Was about to post the hammer drill… anyone know the model number thst hammer drill is.. i was trying to find out
Might pay to put 12v in the title too
oh dam! good point! didnt notice that! was about to buy it partly because i thought i could use the extra batteries for the dewalt 18v pruner i bought recently ><
lol was wondering why they all seemed so cheap.. thought supercheap had their pricing wrong.. but they're all 12v hehe
18v would be perfect as the battery is interchangeable with my other tools.
12V SDS+ hammer, how fancy!
Oh wow, I didn't even notice that. That explains why they are so cheap.
Thank you. This will be handy for my own termite treatment for concreted areas around the house.
Do you use this tool to drill into brick? Eg installing security cameras or attaching wood to brick?
yea drilling into masonary or concrete, or attaching a spade bit and hammering like a jackhammer… but 12v would probably be too weak.. id go atleast 18v to ensure it can handle the tougher material etc never used a 12v hammer drill but i know that at times using an 18v can feel underpowered sometimes which can be annoying, like it can take a long time to drill through tough concrete etc sometimes etc. cant imagine how underpowered a 12v would be heh but i might be wrong
Appreciate the info
Also if you want the tools engine to last longer, they say to go brushless, instead of brushed, where possible or necessary. You'll notice alott of the dirt cheap tools are brushed.. most the good stuff is brushless.
You can get away with having brushed tools and lower power for minor work around your house etc if your not using the tools everyday for work, or your rarely use the tool.. it'll just take longer for the tool to do the job but, but for small jobs around the house a cheap brushed set with a good warranty like the ozito 18v brushed sets at bunnings are okay, or even the ryobi 18v sets if your willing to pay a little more. Great thing if you buy then on warranty from bunnings, and it breaks etc they usually just replace it with a new one alott of the time. Good thing if you buy from bunnings, there's bunnings all over Australia so, as long as you keep your receipt etc your covered and worry less.
but yea the 12v tool has a purpose if that light weight power is all you need to get the job done. some 12v tools are highly rated. so can be very effective.
@JURBA: I still see brushed tools being used by tradies, usually older ones with 10-15 year old Makitas. I myself still use a 10 year old brushed Dewalt impact driver pretty much daily. It gets given all of the dirty jobs that I don't want to use my newer drivers on. It still works as good as ever.
12v, 12v and 12v.
Pardon my ignorance, but other than the battery not being compatible with the 18V range, is there any disadvantage to the 12V hammer drill?
Less power. Much less power.
1.1J impact energy, as other people have stated in the comments, ryobi 18V is 2.5J
My milwaukee 18V (not even top of their line) is close to 5J
Means it drills slower.
A 3Ah 12V battery also holds less energy (only 2/3) than a 3Ah 18V battery.
Edit: but on the other hand presumably the Dewalt 12V line is a fair bit lighter and more compact than the 18V. Depends what you need it for, if you're drilling smaller holes in cramped locations or overhead, you might want the 12V
I might cancel my order then 😞
@Lizard Spock: Don't. There's a lot of hype on the whole 12v vs 18v vs 20v… use the tool and you'll be surprised. I have both the M12 and M18 Milwaukee tools and 90% of the time I go back to the 12v ones. They're just as powerful but a lot more practical due to size.
Only thing I'd avoid is using the really small batteries but that goes for all of them. I have a couple of 3.0a M18 which make the tool significantly weaker when compared to the 12a or even the 5a.
This kit comes with the 5a battery so I'm sure it will work fine and, unless you're using it as full time tradie, it will keep you happy for ages. Buy a bigger battery later on if you want but there will be zero need for a 20v model.
I work in construction and over the last few years there has been a massive increase in the amount of ppl running 12v tools due to the reasons above.
@educalifa: Cancel your order. Lack of battery compatibility with all the other Dewalt tools out there kills this deal.
This drill is stupidly underpowered.
I haven’t seen a 12v Dewalt tool for a long time, where did they even find these ?
@Lichen6420: There are plenty of tests of it out there if you want to check… I'm not sure why there seems to be less 12v DeWalt around but my guess is that M12 is not that much more and some people will prefer Milwaukee. I have tools of both and honestly they're just as good as each other.
The impact wrench that is also listed on this deal is the real bargain here. That thing is REALLY good! I own one and also own a Milwaukee Mid Torque M18 and since getting the DeWalt I hardly ever reach for the Milwaukee. Don't get me wrong, the Milwaukee is waaaay more powerful but also way bigger/heavier. In the real world though, the extra power is hardly ever needed. This little DeWalt easily removes the wheel nuts on my ute/car/trailer and even on a mate's Hyno truck! All whilst being incredibly easy to handle. The 5ah battery that comes in the package is all you'll ever need really.
@educalifa: The only thing that puts me off is that the batteries are different to my current DeWalt set 😔
@Lizard Spock: I understand, I had the same thought before getting the M12s on the Milwaukee. But to be honest, it's a non issue.
I also have some DeWalt tools and using different batteries hasn't been a problem. I keep the batteries charged and it's very rare I run a battery all the way down in the middle of something… only exception being the freaking leaf blower but that tool is incredibly battery hungry and even using the 12ah battery is not enough. But again, I don't use the leaf blower enough that it actually becomes an issue.
You'll have to spend a lot of time drilling to kill the battery that comes in this kit
Technically 3/5 the watt hours, since 12v tools like these and the M12 have a nominal voltage of 10.8v. They use 3 cells in series compared to 18v tools which use 5 cells.
Is it strong enough? Says 1.1j. To compare, Ryobi brushless 18v is 2.5j.
12V?
1.1j is pretty gutless these days.
Sorry, but pass….
yup.. same here
These are lightweight for light applications and easy to use for long periods. eg overhead use or 5 or 6mm wall plugs etc. It's a bit weird though, never seen dewalt at Supercheap before and no one else seems to stock these. Maybe Supercheap imported directly, I wonder what the warranty is?
Bunnings use to sell the DeWalt 12V tools but they cleared them out about 18 months ago.
I'm still kicking myself for not buying up all their 12v stuff from the Bunnings clearance when I had the chance. I think the impact driver and drill kit with 2 batteries was only $150 and most of the order skins they had left were only $50. If I wanted any of that stuff now it is like 2-3 times the price.
12 VOLTS lol
Where does Supercheap find this stuff…..
This might be useful to peal tiles off the wall in a bathroom reno ,
and hopefully be able to get bigger tiles up off the floor ,
as long as you keep a rubber mallet around as backup ,
to beat it with ..
This or the 225$ ryobi hammer drill?
Id go the Ryobi, better warranty and i feel like a hammer drill will benefit having the extra power
Price and location in title pls
