Does this drill have enough power to get the job done? Friends say that 12volt is not enough?! Thanks.

Depends on the job, I suppose ... I use mine around the house. My son runs his own construction business and used a 10v Makita. He eventually sold it to a friend and purchased a Milwaukee 12v because it offered more attachments. So, IMHO 12v is enough.

Depends on the size of the job. I use mine in automotive repair and it works very well on nuts screws and bolts and drilling some holes. The charger does it job in 15 to 30 minutes. I can usually finish the job on 1 battery and if not i haven't used up a battery without the other 1 charging fast enough to be finished charging. I hope this helps.

Unless you are trying to drill in lag bolts, this drill has enough power for most everyday jobs.

this is a drill designed for light to medium tasks and not 8 hour daily constant use. I used it to replace my cabinet hardware, hinges and pulls. With the extra included battery, there was no down time. This drill was perfect, it had plenty of power and the small size and light weight just worked great. I'm 100% satisfied with this drill.

Mine has a lot of torque and a poor trigger. You pretty much get all or nothing which is OK for drilling but not so good where controlled power delivery is needed.

Yes I do, I have a 1/2 inch 18 volt cordless drill and it did great at the beach house in Oregon as well as for jobs around my yard.

Yes but the speed is probably way to high and when you lower it you lose a lot of torque so it's far from ideal. A drill capable of 2-4000 rpm would be better.

I think my drill is the PS31. I do know it uses the 12-volt battery & this one charges my battery perfectly...usually in less than 30 min!!!

The more powerful the drill, the better the chance someone will get hurt. I hit a root and the drill pulled itself out of my hand and hurt my wrist pretty bad. I was using a 18v at the time. I later used a 12v and I felt safer with it (even with less power). It was recommended to me that a two handed drill be used with this piece,

Absolutely. With a sharp drill bit this drill has more than enough torque to handle any job around the house. It's really not a matter of having enough torque with most drills, the difference is battery life and charging times with today's drills. For general use around the house by the average 'handyman', this drill is a great buy!

Not sure, but really doubt it. Our cordless 19V drill works good but I think it has more power than the dremel. I assume you are talking the smaller dremel tool, not the big one that works like a saw.

Pablo, I recently purchased this Black & Decker product, and, so far as I can determine, this drill will not work on 220 V. There may be an adapter. Suggest you pose this question directly to Black & Decker. Best to ypou.

It does super!-Lots of power here, and the battery really hangs in there. Just hang on when punching thru steel, as this drill has enough power to twist your wrist!

Even with the new batteries, sometimes it does not work to the minimum required expectation. From your question, I could guess that you want to use this product for some minimum power required DIY works. This Product does not suit at all. Go for any ordinary Drilling Machine from Bush or the same manufacturer Black and Decker. I own a Drilling machine from Black and Decker, ordinary type. It is quite Powerful and can be used for Concrete Drilling also with Hammer Mode. It is not costly and can be used for all the drilling purposes.

Drill is like others said, DCD710; Impact Driver is DCF815; I like them both....also have 18 volt system with lots of accessories...this 12v is just as good, smaller size is real asset. No issues yet.

When you say you have an electric impact wrench needing 7 amps, is that 7 amps at 120V? If so (as I'm assuming) then the inverter in this will NOT work because it is rated for 200 watts continuous (~2 amps max). I doubt any power-pack like this will be able to handle that load, so to run such off a battery/inverter system will require you to put together a 1000 watt inverter and car-size battery (I'd get one rated at least 60 amp-hour if you'll be pulling ~60 amps at 12V which is the same as 6 amps at 120V). If it just needed 7 amps at 12V, this battery could run such for over an hour, but that sounds unrealistic for such a tool.

I assume you can. I'm using my 18v battery from my drill and it works perfectly. I was skeptical whether the size of this impact was going to be able to do what I need it to do, but it surprised the heck out of me. The 18 volt battery looks a bit bigger than the insertion in the impact, but it will work. Hope this helps you out out.

Yes, it's a great drill. Check the prices at the big box hardware stores. You will come back and order this one!

Definitely a lot of power, but I still would use it for regular drilling jobs. It is a big drill, but again it is quality.

I think it is a better drill overall than the 18 volt Dewalt drill that I own. The 18 volt is very heavy compared to the 20 volt drill. Make sure you get 20V batteries with the power meter feature on the back of the battery. It lets you see the charge by pushing a button, really nice feature.
