Loving the puca shell neck lace and mustache! Looking good
lol. I thank you for viewing Green
Great video. I can honestly say thank you for the real review and unbiased opinion. This is huge for everyone considering purchasing the “upgraded” version. I would hate to spend $360 for a 5% increase of power which equates to fractional margins in time difference. The ROI in that would be 30 years. Especially because DeWalt and the packaging is boasting crazy a$$ claims of 45-52% more powerful and blah blah blah. I’ll take my 996 that I got for $172.00.
you are welcome and thank you Joshua.
Great review, I'm in total agreement, the 996 is an excellent value right now!!!
it is a great tool, so why upgrade it lol
Glad to see an honest review on it. They should make one that's actually a Flexvolt drill
They should it should be a 60v drill
20volt saws are very average. Buy a proper 60 flex volt saw with battery and charger combo, as they are beast and in most cases you can do well with 20 volt brushless tools for almost everything else, and yes the flex volt batteries are backwards compatible with 20volt tools. Don't get caught up with all the gimmicks, just stay 20volt and brushless for everything except the saw.
Love the puca shell necklace dude, thanks for the reviews 🙌🙌🙌
I thank you AMD
David dealing with the older guys & when I was selling Craftsman Tools, they were Fanatical about buying "Made In The USA" Craftsman tools. When they started outsourcing 20+ years ago, they all had a shitfit. Which I kinda understand, but younger people don't care as much where anything is made. If it was made outside the US, they wanted nothing to do with it. Only speaking from experience. Keep it up guy!
I thank you Bro. even the made in the USA with global materials really doesn't mean that it was actually made here. it really means assembled with global material
but even that,i think the best tools are made in germany .just see what tool is best and buy it
Yea all the vets I work with always fanboy craftsman. Except the marines they hate anything and everything 😂😂
You are the man...saved soooo much money watching your videos...keep up the great work...👍👍🙌🙌🙌🙌
That is why this channel is here
Love my power detect hammer drill and reciprocating saw
I respect The power Detect line big time
@@ManCaverTools power Detect?
I got the Power Detect hammer drill and grinder kits when they first came out and at that time they came witha a Free 8.0ah battery , right now at HD you can get a Free tool of your choice with the purchase of a Power Detect tool ....
Drills have become super powered!
Yes they have and I thank you pointed spider
That XR hammer/impact drills kit from Lowe’s is OP. Comes with the rapid charger and new 8 AH XR battery! 😯
very good, The power detect line is a powerful line
Yup I will stick with my power detect although I never use it because I love my Milwaukee tools but like you I just love buying tools
I would as well
Great video! There's a lot of good deals on the 996, I would stick to that until a deal comes out on the new one's
that's what I would get if I were you.. nothing wrong with the 996
Thanks... I am now going go buy this Dewalt kit...
Great comparison video I still would like to pick up a 996
it is a great drill
Thank you for this video, I found it extremely helpful!
Your chanel is now my favourite chanel on youtube am here since 1000 subscriber
I thank you for sticking around for so long Steve. it really means a lot to me
Thanks Dave. Good review.
I thank you Grand
This is my 2nd time watching this. The funny part about it is the FlexVolt Advantage is supposed to be even more powerful than the Power Detect , but in reality it's not much better than the dcd996. The good thing is right now the 996 is on sale at a steep discount, the kit with two 5ah batteries and charger is like $143 at some places and its usually around $299 , it is $179 near me , it's worth that just for the batteries alone. Anyway , I'm glad I went with the Power Detect, it's an excellent drill . BUT I would still love to see the Power Detect vs. FlexVolt Advantage , I can't wait for that one ....👍🛠🖖
there really isnt that big of a difference between the 996 and the advantage lol
@@ManCaverTools wow there is a difference flexvolt advantage 1276 UWO and power detect 1076 UWO
Amazing drill, I waiting for this in UK.
Well done sir! Thank you!
I thank you Travis
That charger is just as fast as the yellow fast charger. The only difference is the fan. I prefer the slow chargers because the slow trickle is better for the life of the battery. Thanks for the review!
I do thank you so much for viewing
Hi Dave! I would have to agree with you. And even though I ‘bleed Orange’ when I get a cut, 🤣 I would go with the ‘Power Detect’ myself. I believe DeWalt has just put some lipstick on the present tools, and made sure the electronics could handle extended runtime using a FlexVolt battery. I routinely use a FlexVolt battery on my little 20 Volt jobsite blower, with no ill effects. If I use it for an extended time, it starts to seem Hot? I also use the 9 amp hour FlexVolt battery in my little 20 volt DeWalt 7&1/4, sliding miter saw, since it is a stationary tool. It runs faster and better with that big battery, which just barely fits in the tool. Hanging a big old FlexVolt battery off a drill, especially an impact, is heavy and cumbersome, and frankly a bit silly! Just my two cents! Thanks Dave Stay safe and Healthy! Peace
I thank you for your feedback George and I also thank you for viewing
True, I killed a standard brushed reciprocating saw cutting a salt treated 6x6 with a 9amp flexvolt battery, think it got too hot with all that power and may have put too much pressure during the cut...not sure though. What ever the case it let the smoke out.
Love your channel always learn a bunch.. my question is on the flexvolt advantage drill along with the grinder.. do you have to use the flexvolt advantage battery to utilize the extra power. Or can you use any flexvolt battery. To get the same kind of power as a flexvolt advantage battery
Hey dave! So just watched this. Thanks for your honest opinion 👍. Save a lotta people's money. Not too sure what dewalt are playing at. Trying too make a quick buck from us! Thing is people's loyalty with a brand will start to waver if they they take the piss with people. After the 887,s smoking /burn out problems #VCG. can't believe they haven't had a upgrade.
Brilliant video as always sir. 👏👍
I thank you B13, they needed to upgrade that impact big time
I just bought it. Free router, free grinder, 6v battery, fast charger. Great deal for $400. Huge upgrade from DCD985 and DCF885.
Same, including router and grinder. Coming from the DCD796 that I got as part of a kit. DCD999 is a big "upgrade" for me.
The way I see it is that it was 4 tools for $400 not including batteries charger and bag.
Hmmm... interesting conclusions.... ummm.... I have to wonder if this review is from the point of view of “is it worth it to upgrade from the 996 combo?” Though... because if it’s approached from the point of view that “I don’t have the identical impact driver” and “I have no drill at all” or “the drill it’s replacing is 6 years old mid tier stuff” maybe the conclusion might be different? Maybe ? I don’t know... I think it performed well and the difference in the new battery was visible... but I love your testing techniques man... I think your advice definitely makes our buying choices a lot easier, well done.
this is only worth it if you don't already have the 996. if you don't have the 996 yet id get this set because it has the new 6ah flexvbolt advantage battery
Its totally worth it for people who dont have the 996. Ihave the 998 and its a beast got it for exactly $280 with a 887. Fast charger. And 2 n 8ah bats.
The flexvolt will go on sale for 300 on a few weeks
I agree, only if they don't have the 996 already
I upgraded to the dcd999 from the dcd985, definitely noticed a power difference between drilling through concrete and using hole saws. The dcd999 is way more powerful and was worth the upgrade for me, I'd say it's not worth upgrading if you already have a 996-998.
I agree with on that Bryan
Our 996 is rattling in first gear and won't engage. I don't know if anyone really makes a more powerful drill. Would love a dedicated 60 volt drill. And DeWalts 60v drill isn't really for drilling like we drill everyday. Too slow.
@Man Caver Tools you should start doing some fein vs videos, I'd like to see how they compare to some of the best you've showed us.
I can do that and i thank you Levi
I have the 996, using the 10ah battery, runs great, no need to update any time soon....
Great video and bring it back
I thank you for viewing Gino
These are really good reviews! I’m thinking about buying a cordless DeWalt drill on Black Friday
Black Friday sale will be a good one
i appreciate the honesty review man… i use the big bad mf 60v grinder, so i’m probably getting it mainly for the extra battery. from what i saw in the video, it’s advantageous at 270$… thankyou. i really enjoyed the video😁
Awesome stuff bro
I thank you MrMini
I think a few have figured it out. The product comes with a 6 amp. 998 is coming with an 8 amp. Would like to see if you put a 9 amp flexvolt battery on the 999 if your going to get 998 performance or greater. The product being released with the 6 amp battery is my guess on the performance issue.
Id do with the power detect
Totally agree, disappointing the included impact is the 887.
I thank you fastrice
@@ManCaverTools man it would be a great stage for DeWalt to put out a new flagship Impact Driver that Rivals the Milwaukee gen 3 fuel!
I think they will put it out as a stand-alone tool, or with battery, and charger to begin with... it's about time
I agree I'm ready for a new Dewalt Flagship Impact Driver..
BUT my DeWalt 887 Impact has been an absolute Workhorse for me!
Absolutely not one complaint and have never needed any more power than what the 887 offers with a 5 amp hour or the new compact 4 AH with 21700 cells..
Hey were those masonry bits you used on the concrete with the hammer dril? and if so what brand were they-Bosch? Thanks
I use bosch and Milwuakee masonry bits
Máquinas incríveis combo perfeito 👍 será que fica caro mandar para o Brasil? Pois aqui é caro D+
I thank you for viewing
thanks for the review but i did want to say I bought this kit as my very first impact and drill its very powerful I think dewalt made it for a starter kit like they did with the 996 and 887
Do you know if its confirmed that the new flexvolt batteries have 21700 cells in them? Trying to decide between Flexvolt advantage and power detect.
I just got this kit as my first drill for less than $300 and don't think I'm going to need anything else for a while.
The genius of marketing LOL, still have the same craftsman drill I bought 20 years ago works fine
Makita works finer
if the drill works then it is still is good :) and I thank you for viewing James
I have a drill from rigid that's lasted for almost 7 years now. Not bad at all
I just managed to get this kit for about $270 at my local homeless despot. $299 reduced price + 10% military discount. First cordless drill purchase in 20 some years and the first cordless impact ever (blame my battery anxiety on the old memory prone ni-cad packs of yore). Interestingly enough I got it not because of the new flexvolt batteries, but for dewalts normal 20v batteries. As they have much less control circuitry in the battery itself so you don't get drainage and weird dead battery issues that come along with having a full fledged battery management system in the pack, like in all the other brands I've looked at.
Makita is a good example where they look to have one of the best battery design and management systems for maximizing the batteries usable lifespan. But the BMS draws from only one cell. So long term storage ends up over draining that single cell and flagging the battery as dead. This isn't an issue with contractors that regularly use and recharge their batteries. But for a home DIYer that stores their batteries for long periods without any use, it seems the dewalt "dumb" 20v packs are best suited. They also seem to be relatively easy to open up and replace the cells. So you can just replace the individual cells as they go bad and avoid paying out the ass for entire new batteries.
not too shabby and I thank you for viewing Chahahc
I like how the 996 put the lag in the wood in 9.95 seconds 😎😁
these drills now a days a powerful
Would the "made in America "..." label change dewalts Quality assurance standards if they're made elsewhere? Ive heard someone else complain about not being made in America now im curious if its really a huge difference.
Which hex bolt adapter are you using in the video?
Realy good vid!
I thank you Gonzalo
is pressing the drill hard into the concrete using hammer function professional?
I do it fo the tests. I use over sized its on these tools to see what the tool can do. its a hardcore stress test
Dewalt makes a hell of a drill, but has trouble with impacts. I just sold my 996 and 887. I went with the M18 Surge and Hammer Drill (clearance deal $175). Also, thanks for spending your 💰 on this so we don’t have to.
Very good, going with milwuakee is a good choice as well and I thank you for viewing Dmcal
WOW , Where did you get that Deal on the M18 Surge Combo Kit ??
Brian F Home Depot. 2999-22CX on clearance for $210. Plus, they took a 20% off coupon from Harbor Freight. It was $178 w/tax. On top of that, I sold the batteries (2 & 5 ah) w/charger for $115 on Marketplace.
@@dmacl123 --- Your Home Depo takes Harbor Freight 20% off coupons ?? Was that the first time or do you do it all the time ??👍👍👍
Brian F not just mine. I am successful about 50% of the time. Plan B is the fake Lowe’s coupon. If they say no to HF I pull that out Lowe’s and get at least 10%.
I missed something. Is the "power detect" technology in the impact driver or is it in the battery? I checked Lowes' website and it doesn't offer a stand alone "power detect" battery. but it does offer several devices with "power detect" technology.
the batteries that come in the power detect are XR batteries with powerful 21700 cells in them
just a marketing gimmick. atomic, power detect, flexvolt advantage are just too many labels. dewalt should stick with xr, 12v and flexvolt and stop the rest of useless
Ill be adding the 999 to my line up since I dont have a hammer drill yet and home depot has the 999 as a solo kit (bag, battery and charger) for $279, no 887 included. I have the 791 compact drill and the 887 impact driver.
very good and I thank you for viewing Manolo
If you didn't buy yet, it went on sale yesterday minus the bag.

Why can’t I get the 999 and use the 998 power detect battery? Wouldn’t that work? I got the HD 999 kit because of their sale, that included 2 other tools free. Lows didn’t have that good of deal.
the metal clinking sounded like your intro music at one point, the new flexvolt hammerdrill has one advantage and that's you're not just limited to flexvolt you could use a 20v
Yes sir. their are benefits for that
Yes , but I also figured if I'm going to spend money on the FlexVolt batteries I might as well just go with the 60v FlexVolt Tools and get all the Power , right... 👍🛠🖖
So do you think its safe to assume that the 998(Lowes lol) will perform like the 996/999 did with the Flex Volt 21700 cells? Seems like alot of redundancy just to keep looking as if theyre rolling out new products.
I thank the Power Detect will win over this
I own the Power Detect and its Definitely a upgrade from the dcd996, and the new 8.0ah & 6.0ah batteries do have the 21700 cells in them. It's weird but all the videos I've watched before I bought my P.D. hammer drill , the drill actually had Less power when they used a FlexVolt battery on it , it got the most power from the 8.0ah battery that came with it and the other thing is the RunTime with the new 8.0ah batteries is incredible....👍🛠🖖
Apparently this is a rebadged product with one small chip upgrade and now both HD and Lowe's has their "own" stock number to sell "exclusively", but DeWalt gets the last laugh with sales.
Yes Dewalt does lol and good point
Just got the flex advantage combo last night at Home Depot $299
very good. its a good kit if your not upgrading from the 996
So what's the best dewalt hammer drill and impact/ combo kit out there right now. I have milwaukee makita and Ryobi hammer drills and impacts but no dewalt. I'd like some feedback on what to purchase
the dewalt Power detect is the most powerful hammer dill I have tested
@@ManCaverTools which battery is the most efficient for that one
Boss, make unboxing about metabo hammer drill driver let us see the torque power what it does. Thanks
I will be getting Metabo soon and I thank you for viewing Reginald
The DCF887 you just got didn’t have a built in America sticker on it.
not all 887 impact are assembled in America. they only do that for certain kits. most Dewalt tools are from china
The ones built in America apparently have some issues. You want the ones built in Mexico.
Good job. Is the Flexvolt with the 999 a new version of battery? FYI, for the 2020 holidays, Home Depot has a limited supply endcap special of 999 (tool, handle and belt clip only) for $179 with a FREE 6 amp charger and Flexvolt battery ($179 value). No bag, but for around $10-12, grab a Husky bag.
I already filmed that and thank you Larry :)
Is there a power detect impact drill driver ? Or are we pretty much stuck with the dc887 as the top of the line dewalt impact driver ?
the power detect is the most powerful hammer I tested
@@ManCaverTools thanks for your response , but I was asking about a dewalt impact drill . Is the dc887 the top of the line impact driver ? Thanks in advance
My question is, if I don't own either drill should I buy the dcd996 not really sure of the price it cost or should I get the dcd999. I can get the dcd999 with a new 6ah battery, charger and bag for $299 without the DCF887
I will add the DCD996 is nicer looking tool when it comes to design, I find the yellow clutch looks cheap on the DCD999.
Also consider the DCD998 power detect w/8AH battery/charger/bag at (Lowes for $279). Looks as though the real differences might only be the batteries.
Id go for the new kit if you don't already have the 996
The power detect you are referring to, is it the 998. Just wanting to be sure
I believe they discontinued the yellow “Fast Charger” on the kits due to the fact that it can only charge the 20V. Also I believe they have another new charger with a higher amperage. I USED to have the 998 with the “Power Detect” with the 8 AH battery. I had it only for 2 days. Couldn’t compete with the Milwaukee M18. Plus the 998 is sooooooooo huge..👍
Lol, the 998 trashed the m18 on this very channel.
Yeah you’re right...but it way much bigger than the Milwaukee...👍
The 998 is big, and I thank you for viewing Delsaures
@@ManCaverTools The big DeWalt won’t run as hot as the Gen 3 drill. I talked to the Tecnical department at Milwaukee, as I sent in my Gen3 Hammer Drill, ( not for that reason ) and could NOT get any satisfactory answer. Milwaukee’s E- service is great, try them out fellas! It’s just they are not as up front as they should be. Heck, most of the Tool companies aren’t either 😂 Milwaukee messed up my fairly new drill, from the servicing of it, and ended up sending me back a brand new one, bare tool, in the factory box. That is the one thing I can say for Milwaukee for sure! Makita service is alright, as long as you use their ‘Jorsey’ facility! My M18 drill had the annoying ‘switch lock up’ issue, on Fwd/Rev. and the chuck was messed up. DeWalt service, ain’t what it used to be. Peace!
@@delosaurasrex732 lol m18 is shit doesnt even compare to the 996 let alone 998
It seems like all the kits have the dcf887 I have 2 of them as well
I don't know why, upgrade that impact already lol
Hi Dave,
I will stick to my Hilti gen2 SF6H A22, SID 4 and Te6 A22. I haven't been in work since March 16th but went in last week to pick up my SF6H and Te6 to do work outside as I am on Furlough but pay stops for me at the end of Oct. Its so great to have my Hilti gear back 😃😃 and after 7 months of just sitting there all 4 batteries are still showing fully charged!! I so love Hilti!!!!
Stay safe Sir!!
Dave from England.
very good and I thank you for viewing Dave :)
Who makes the best concrete bits for the half inch hammer.
ive been using Bosch and Milwuakee so far. I need to get some HILTI bits. I cant tests enough bits to say just yet, but stay tuned
Hilti, no doubt
I was using dcd796 for 5 years. Today I have upgraded to dcd999. Worth the upgrade.
I am guessing this is the newly posted DCK2100D1T1 Kit on HD website? Seemed alright for the price and the charger, Flexvolt battery, bag and DCD999B tool is $279 and you get the Impact Driver and 2Ah battery for only $90 more, but yes maybe a Flexvolt version Impact Driver tool and 2 batteries for like $399 would be the best.
if you were to get this id just get the drill and battery
What socket adapter is that everyone I buy breaks
they all break :(
I was thinking about trading in my power detect for it..... (just the drill.)
Id get the Power Detect if I were you
Does the new one have a XR motor
Its not an XR so I think its a different one
XR= brushless
What do you do with extra impact drivers that you have?
Im selling them on eBay
@@ManCaverTools do you have any circular saws for sale and whats your name on ebay..thank you
Every video I see of this guy he’s dogging Dewalt tools. I’ve owned dewalt battery powered tools for 8 years and I’ve always had great performance out of them and I’ve worked construction and most of the people I see on the job sites here use dewalt. So obviously they must be doing something right. A buddy of mine is a Milwaukee guy and I’ve used his Milwaukee fuel impact driver and I still prefer my 887 to his fuel. 887 is much much better balanced and more comfortable.
im just saying in this video get the power detect and not the Flexvolt advantage
Is it true power detect suffers from smaller batteries, I’m sure it’s perfect on an 8 amp hour and up battery but if your using a 1.5- 3 amp hour battery to keep down on weight does that make the flex advantage better at that point?
You should watch more of his videos before you make assumptions.
czcams.com/video/MT2ZJ3_HGfo/video.html
I’m surprised he dogs dewalt tools when he absolutely adores the majority of his god-awful ryobi tools.
@@ManCaverTools PD gets kinda heavy when it only grabs more power from 8ah battery... Without using the 8ah battery it's really no better than the 996 drill. Most of the time most people won't need an 8ah battery all day.
Does the 999 take advantage of the full 60 volts ?
I thank you for viewing :)
im kinda bummed the new ryobi impact drills dont have a magnet tray
I am as well, and I thank you for viewing Michael

To me I would just use the new battery for the 996 With the new cells in it 👍🏾
very good and I thank you for viewing Adrian
I just saw this and while I appreciate your videos, when it comes to DeWalt I wish you (or someone) would just go through the confusing lines of tools they have. Just pick one tool - Drill-Driver and go through the differences between XR / Power Detect XR / Atomic / 20 Volt Max (non-XR) / 20 Volt Compact / Brushless and also the batteries, 20 Volt / 20 Volt XR / Flex Volt.
So many tool reviewers when it comes to DeWalt are all hyperbole, over-the-top “power” reviews, but not giving the consumer a calm and really informative insight to all of this. I know other tool brands have also have different lines, but DeWalt (to me) is the most confusing, sort of like comparing mattresses from one brand because (as you pointed out), often the is a specific model of feature only sold at Lowe’s vs Home Depot vs Amazon.... etc. Also being they are the most “go to” brand that folks look at and compare to.
That would be very helpful! Much thanks!
I did make a video on that already, The flexvolt vs XR vs atomic. you should check it out and I thank you for viewing Eat
Dcd996p2 was $143 which was fantastic
very good and I thank you for viewing
What is a flexvolt. I thought it sounded like a battery that could work in their 12v line too.
It is a 20 volt that can Electronically switch to 60v
a battery that works for both of dewalts 20v and 60v tools
Do a flexvolt advantage vs power detect
will do and I thank you Sir
Workshop addict did it... flex volt advantage better overall surprisingly, not by much tho. Higher UWO 1218
Did you hear about the new 12 amp charger dcb1112
I have not but I will check that out and thank you Steven
So not to sound dumb here but I have tried doing research on the DeWalt and there evolution of batteries. I bought my first drill/driver and impact driver two years ago. As an individual who doesn't use power tools on the daily I got entry level tools. At the time I got Makita as they seemed to preform better on the entry level than the rest of the major brands at the time of purchase. Anyway, I'm selling them as Makita is harder to find at local stores than DeWalt and some other brands. Also I don't like having multiple brands of battery power tools that I have to keep track of multiple batteries for and Makita's bundles don't impress me very much. Who needs a vacuum and a clunky light? So I went out and got a DeWalt set from a certain orange home improvement big box store that I can expand upon at a later time....
So to my point as this flexvolt stuff is new to me. I see in your video you have what I'm assuming to be an older version and a new version of DeWalts hammer drill at this time late in 2020. So as I think you made your point here the battery really is the big difference. So to that end I do have 2 flexvolt tools a circ saw and an angle grinder. With that being said, is it worth the money to invest in 1 or 2 flexvolt batteries? If so what Ah size do you recommend since they offer a range? I'm not worried about bulking up the tool with a bigger battery either. I plan on using the circ saw quite a bit 2x & OSB stuff like that it's the DCS573 7.25". I would absolutely appreciate your input or anyone else's for that matter.
Dewalt is the one brand that the 2ah battery will outperform the other 2ah batteries from other brands. check out this videoczcams.com/video/ABTuTCA65h4/video.html
Thanks for the reply, I haven't even given much thought to the Ah size until I watched that video. I assumed that the bigger the battery the longer I could use it for my tasks. But that puts things into perspective a bit more! I might buy that kit with the 999 for my dad to upgrade him from the age of NiCad or whatever the used before lithium batteries. Thanks again!
The 999 is just as good as the Lowe’s 998. It’s the battery that might be lacking. Throw the new powerstack on the 999, and there you go
You used the 21700 for both drills. You should have used the new battery mainly for the new drill. I’m not making my mind up till you put the advantage vs the power detect. To me it seems like the advantage definitely has an advantage paired with the battery it comes with. Hell even the 9.0 ah would even be better with the advantage
more tests are coming up. and I thank you Holden
Man Caver Tools no problem! Great work as always
I’m 99% sure the Flexvolt Advantage line is LITERALLY the same as Power Detect. It’s just the Home Depot Version.
I'm thinking the same exact thing..
no, Ive just uploaded flexvolt advantage vs HILTI and the HILTI won. the Power Detect beat the HILTI in almost every test. the Flexvolt advantage only won the test parts of the test against the hilti. check out the video
@@ManCaverTools dam well that sucks. Initially I really thought the Flexvolt advantage tools became “60 Volt” tools once you slapped a Flexvolt battery on them. But they are apparently 20v tools that just receive more power from the flex batteries.
They are legitimately the same drill. Just one is sold at Lowe's and one is sold at home depot.
This was confirmed by a rep at world of concrete
My DCD998 power detect almost knock my teeth out when I was drilling on top of a peanut bin lol so I think thats powerful enough
The power Detect is a beast
I don't know about where you are, but the new DCK2100P2 kit in Canada is quite a better deal than the old DCK299P2 kit. You get the new Flexvolt advantage drill and you get a fast DCB118 charger. And the kit is up to $40 less than the old one! It's a no brainer.
I bought this before it came out, the price might have dropped since then
very good video
I thank you sir
The Power Detect vs. FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE , now thats the video to do baby .... I have the P.D. and its Awesome and the PD is a better deal because most of the F.A. tools are $199.00 for a bare tool and the PD is $279.00 for the kit with a 8.0ah battery , charger and a bag .....👍🛠🖖
I can do that video soon and I thank you for the suggestion Brian
dewalt needs to make a power detect and flexvolt advantage impact driver it could be more compact and more powerful and with the rumor of milwaukee gen 4 dewalt needs to get at it
I agree, upgrade that impact already is what I say
Yeah, I never even bought the 887/888. Just got a 890 and a hex adapter, and a 12V impact driver for when it needs to be super compact. Can't justify not waiting for an update, because so many have surpassed it. Kobalt, Ridgid, Milwaukee, etc all have faster and more powerful models that don't burn up lol
Wassup I didn’t watch it yet but I know it’s gonna be good
Yes it was lol
Fast on the new stuff
I try to be lol
That new 6 didn’t look any different in size to the old 6. According to that, it can’t have 21700 cells. I’m gonna bet if you put a 9 on there (that does have 21700 cells) that it performs like the power detect. The show you just did looks like the difference between my 996 & 998 with 5’s. A difference, but not huge. But as soon as you throw 8’s on, game on. By the way, I’m fully invested in power detect. As soon as I tried that grinder, I bought 3, and 2 drills. Picked up the circ and recip when they were giving an extra 8 for free aswell. Don’t know that a guy really needs any more power than a 996, but it does make tough tasks go smoother. The 996’s are still great and plenty of power for most people. I just bought 3 more 996’s on clearance the other day.
Can’t wait to see showdowns of the flex adv vs the power detect, with true And verified 21700 cell batteries.
👍I also jumped on the Power Detect Grinder when they started to give out the Free 8.0ah battery , Great Deal....👍🛠🖖
looks like I might have to open up the battery
The 9ah batteries are 21700 but the 6ah even the new color scheme is still 18650. Just place a 6ah flex battery bottom to bottom with the 9ah and not only is the 9 longer since it has more cells but it’s wider where they use the longer 21700 cells.
I bet if you put the 8ah power detect battery in it, it’ll have the same power. I suspect these to just be a rebrand for Home Depot
we will have too see
I think they got their numbers Screwed up and the Power Detect is the most powerful one ....👍
power Detect?
No sir, but I suggest you get the power detect
Use a steel bit on the 4x6
