DeWalt Extreme Runtime (XR) Cordless Tools

DeWalt XR Cordless Tools are designed with brushless motors and high capacity batteries. The results of this combination are amazing, resulting in:
  • Cooler running motor.
  • More efficient motor.
  • Longer runtime.
In a recent test, the DeWalt DCD790D2 XR Brushless Compact Drill with a 2.0Ah battery outperformed the DeWalt DCD780C2 (brushed) compact drill...it drove 1,737 screws compared to the brushed version's 649 screws!

Why brushless? The physical contact of brushes causes system inefficiency through energy loss, friction, and heat build up. Brushes are wearing parts that occasionally need maintenance and replacement...this costs money! With DeWalt's brushless motor, power is delivered to the stationary electromagnets through electronic circuitry. The friction point is removed creating a more efficient use of the power and less power loss equating to more run-time. The wearable components are removed requiring less maintenance, and saving you money in the long-run!

It's no wonder DeWalt leads the power tool manufacturer pack! Thanks for sharing.

I do have the Dewalt DCD790D2. A really great drill, with the only complaint I have is the trigger that is positioned somewhat too far out when compared to other drills. When setting it to gear 2, it's a little bit loud as well but hey - a drill is not suppose to be quiet. The weight of this model is awesome too and it feels very comfortable in the hand. Great thing they include the hard case with it as well. Batteries are also great and last longer than you would expect.
