      You are comparing apples and oranges. You use a 12V because it is light and easy to bring to awkward places, an 18V because it is powerful and lasts through jobs. They are clearly for different purposes. An SDS rotary hammer is even stronger, but that doesn't make it an almighty solution for every jobs out there.

      step your game up son. 18v is to weak, you need 20v. lol

      unless you are always drilling through concrete or cutting massive tree roots, 12v is more then enough.

        18v 20v ? get a 54v. Oh I mean 60v American version. 6v extra. Same battery but 6v extra from USA. Hang on 240v is even more power, everything else is too weak.

      With that logic, get a 36v, 18v is weak.

    • bio on 18/08/2021 - 14:12

      Which 18V? The max torque of this one is 57.5 Nm which is higher than most 18V drills. Even DeWalt's own 18V DCD785M2-XE is 60Nm. Almost the same.

      • hippyhippy on 18/08/2021 - 14:17

        thats why i wouldnt bother with the lower end 18v…. cause u always have enough power until u need more.

        but i suppose for 100 bucks, this is a decent deal.

        had this been for milwaukee, i'd probably jump on it, they have a much better 12v range.

      • Franc-T on 18/08/2021 - 14:35

        Its not higher than most 18V drills. Some, yes but only the cheap ones like Ozito/Ryobi.

        Its great if you need a light drill - though if you get a more powerful one, theres other advantages you can share the battery with more skins

        Personally I have some 1.5aH batteries on my drills for that reason and dont have anything like this tool - though holding a heavier drill over your head with a 9aH battery hurts way more!

        • bio on 18/08/2021 - 14:45

          Its not higher than most 18V drills. Some, yes but only the cheap ones like Ozito/Ryobi.

          • Makita 18V Brushless DHP485 is 50Nm.
          • Milwaukee 18V Brushless M18CBLDD-0 is 57Nm.
          • DeWalt 18V Brushless Hammer DCD795M2-XE is 60Nm.

          Granted my DHP481 provides almost twice as much torque, but let's compare it to tools within the same price range.

          • Franc-T on 18/08/2021 - 15:00

            @bio: Oh interesting, I didnt realise the Makita and DeWalt were close to the low end Ryobi (which is 50NM) I assumed they would be much more powerful

    • NopeNopeNope on 19/08/2021 - 09:09

      you couldn't be more off mate.

      i have a milwaukee 18v impact & drill as part of a set and i have the dewalt 12v sub compact impact & drill only. 9 times out of 10 i grab the 12v, i f**king love it, so small and compact, battery lasts ages. Don't get me wrong if i need to grab a speed bore and run through a bunch of studs grab out the big unit but for the quick jobs i always get this 'weak' unit.

The last time this bargain came up, I asked about it at a store, and one of the employees said that it was a promo deal, so maybe this kit is an exclusive arrangement between bunnings and dewalt?

      Depends which specs you want to believe…
      The Ryobi has less torque at 45Nm vs 57Nm but says it can drill 32mm in wood, 13mm in metal vs 20mm and 10mm on the DeWalt.

      One thing the Ryobi has going for it is the 13mm chuck vs 10mm on the DeWalt

    Which is better?

  • Castcore on 17/08/2021 - 23:10

    Anyone know what the torque rating on this is? Can’t seem to find it. I want to remove the tub nut from a top loader washing machine and ideally I’d get a torque wrench but I’d rather get something more versatile and that I’ll use more than once. Anyone reckon this will work?

    • Gunnar on 17/08/2021 - 23:21
      +5

      Why would you be using a torque wrench to remove that? Putting it back on sure but not removing it. You’d run the risk of putting it out of calibration but using it to loosen a nut. What else are you likely to use it for? Chances are this will be more versatile

      • Castcore on 17/08/2021 - 23:30

        More just concerned about not actually being able to remove it with just this. It’s a big 32mm hex bolt and is on super tight. Would an impact driver be better suited?

        • whitelie on 17/08/2021 - 23:32
          +3

          Yes, this will just lock up as it has no hammer/impact function

          • Castcore on 18/08/2021 - 14:53

            @Bunsen: Yeah it probs would but if I can get the job done with an impact driver I think I'll actually get more use out of the impact driver than I would an impact wrench (after the job).

            +1

            @Bunsen: A rattle gun (impact wrench) and impact driver have the same type of impact mechanism, just a different connector (and often different torque ratings).
            Bosch even makes one with a dual mode connector - it can take either a half inch socket or a quarter inch hex bit.

            If someone already has an impact driver and occasionally wants to use it with sockets there are adapter sets available.

            • Bunsen on 18/08/2021 - 21:31

              @trongy:

              Lol, well aware mate, i use both for work.

              There's a huge difference in torque though, a standard 1/4" impact driver doesn't have a hope in hell undoing wheel nuts, whereas a 1/2" rattle gun does it with ease..

              It's likes saying 'go use your bicycle pump to inflate a truck tyre'. Horses for courses..

              No way in hell could you use a 1/2" rattle gun to drive in a gyprock screw & alternately, you wouldn't use an impact driver with 1/4" drive to even attempt undoing a 32mm nut/bolt..

              But what would i know hey.. NFI..

          I'm sure DeWALT is better quality than Ozito, but also consider if you're going to buy into the rest of the range. If you want to get other tools (skins) you'll find DeWALT ones are 3 or 4 times the price of Ozito ones.

        • spaij on 18/08/2021 - 11:04

          I guess the main advantage of this would be the light weight / small size. Also, it's better quality, but, I would guess either would last many, many years for home use, if not abused.

        • bio on 18/08/2021 - 14:24

          This has slightly higher torque than the Ozito one even though it's 12V. You are missing the impact driver but save $50.

  • aranciata-oz on 18/08/2021 - 07:45

    Bought this $99 deal couple of years ago - like many commented here, it’s really all you need for the average workshop job. It rendered my previous Milwaukee 18v hammer-capable drill to rare used status. This 12v version is so much lighter and so much more manoeuvrable which in turn often assists for more accurate free hand drilling. And I believe the charger is compatible with De Walt’s 18v batts too, which opens up the door for something like a portable grinder which I desperately desire! Awesome deal, this.

  • freddofrog42 on 18/08/2021 - 10:49
    +1

    I've no doubt this will be a great compact drill and as long as that's all you want then fine. It's small size is certainly a bonus but I tend to think of it as a one-off purchase for special needs as there just isn't a decent range of 12V tools (yet?)

    Personally, I'd go for the 18V range as there's so many more tool options and you often get excellent kit sales e.g. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/dewalt-dck303p1xe-18v-50a….

    To save weight a 2Ah battery is more than adequate for drills and impact drivers. Forget it with angle grinders etc.

    Incidentally, for those who bought the DeWalt 14.4V range that Masters had a few years ago you can easily modify the skins to take the 18V batteries and the extra voltage has not harmed them in my experience. I suspect that using the 18V batteries with a 10.8V skin like in this offer (20V is marketing) might be a step too far…

  • coast666 on 18/08/2021 - 12:13

    Hi guys, i am new to this ? is it more Volts the better? I see some other brand, even has 24V, 36V, would that be better than this one? Or …

    • Bunsen on 18/08/2021 - 13:04

      Not really, higher voltage=less current consumed for the same job. If you're just after weekend warrior type stuff, probably better off with Ryobi or the Ozito impact/drill combo packs mentioned above.. DeWalt is usually on the little more expensive side but is 'Trade quality' unlike Ozito etc. Fine for weekend jobs but not for daily/commercial use..

      • coast666 on 18/08/2021 - 13:15

        i see, thanks, will this one able to drill a hole on the wall, e.g title for installing blinds etc. So Ryobi will be better for me, just want to everyday maintenance at house, e.g fix fence etc. Also, i am stil not sure which is better, drill or impact driver etc thanks

          This DeWalt doesn't have hammer function which is required for masonry drilling. An impact driver is for screwing only, basically. They only have a 1/4" Hex drive for the bits, not a chuck like a drill does.

          Your probably better off with the Ozito combo, cheap & easy, just ensure the drill does actually do 'hammer' function.. Read further up the post, most of this has been covered already.

      • afoveht on 19/08/2021 - 00:28

        higher voltage=less current consumed for the same job

        If by job you mean the amount of physical work done (in joules) then maybe, but this is a weird way of looking at a drill. Rather, higher voltage is generally going to be more current consumed for more power delivered for the same pull of the trigger.

        Otherwise higher voltage devices would not provide any power advantage like everyone keeps harping on about above. Higher voltages are not chosen to lessen current but to increase current which increases power.

However we can offer you the Dewalt 18V 3 Piece Atomic Brushless Kit for the same price of $99. That includes Reciprocating Saw, hammer drill, impact driver, charger and battery. Now if I’m not wrong that is a $399/$499 kit. I’m like yes please :) happy days. Thanks Bunnings

    I bought one of these due to the ozbargain effect but I already own a dcd796 and dcf887.

    I’ve used the dcd796 for a variety of drill jobs around the home, and I particularly struggle with drilling into red brick and tile – I manage in the end, but it seems like a lot of effort when I believe it shouldn’t be. It could be that I don’t have the correct skill/technique. Also im pretty certain I got the appropriate tungsten carbide drill bit for masonry purposes.

    That aside – I bought this one anyway so my better half doesn’t get left out when we put ikea furniture together. What else is it good for around the home?

    Can someone let me know what bits I'm supposed to buy that matches these? I thought the ones fitting in my ratchet screwdriver would fit but it did not…

      Pretty much anything with a round or hex shaft of 10mm or less should fit. What exactly did you have that didn't fit?
