DeWalt Reviews

How does one scrub without water? Darned hard, I say. I use the mouse to scrub a working sink, and while it works well and gets stains out, the rubber plate to which the scrubber attaches continuously comes off the tool when wet. The store graciously replaced the entire unit, but it happened again the next time I scrubbed. A little super-glue was all it took for the pad to stay on. Now...why can't they do that at the manufacturer? Otherwise, a powerful little scrubber, if you're willing to put up with peeling corners and such.

This is an excellent product I would give it 5 stars but the advertisers need to pay better attention to the product they are selling... The pictured item is not the D5107 tool bag. The D5107 has three pouches running from top to bottom. The bottom two are not side by side.

I found this to not be big enough to hold the Stanley Fat Max tape measure. I use the 25' and it fits tightly in this holder. Other than that it seems like a good unit.

I picked this exact item up on eBay for $40 plus $17 shipping. I had it in my mind that I could use this cut out shapes in wood as I am not a drywall, ceramic tile or acoustic ceiling installer. I also wanted to add to my collection of DeWalt 18v tools. Wow was I in for a surprise. This thing is so fast you cannot do much detail with it. The sawdust gets in the way of the cut line and if you don't keep a strong grip on it, it will just rip its way through the material whichever way it wants. Sort of like a skinny router. I did manage to get some crude shapes cut but they are not square all the way through the wood. I did think about using it to cut tenons because of the depth guide. I am sure it has lots of uses but I am still searching for them. Save your money and get the corded kit with circle cutter & handle unless you already on an 18v battery & charger.

This is a good first attempt by Dewalt at making an adjustable-depth setter. It does the job but marks up the workpiece because the body does not rotate freely. As you reach the desired depth, the outer body rotates against the work piece and leaves a ring-shaped mark/indentation around your screw.

This doesn't matter much for drywall since it will be spackled and painted anyway. But for general woodworking this needs to be redesigned, so that the outer body rotates freely.

It's a simple tool and it works but it holds the bit too tightly. It's a struggle to get the bit back out.

I would like to give a review of this product, but have yet to receive them. Ordered in March and back-ordered and re-back-ordered ever since. Maybe someday they will come.

After lots of hesitation I finally bought the 8-piece version, but the problems I've had apply to the 16-piece set just a much.
It's great when you constantly switch between drilling and screwing. I have a second drill, but it's always painful to lug it around, especially when dancing on a ladder.

BUT: this drive system failed on me after the 3rd screw. Turns out the hex shank that goes into the drill chuck is hard steel, but the wider body mounted on it is soft aluminum. The two are not well fastened together and I soon had my drill rotating while the rest of the assembly was just sitting still. This happened Dec 25th, so I had to repair it myself: drove a pin through the aluminum body and the shank. Now it works. Couldn't they have done it right from the start (especially for this price)?

DeWalt has once again invested a lot of time in developing a very heavy duty and highly functional tool, but there is one hitch. The locking mechanism uses a small metal ball inside the thumb collar to hold the Drill/Driver assembly in place. To change, simply disengage the collar and flip the unit and re-lock. The only problem is that when the driver end is in the chuck, the magnet tends to prevent the ball from leaving the grove it is in and makes the switch very tricky.
I had to remove the magnet to continue using the unit without loosing my sanity, but in doing so lost the magnetic function so helpful in holding screws and bits securely.
*** If any one associated to DeWalt reads this, might I make a little suggestion: go with a NON-FERROUS ball***

I bought this set for a project where I knew I would need long drive bits I am glad there where 2 because the tip chiped off one of them but the other one is still going strong so far

It does grip the screw very well and the length is handy but

I will not be buying anymore dewalt drive bits
