    No joke about the long time lurker.. did you forget your password by any chance?

    • I think i logged in using my google account. Where as previously I created an account which I can't remember the password for :)

    • That's gotta be some kinda record lol 😁

    if your a home owner/diy its ok and i only say that cause of the batteries they provide. 1.5ah is not enough to ppwer those tools to thier potential. 1.5ah i would use for dewalts lite duty stuff like lights and i mean small lights not tower lights. minimum to get anything out of those tools would be 3.0, but thats why the kit is so cheap. that charger also takes a long time to charge. dewalt makes a amazing charger its the yellow one. runs super cool cause it has a built in fan so its able to keep your batterys cool has its charging and extending the life of your battery pack. and keep in mind its brushed not brushless but if your just using it for around the house for projects they will more then serve your needs. but those weak 1.5ah batterys will make you dissapointed.

      What are you talking about? 1.5ah is how long the battery will last, Not how powerful it is

      • +1

        watch from 6minutes onwards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVMwp4Hm7OQ

        • A smaller battery won't affect the performance of the tool, just the time it will operate.

      • lmao, its actually both. 1.5 amps a hour is what the batterys will give you. how long do you honestly think that will power that impact or hammer drill? especially if your using the impact for self tappers or lags, forget trying to drill thru concrete with that hammer drill on the 1.5 you will get a few passes and your done. when someone says 1.5ah or 3.0 or 5.0 or whatever yes thats the amps per hour but it also refers to its power. ive got milwaukee batterys from 5.0 to 6.0 high output and 12.0 output. when someone asks what size battery you using and i say 6.0 or 12.0 99.9% of the time the reply is damn thats a strong battery they dont say wow thats alot of amps per hour. what scares me is the two people who voted you up for that comment. people here have alot to learn

        • +1

          1.5Ah is the capacity bro, you're thinking of the 'C' rate of a battery, ie how much current it can continuously provide.

        • +2

          He's technically right and you're right in the practical sense.

          Because the larger battery has more cells in parallel, it's max current is higher. It will tax the smaller battery more to provide the max amps more than the larger batteries. As the battery empties, both current and voltage will drop, and it may not be fully discharged before it's unable to power the tool. In this case 350W at 18 volts = 19.44A, which is a lot.

          So for a theoretical example, whilst using a 1.5ah battery, you'll might be out of the ideal range for this tool after 5 minutes at full power, whereas with a 6ah battery, can use it for 30 minutes (just an example not real world results).

          The 1.5ah battery still has power remaining in the battery but is unable to drive the tool.

          Also to nitpick, it's amp-hour, a measure of capacity at a given voltage, not amps per hour which isn't really a measurement. Amp is already related to time, 1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb per second.

            @anywherej:

            Also to nitpick, it's amp-hour, a measure of capacity at a given voltage, not amps per hour which isn't really a measurement. Amp is already related to time, 1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb per second.

            Also to nitpick:

            • amp hour is a measure of charge, provided irrespective of voltage (Ah at a given V relates to energy or work done, "capacity" is a dubious albeit most-often useful term)

            • amps per hour can be a measurement, and a physical unit, of current change over time, in A/h, which may be useful to determine points of inflection in energy consumption

            • the SI specifies that the unit names "ampere" and "coulomb" should not be capitalised in general usage. Their abbreviations A and C should.

            • @afoveht: thank you for the corrections. It's good that information is more and more accurate.

          • @anywherej: Rubbish, max current doesn't change on the size of the battery pack. The tool will use a set amount of current regardless of what battery is connected to it, you are trying to re-explain an amp/hour in a convoluted way. An amp hour is a unit of electric charge, having dimensions of electric current multiplied by time. Nothing else changes, if all else is equal.

            • @triple675: Hey man, I'm just trying to explain things better.

              I never said the tool will use different amount of current based on the battery.

              In general, the larger batteries have more cells in parallel which increases the max current. This will obviously be moderated by the current limiter, so you're right in that each battery outputs the same current. What i meant is that it's easier for larger battery packs to provide the max current of the battery. Sorry for the misunderstanding, i should've clarified the theoretical max current of the cells, the battery max current, and max current draw of the tool.

              You clearly know that amp-hour is current multiplied by time. Yet you both denote it as amp/hour, which is amp divided by hour. But like I said, that's a nitpick.

              I did not attempt to explain amp/hour. That's measuring the rate of change of current which is only used in specialized situations, as @thevofa mentioned.

            • @triple675: I would expect the designers of these tools would match the batteries properly to the device, but there may be more to the picture.

              Indeed a "higher capacity" battery composed of more cells in parallel could supply higher currents. Whether that happens depends on the tool itself. It is not uncommon however for batteries to form part of the regulating circuit (via their internal impedance) in electrical devices - it's a yucky approach but in the era of saving cents it is done. I wouldn't expect that with De Walt but who knows. The same happens in various mains connected electrical devices where transformer inefficiencies actually provide negative feedback in regulating current.

    • I understand where you are coming from in the sense there are better alternatives in the Dewalt range but not at this price point. It's like all tool manufacturers there's always a better superseded charger, battery, motor but at the end of it. Personally I prefer the 1.5s when using it on drills as the overall weight of the tool is keep to a minimum but agree the full potential is obviously better with a longer lasting bigger battery. I guess it pays to invest in a tool range and expand it depending on your needs

    • I don't know what you are on about. I bought the last of the metal geared models 6 years ago. It came with 2 1.5Ah batts and they seem to last forever on a charge. Used them day in and day out renovating and always seem to get over a day out of them. From memory the charger only takes an hour or so to recharge.

    if your dead set on dewalt i suggest this combo

    DeWalt DCK2030M2-XE 18V 4.0Ah XR Li-ion Cordless 2pce Combo Kit at sydney tools its $399. i know its $151 more but your getting brushless tools, much better batterys two 4.0ah and that hammer drill is really good and the 787 impact the so called little brother to that garbage 887 is a beast..the 787 is really.over looked and under rated but is more then capable to doing all your house work and projects and can go out there on the job site and make you money. my mentality is why spend $249 and run brushed tools and even worse under power them. you will regret the purchase. and if you buy that cheaper kit and then buy stronger batterys you will have spent over $400 by then when you add the cost of the $250 combo and bw running brushed. i get that people here have hard ons to brag about getting a deal but you also want quality not just quantity. the $249 combo is neiter the $399 is both.

  • Can you link to that combo for $399?

    This Saturday, Aldi will be selling 24V Cordless Drill Kit with Hammer Function + 2x 1.5Ah + charger for $79.99
    I think it is worth than spending $200+ on this one.

    • Sorry mate, but even people who are not DeWalt fans, would agree that this Aldi drill does not even compare to the DeWalt offering, except on paper.
