So, for concrete, rather consider the DCH133 Rotary Hammer Drill. The drills do take strain in concrete, but will not take as much strain in brick. The DCD776 and DCD709 struggled in concrete, but the DCD796 and DCD996 could handle it. But if you doing a lot of holes in concrete, you could end up damaging the gearbox. If you have one of these drills and need to drill the odd hole into concrete, than it will be fine. Concrete is made of cement and stone, which is significantly harder than brick. Masonry is brick, which is a lot easier to drill into than concrete. It is important for us to state that none of the DCD776, DCD709, DCD796 or DCD996 are ideally suited for concrete. The gear ratios enable it to reach higher torques at higher speeds. The DCD996 was much quicker than the DCD796, becuase it has a higher torque (95Nm compared to 70Nm), but also because of the three speed gearbox. The DCD796 and DCD996 will be a better option for this. Especially if you are going to be drill holes larger than 26mm. If you are going to be doing a lot of this type of coach screws, then the higher torque drills will be a better option.Īs with the coach screws, drilling with a auger bit is a high torque application.

We noticed a clear difference in the speed of the DCD796 and DCD996 as compared to the two small models (DCD776 and DCD709). We think that apart from the DCD776, the other three models can cope easily with this task. There is a bit of variability in the test as it also depends on the user’s technique. The DCD776 struggled with one TEKs screws. This test was relatively even, with all four models completing the task relatively easily. It definitely felt easier than the others. The DCD996 came in with a time of 22 second, but the fastest in this application was the DCD796 (16 seconds). Models offered by Black & Decker and DeWalt offer a 'Versa Clutch' that engages the. Other specs include a Unit Watts Out rating (DeWalts own metric) of 535 and 22 cluch. Powered by DeWalts 20v Max XR Lithium-Ion battery, this cordless drill has a rated high BPM of 34,000, a high RPM of 2,000, and a peak torque of 521. The DCD776 and DCD709 came in with a time of 40 seconds and 26 seconds respectively. Cordless Drills Ryobi TFD220VR AEG ABSE 15 Bosch 3054VSRK Panasonic. The DeWalt DCD985M2 features an all-metal transmission system that gives users 3 variable speed settings. Test 5 Drilling three 6,5mm holes into concrete.Īll four drills performed well in this test. Test 4: Drilling 26mm holes into timber with an auger drill bit.

Test 3: Driving three 6x100mm coach screws into timber. Test 2: Driving three TEKS screws through 5mm thick steel. Test 1: Drilling three 7,5mm holes through 5mm thick steel. We designed 5 tests to compare the torque, speed and power of each of the drills.
