I was just comparing this one with Black &amp; Decker LD120VA 20-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Drill/Driver with 30 Accessories? Of course the accessories are more on this one. Appreciate any advice.

The accessories are decent quality and have most of the most popular bits. It doesn't have the larger most popular torx bits. The case is way over sized compared to what was needed and the drill fits loose in the box. The drills are basically interchangable. Both of them are extremely underpowered for most jobs. Currently you can buy the DC970K here for $10 less and get a much more powerful drill. Check my review on the drill for the rest of my story. 1 star.

Crazy as it sounds, it's almost cheaper to buy a new drill than batteries. I just found a 20V Li-Ion drill on sale next week at Lowes for $89 with 2 batteries!. I haven't found a good source for inexpensive replacement batteries. The places that rebuild Ni-Cads don't seem to be in the Li-Ion business yet.

Don't know if it's better or not, didn't test side by side. I got it for my brother who had a good drill and a couple of dead OEM batteries. They are a direct replacement, same charger, etc. They seem to work fine. 3000mAh is about two and a half times the charge capacity of the 1.3ah (1300mAhr) PA14 should it should last longer.

The batteries that came with mine were the thin ones, BAT609, 18V, 1.3Ah, 23.4Wh NOT the 4Ah ones. They do charge up relatively quickly but do NOT seem to run forever between charges in my experience. They are the smaller and less long lasting of the Bosch batteries, but this also makes the tool less heavy and a little more friendly to operate. I would not expect to be able to use this drill all day long with only two charged batteries, but recharging one battery while using the other has worked fine so far.I would buy it again, but if I were working a lot at a place with no power to run the charger I would get the larger batteries for sure.

I know this is an old discussion, but here goes... I am finding 250 in-lbs listed at the Milwaukee site for the cordless drill/driver model 2410-22: http://www.milwaukeetool.com/tools/cordless-tools/m12-cordless-system/m12-cordless-lithium-ion-3-8-inch-drill-driver/2410-22 The cordless screwdriver (model 2401-22) is listed as 150 in-lbs, maybe you were looking at that by mistake?

The Dewalt DCF886D2 20V MAX XR Cordless Lithium-Ion 1/4 in. Brushless Impact Driver Kit with 2.0 Ah Batteries is a variable speed drill. Thank you for your inquiry!

drills are the same... it's just a really good deal surprisingly enough... I took advantage of it and am satisfied with the drill and light... too bad they didn't throw in an extra battery pack... lol...

I bought a "bare tool" only. I have other 20v Dewalts and plenty of batteries. So watch out for "bare tool" it means No Battery-No Charger-No Case. However, I got lucky and there was a battery included, I think it was a Factory Re-Conditioned tool and it came that way in a plain card ord box. So if you need a battery,charger & case don't order just a bare tool.

Bruce K. I went to the Dremel.com website, and the only thing i can see is that the improved the tool set so that it will run longer between battery recharges. For thre extra 20 bucks just order the 2/28, you will be happier in the long run. I did and it comes with a recharger and 2 batterys.

Wow, mine didn't do that, hey are you having any battery problems? This drill is better than my old Milwaukee if can believe it? Never and I mean never bogs down, but I bought 3 spare batteries, only one holds a charge. Thought I would try the newer lithium what do y'all think?

I bought the 20 volt B & D drill kit from Tyler Tool. It came with the battery and charger. That's when I decided to see if I could find the saw to match. I love the whole set. Works great. And you can get batteries here on Amazon. Don't know about the charger.

No, slightly less...by about 10 ft.lb. BUT- SnapOn uses NiCad 14.4v and total cost is 3x more. Dewalt uses a 20v Li-on battery and would last longer. I bought the bare tool & have 4 batts to interchange with my DW impact driver & DW hammer drill. The 3/8" is a good tool for bench work and some smaller auto tasks. Get a 1/2" for the big stuff. Can't go wrong with Dewalt. I'd never buy a NiCad or NiMh battery tool again, these batteries don't have a shelf life and have memory recharge issues.

My drill did not come with the charger nor the battery. I bought it with the understanding that it was just the bare tool. However, they do have a version that come with 2 batteries and charger for over 200.

unfortunally all the Dewalt batteries are expensive. you will need a charger also. The good thing is all the 18 volt Dewalt tools use this same battery. I would buy a small drill which comes with 2 batteries and a charger. you can usually find them for around 89.00 to 100.00. Just make sure it is the same volts as the light.

Unfortunately I sent this Drill/Driver back before I got the impact driver (which is what I meant to order to begin with). They did look like the same battery and charger but I don't know for sure...sorry. Great products.

The 18 volt trimmer has worked okay for over 3 years. The batteries are too heavy and I have gone through 8 of them. I have felt several of the batteries were ruined by leaving them plugged in when not in use. They also run down when idle. The 20 volt max lithium set up is 10 times better. The trimmer is more powerful and the 2 batteries that came with it are always ready to go. However I have only had it for a year. Somebody needs to make a lithium battery that will work on the old 18 volt trimmer. Ni-cad batteries should be obsolete. I am stuck with 2 blowers, a trimmer, chain saw, a pole saw and 2 drills all in the 18 volt system. I reluctantly keep buying new batteries for them.

One is a variable speed drill with a chuck, the other is a driver with a 1/4" hex drive. For example I use the drill for a pilot hole and the driver to drive the screw and don't have to change back and forth with one tool. I also bought the Makita 12v flashlight and use it daily. Battery life is very good. These are not 18v heavy duty units. Perfect for woodworking and hardware around the house. Happy with !
