Review of the recently released DeWalt 12v Max Xtreme Brushless Cordless 5-in-1 Drill/Driver Kit. This is DeWalt's answer to the popular Milwaukee Installation Drill Driver and other competitors from Bosch and Festool. Is the response worth your time though?

Loved your review! Looking to get one for a brother in law for Christmas present in Florida I know you have the 12 volt Milwaukee installation driver. While I have some Milwaukee 12 volt tools, I went ahead and got the Bosch 12 volt kit at Lowes, was on sale $159 with 2 2.0ah batteries. The fit and feel of the unit, with 2 batteries, nicer directional switch, lockable accessories won me over. Much better than the older brushed unit. Tis the season, give me a reason to buy another tool, 😁 keep ‘‘em coming!

Milwaukee did make a 12v Fuel brushless multi drill M12 FPDX with the forward and reverse switch where we like it above the trigger, two speed 450rpm and 1700rpm, hammer action, 3 attachments, offset 90 degree and chuck, I have two. They also make a brushed version so that would be 3 different multi or installation drill drivers

@TinkerWithTools 2 жыл бұрын

I have seen this offered in Europe. Unfortunately the drill tool only is only available through eBay for me and it would be almost $100 more than a full kit just for the tool body only plus a single chuck. Hopefully a gen 2 can bring this to my market too.

@ThreeMinuteHeat 2 жыл бұрын

Is the Dewalt better or the Milwaukee FPDX ? I am debating between both. Milwaukee has hammer feature

@TinkerWithTools 2 жыл бұрын

I haven’t had a chance to try to the FPDX but if it’s similar to the current generation of M12 stuff then they are similar. The hammer feature is nice but it’s more made for lighter duty stuff.

Very good review. But you forgot the Metabo Powermaxx BS 12 BL Q. It's since 2014 available. You will also find from Mafell, because Metabo produce Drill Driver for them. It is also available (I guess since 2019) with a sliding battery. The good thing on the Metabo is, you can use it with the Festool Centrotec and the chucks and attachment from the big Brother: Metabo BS 18 LTX BL Q And last but not least, you can charge the Metabo 12V and 18V sliding battery with the same charger. Thanks for your work and your review. I liked it. Espacially the history part :-)

@TinkerWithTools 2 жыл бұрын

I have considered getting that Metabo a time or two but I believe it’s a brushed motor. That has been the main deterrent. Thanks for the comment and info.

I have the Bosch, Milwaukee and this one. The multi head drivers are my mini addiction, lol (impact drivers are my main). Definitely like the dewalt the best for comfort. I actually like the Bosch grip over the Milwaukee too. The Bosch and Milwaukee are the same except reversed, with the Bosch having the fatter part of the handle towards the front and Milwaukee towards the back. Small difference, but huge as far as comfort. The handle and the knuckle guard are the only thing I don’t like about the Milwaukee. Bosch also has an 18v version with an sds attachment, lol. Milwaukee had a patent for an 18v version as well. Metabo (not HPT) has a 12v version as well

@TinkerWithTools 2 жыл бұрын

I have been tempted by the 18v Bosch version but have never jumped on it. If they had it in store at lowes it might be a different story. I always act more impulsively at the store than online.

@iloveknives75 2 жыл бұрын

@@TinkerWithTools I’m the exact opposite, lol. I’m disciplined in store, but a sucker for an online sale 😬. In general I have a 50%-free rule. If I can get half off to free, I’ll jump on it. Thanks to KZfaq tool deal channels I probably have $6000 worth of gear I payed about $1500 for. Basically was able to get top tier Milwaukee and dewalt gear at ryobi prices, lol

I have the older brushed version of the Bosch. Also have a couple M12 tools. The Bosch grip is noticeably more comfortable. Also, the electronic forward/reverse switch on the Milwaukee is a no-go for me, especially with where they placed it. Most of what I have is Dewalt 20v. Would love if they made this in the atomic line. Paired with a powerstack battery would be perfect.

@TinkerWithTools 2 жыл бұрын

It would make an incredible atomic tool. Honestly the newer atomic impact driver paired with the powerstack really aren't that much larger than a 12v tool with a larger battery. But the power difference is remarkable.

Nice video. They advertise it can use up to a 1/2" spade bit. Do you think it could handle a 3/4" spade?

@TinkerWithTools 2 жыл бұрын

I used a 1 1/2" hole saw with the Milwaukee version of this tool one time in pinch and it didn't love it but it did get the job done. The DeWalt seemed to be more powerful so I would guess you could do it in a pinch. I'll try it out next time I get a chance and maybe make a short about it.

why not 20v? now i have to carry two different charger for my other 20vs

@TinkerWithTools Жыл бұрын

I do wish that there would be tools like this in the 18/20v category. Currently Bosch has one that I have also tested on the channel, but I can say that I would choose to 12v varieties more for the size and weight savings. For what's its worth, the DeWalt 12v can be charged on the 20v charger.

There is a single LED down on the base by the battery. It isnt as effective as it would be up by the chuck but given the interchangeable heads I think it was the only option.

If I could explain about anything with tools right now it's the lack of tool only on newer tools especially. I can understand why they do it to try and maximize what people will spend but for someone like you or I it almost acts like a deterrent to buying the tool. I'm that way right now with a new impact from Metabo HPT... I have 4 batteries already and don't really want more.

DeWalt doesn’t quote torque figures on the drilling tools, instead using unit watts out(UWO). I would say it’s so where close to 300 inch pounds. The UWO is at 255.
