Fan or Not I don't really care what others think.
Nothing wrong with dewalt. I just upgraded to 2 full line20v sets. Much better across the board from the18v bricks. Very light more compact drills better power and longer running batteries. My crew loves them. I personally use hilti cordless there are just superior for many reasons. You'll be happy.
I checked out the 20v line yesterday at the local lumber yard. They had a "compact" set (drill, impact) on sale for $199.
Are the compact set batteries junk? I see they're have the size of the normal 3.0 at a measley 1.5. Does that mean they stay charged half the time of normal ones?
I think the 20V line is great, I replaced my Hilti set with them and I'm quite content. My only complaint is the chuck on the drill isn't the greatest. I have the brushless xrp kit.
I hope I didn't come off like hilti snob. We did some work in the local hilti store. Small stuff hung a few lights 2-3hrs of work. I send them a bill for500-600 bucks and they offered tools as barter because we don't accept credit cards for payment and going through corporate would of taken 60days to process check. I took the tools package worth over a grand.
