is this flat brush easier to control on a flat surface compared to the longer bristle brushes and will it work with my B&amp;D 12v 3/8" cordless drill ?

Riding on the edge of the brush gives you the best control. And it should work fine with a 3/8 drill

I am not sure if it is more powerful. I have a 20v brushless hammer drill also and I interchange the batteries. Both are very powerful and really amazing drills. I have not used an 18v so I cannot compare the two types. The DCD780B is a great drill, I highly recommend it.

Works just fine in either the 12V drill or impact driver. Heck it even works in my cordless Dremel, if you change out the bottom base.

No, it's too bulky to operate as a handheld even without the extension handle. Also the brush setting just agitates the dust and the vacuum itself isn't strong enough to gather the dust by itself, lastly the rectangular brush base as previously mentioned isn't detachable but it does flex which makes it impractical to operate in the way you would a normal handheld vacuum.

You can just use the staight bottom without adding the slanted extension, although I'm not sure this will work as well on a bare, flat bottom. It does a good job when you gently agitate the gravel to loosen debris. The suction is minimal. I'll hope others with more specific experience can add to this for you. I think I'd wait until hearing from them before I ordered to avoid possible disappointment. It's not a vacuum in the classical sense. Sorry I can't be more directly responsive.

I researched them and found the motors were all the same, I'm guessing the difference was in housings or length of cord, but the multi purpose I bought was built quite well for my usage. It's solid and does a good job, first week I cleaned 1200 sq' of flagstone outside and then 500 of clearcoats flagstone indoors. The one I bought did not come with brushes and it might be good to buy 2 or 3 different types, but its a good machine

I'd expect it to do just as well as on a completely flat surface. Not only does it have the "sweeping" vacuum brush that collects hair horizontally in line with it... the "vacuum" part underneath collects hair underneath.

I find using a very flat square brush , brushing from bottom to top gently works great

Yes, pretty well. I have wood floors that I use it on, and I use the narrow head attachment to get the corners. The wide brush head has a suction-control tab to get flat-vs-shag surface control for suction.

The bristles are relatively short. I would say shorter than an average brush less than an inch. But this prodigy really works great it took my very curly hair to straight within minutes

Not sure if it available on a corded model, speed control is usually more useful and it is very POOR on Dewalt drills. Other brands much better

I have used mine a lot. The only difficulty I have had is on small surfaces that don't have enough flat area for the guide. Even then it is better than nothing. I usually insert the drill through the proper hole, line the bit up on my mark and then lower the guide flat on the work piece surface. Much better than freehand.

The one I have has the option of how hard you press the trigger switch the faster it runs. We like these polishers / buffer very much. They are light weight and easy to use, the only problem we have had is wearing the brushes in the motor. Dewalt could and should improve the brushes in these. Not difficult to replace and not expensive.

The Fuel model is better being brushless, lighter and more compact. Excellent drill. If you can get a Fuel model for less then the older style. It's a good buy.

I don't have the 20Volt model you mention, but just based on battery size, I'm guessing the B&D; battery will have more power and last longer. Again, these battery powered units are great as a sweeper, but not really for heavy duty yard leaf blowing. I alternate my battery with the B&D; weed eater too, and so far it works out great. Have had them about a year.

Yes. Only the larger (and much more expensive) drill models use brushless motors.

The BDCDMT120 is the B&D; Matrix that has removable heads that can be interchanged with others such as a jigsaw attachment in place of the drill head. It is also a 3/8 drill. The Decker BDCDHP220SB-2 does not have interchangeable heads but is a 1/2 inch drill with two speed ranges. Love my Decker BDCDHP220SB-2. High speed is very high for a cordless - has lots of power, good battery life and takes larger drill bits than the 3/8".
