This is a thread for people that like dewalt tools not the red stuff. I have always got on ok with dewalt tools and if I have a problem I have always been looked after be a local tool shop and dewalt Uk.

To start this off has anyone got one of these?thinking it would be handy for tidying gateways and garden jobs

Good thread - i have dewalt as well so makes sense to stick to one make - is the big dewalt impact wrench as good as the red one ????????????????? £10 cheaper at £389 at screwfix.

I have a couple of 18v Dewalt drills and they have loads of power , good batteries but the chucks will not stay tight and hold on to drill bits . Now using the red ones and it’s not bean a problem.

My present collection, after finding them all I seem to have two 796 drills. Buying memory lapse..??

And there I was thinking this was a thread for people like my dad who only buys hammers with a yellow handle so you can easily see it when you drop it in the grass

I often find that after fitting a drill bit, apparently tightly, the keyless chuck will take an extra half turn after a few seconds. Only got DW stuff now, so don't know if this applies to other makes ?

Got one and can’t complain, makes greasing digger booms easy and quick, can fairly rattle through the grease tubes.

 

[Gong Farmer]

The cost of buying batteries and charger with a tool means we have to keep with one make hence I am currently 'trapped' in Bosch. No complaints though.

where did you get the adaptor, I am on the lookout for something to adapt from Hilti batteries to other tools

 

[Adeptandy]

All DEWALT here, do have the issue with the drill chucks, but only in hammer. I do have the big impact gun and get on well with it. Looking to add the grease gun to the collection for harvest.

What’s your thoughts on the Dewalt steeple gun? I’m also a Makita man but would be very interested in that setup with the adapter!

We had this problem with a couple of our Dewalt drills. I replaced the chucks with new ones from Screwfix. They are better than the ones that came with the drills.

i saw the title and thought of @yellowbelly

which is very unkind cos he's been really nice to me....i do apologise

 

[acorn]

.... adaptor from eBay,....

Staple gun works well, it is quite heavy so a challenge to use one handed.
Batteries need to be fully charged also, it gives up at much below 50%......staples (40mm) are @ £45/thousand.

Overall it's the go to device...even for a quick repair job..
