr is power detect?
nice video!
I thank you Dominic
Once again great video...👍..how about the Flexvolt Battery vs. Milwaukee’s High Output Batteries...999 vs. Milwaukee’s M18 Gen 3..🤔🤔
The Power Detect dcd998 hammer drill already beat the M18 Fuel hammer drill , so I would think the FlexVolt Advantage will beat it also , but I'd like to see it again , and again, and again......😜😂🤣🤭👍👍👍
@@brianf9619 NO doubt...but will be nice to see the big drill vs the small powerful drill...👍👍
more tests will be coming
Great test! Very interesting
I thank you Toolhead
Do flexvolt vs power detect
I know the drill you wanted to use for this video is the dcd791 you gave to your father in-law, but the dcf887 might not be a drill driver but should take its place fine for these tests
very good and thank you Kristian
Is that XR not 60v though??
I think this new 6ah battery still use 18650 cells.This new battery was samller than 9ah and 12ah version. As i know 21700 cell didn't have 2ah version.
I think you are right. That explains why the Flexvolt pack is shorter and narrower than the regular 6.0 pack.
@@jps101574 that is correct!
I was told by many sources that it has 21700 cells in it.
@@ManCaverTools open it up only way to know for sure! There is all kind of bs on the web about 18650 vs 21700 batteries in various Tool brands.
Hey love your videos
It did it, it dit it ;)
Just to be sure I opened my new yellow 6ah flex volt, and it contains 18650 cells.
Got the 999 and I love it.
Yeah , it's just a new sticker , lol ...🤣😂😜🤭
I thank you for viewing
Where does 'it show the cells?
How do you get all of your tools
lol DEBT, the channel is paying for it
Can you use the standard xr battery on a flexvolt tool?
@Gatorman10 Not on the original flexvolt tools. But you can now with the new flexvolt advantage tools at Home Depot or the power detect tools at Lowe’s.
@@campbell3897 thanks. I didnt realize there were flexvolt advantage and just flexvolt.
No.
Also to clarify:
FlexVolt tools bare 60v
Flexvolt advantage tools are 20v.
FlexVolt tools are significantly more powerful than FlexVolt advantage tools.
@@juanc5149 Agree! Exactly why I chose to stay with 2 lines: XR and Flexvolt 60v. I reach for the power when I need it at max. @WorkshopAddict did a great review that made my decision. He showed the original Flexvolt bare 60v kicking the Flexvolt Advantage out of the water.
I don't think they do fit in the regular flexvolt tools
best tests 100% go ryoby
I thank you for viewing Snoopy :)
Great Video David! I got into DeWalt this year (as a seller) & it's a lot to learn! All the different batteries for every brand. Still don't like the feel of DeWalt, they just feel like kids toys in the hand with all the plastic, but that's not what counts on the inside. I know, I know... I will get haters on this comment! Lol Oh well. Keep it up!
I agree with you on that. can beat those deals. that is why I go them :)
Power detect drill vs FlexVolt advantage drill?
You mean power detect
that video will be coming in the future
How come you never tested mastercraft or maximum drill/impact yet?
I need to get more brands and I will in the future
They have had an updated version of the impact it's the dcf888
I know, but its not that much more of an update on it. I mean, they really need to update the tool. to the the most powerful one on the market
It’s not an update, but just a addition. The dcf 888 is just a 887 with tool connect capabilities.
@@juanc5149 the 888 has more tork
Would be nice next time to post the test and the stats all at the end.
Not much difference for the price, theres a clear winner when one is 50% more.
I would say the all very similar I can’t risk my money to buy flexvorte
I agree, if you dont need to spend the money then you shouldn't. which is what these videos are for.
I like the dcd999, but the dcd996 is the much the same drill, I feel that anyone with a dcd996 could use this video to determine which battery is better for them. I honestly didn't see much difference in performance across the different batteries, people also need to understand that the 60v battery on a xr 20v drill isn't going to turn it into a 60v drill. The 21700 batters preformed about the same. I do hope to see someday that DeWalt releases a 60v hammer drill. I know they have the 60v mixing drill. But it's a bit big for most drilling taks
we will see what happens. I want a 60v hammer drill as well
@@ManCaverTools I'm sure it would be a beast of a drill if DeWalt did make it happen
The question is, whether the motor used in the 60V version is the same as the 20V XR version, and the capacities between a 20V XR and 60V flexvolt. Can you do a tear down?
Upvote. Also on the hammer drills. I have the DCD999 and I just noticed that the 996 has both XR and non versions. What is the actual diff between these and the 998 as well?
Gonna start small
( grabs 3/4 bit )
I’m not sure any of these 2 batteries are actually 21700 cells, the new 8ah 20v is the same size as that 6ah . Just like the new compact 4 ah is the same size as the previous 3ah compact . Pretty sure 4 and 8 ah are 21700 and 3 , 6 ah are older technology unfortunately.?
The 3.0 and 6.0 XR packs definitely use 3.0 Ah 21700 cells. The 4.0 and 8.0 XR packs use 4.0 Ah 21700 cells for a 33% more run time. Same power output. Same technology.
@@jps101574 whoa jps101574! You know your stuff! Kudos, you’re right on the money with this! Peace!
I will open it up to find out.
“Right here is good button”🔴
The test against Milwaukee we all know how that’s going to turn out another win for big red
Big Red already lost against the power detect on this very channel.
So far the top three are:
1. DeWalt.
2. Hilti
3. Milwaukee.
It lost pretty badly, it was a stomp for DeWalt.
@@juanc5149 I missed that video. I'm sure all three brands are good but knowing that makes me feel even better about going Dewalt.
The Power Detect also beat big red on the VCG channel ....👍👍🤭
@@brianf9619 That had to hurt lol they're definitely not fans of Dewalt.
If I test with hammer drills, the Dewalt will destroy Milwaukee
Не заметил особой разницы между XR и Flexvolt так что нет смысла переплачивать))
I thank you for viewing
Where do I go in the video to hear the results... painful to watch all
Drill go brrrr
lol
The one click backwards is not a lock that is a myth
Workshop Addict has done Power Detect vs Flexvolt Advantage, and the Flexvolt beat it.
Do a Flexvolt Advantage vs Power Detect and see for yourself.
That Advantage is powerful as all hell with a 9ah on it. I don’t think red wonder hammerdrill stands a chance.
100% agree I own both and the 999 is a beast I don't think no 18-24 volt can compete at this time. And you need the flexvolt batteries with the 2170 cells for max performance
You obviously did see Workshop Addicts 2nd video on PD vs. FVAD , were he said he was Wrong , the PD with 8.0ah is more powerful than FVAD ... go check it out....
@@brianf9619 You are correct Sir! Funny you should have same name as Brian of WorkShopAddict!
Wrong! See his follow up video! Peace
@@georgedavall9449 FVAD, also had an advantage with a 5ah battery. So I’m not wrong, you sure you watched his videos?
Мужик, в новых 6ач батарейках так же стоят элементы 18650. В этом весь смысл 6-и амперной батареи - она легкая. Не понятно только, почему нет батарей в таком же корпусе на 9ач ... или хотя бы на 7,5.
Epic fail :)))
I thank you for viewing Bob
👍👍👍👍👍🔋
Hey 👋
Hey Rayshon
I'd like to see the winner of the DeWalts vs Kobalt XTR
Thats a stomp, DeWalt wins.
@@juanc5149 I'll take bets on that... especially since I KNOW the outcome
My power detect drill with the 8 ah battery vs your XTR. Loser has to give up their drill. Especially since the XTR had a hard time with the ridgid. I’m in Vegas or Yuma come on through. Well even tape it.
@@juanc5149 I don't own an XTR. I'm smarter than that. I've seen it go head to head with DeWalt. XTR doesn't have 8 ah batteries, so how is that a fair battle? Also; there are already videos of the XTR going head to head with other drivers. In fact: I think it beat the Milwaukee on VCGs channel.
@@juanc5149 And DeWalts smoke. They don't handle stress tests well.
Lol someone needs to make a heavy duty adapter.
100%
Where can I buy 996 for 199$ with free tool?
the 996 isnt apart of the free tools
I just got the 996 bare tool for 129 at lowes
WOW > ?
I thank you for viewing Minh
Pausing gives the drill a break…..:/
Is just me or this guy think that impact is tq gun ?
no sir. but I love putting these tools to the extreme test
6amp flexvolt has 18650 cells
Bro on the lag bolt first test you said it was on speed 3 but when the bolt went sank all the way it was on speed 1!! Sorry but not a proper test...
The way that dewalt sells tools is perfect market... like a drug dealer, once that you buy, you need another battery a higher dose an then you need another... tool ..plus a higher battery and then they break back to to start or start a NEW DEAlER ..lol buy makita or red
No idea what you are doing. Are you testing batteries or testing drills or what? You might be trying to do too much.
its both, testing out the batteries in these specific tools
🍗🦃☕☕☕☕☕🍗🦃
thank you for the coffee Konaman
What battery lasted the longest on a charge
that I do not know, that would make a good test :)
