Garden planting project; First, I waited a few days after some heavy rain so that my soil would be somewhat softer, or so I thought, Huh! the California clay like soil is still hard like concrete, even after years of soil amendment. I was using a new 2 inch Garden Auger that I bought from Amazon. The heavy duty auger takes a hefty drill to operate in tough clay soil conditions. I wasn't worried when I ordered it because I have a collection of heavy duty drills to choose from, both corded and battery. I started out using one of my new DEWALT heavy duty 18 volt hammer drills. The auger wouldn't drill in any of the clutch settings I selected and would only ratchet. I selected drill mode and the drill would start the auger and then grab the hard soil and stop turning to put the torque to my wrist and stall the drill. I decided to try using the drill in hammer mode and it would turn the auger bit and slowly start to work into the soil. The hammer mode doesn't really seem to give you an advantage when using a soil auger and it is so slow that I figured I wouldn't be making much progress with the hundreds of holes I planned to drill to turn up the soil. Now I went to some of my big guns, my old Milwaukee heavy duty 1/2 inch beasts that have plenty of power to do the job. I started drilling and the first few holes were easy, until the auger jammed and I wrapped myself and the cord around the drill a couple of times until I could get my finger off the trigger. Wow this really hurts your wrists! I tryed more times with the same results, you just can't take your finger off the trigger fast enough. So, I decided to bring out the Milwaukee Hole Hawg and use it in slow speed setting. The configuration of this drill gives you a better hold with the long handle and longer hand grip. Same thing.....plenty of power, but when they get stuck you still go for a ride. I am getting old and don't want to hurt myself, so I decided to do some research on an alternative drill to use.
I found this DEWALT DWD220 with the E-Clutch and decided to give it a try. This one is a keeper... I put it to work minutes after it arrived and I Love it. This drill is light weight, has an excellent handle that locks in place and doesn't slip and has plenty of power. The drill has power all through the variable speed range. When the auger would get stuck and stop, the drill clutch would work and would cycle the power off and on immediately to stop the drilling action and take the power and torque away from your wrists. I simply put it in reverse and backed out. The e-clutch doesn't work like other drill clutches do and slip or ratchet. The e-clutch helps maintain power of the drill until the electronic circuit senses a jam. This is a great safety option for any heavy duty corded drill. I can think back and remember countless times of jamming up a bit in heavy steel or wood drilling. This will be my new go to drill...... 5 stars...... Hey DEWALT, this one is a winner..... Hey Amazon thanks for good price and fast shipping......
Note: My drill is marked Made In Mexico for anyone concered about where products are manufactured. I think all product descriptions should include country of manufacturing, so the consumer can make an informed decision of purchase.
My shop has nearly a dozen drills & drill drivers of various sizes, powers, weights, corded vs. battery, etc. This DeWalt was the obvious choice for us, replacing a ½" drill with a keyless chuck stuck in the open position. Here's why I really like this tool:
Pros:
- my thin wife wanted a drill to drive a bulb auger. These large bits are used to drill into the earth to make a hole in which to plant bulbs. Said drilling is prone to the bit binding if it hits a rock or a root. Without the E-Clutch feature on this drill, she could have injured her wrists when that happened. In fact, even my 270 pound bulk could sprain a wrist when a bit binds and the drill keeps going. See Customer Images for the description of E-Clutch from DeWalt...
- DeWalt seems to be the maker of pistol grip ½" drills with handles that comfortably fit my size 12 (XXL) hand, yet works for her small hands. E.g., my pinkie goes past the end of the handle on the Milwaukee 0299-20 Magnum ½" drill.
- excellent 360-degree locking side handle with soft grip can face up or down. E.g., the Hitachi D13VF side handle has only two positions - left or right.
- the unusually powerful 10.5 amp motor allows the chuck to spin up to 1200 RPMs and still have the torque necessary to drill big holes. By comparison, the Makita 6302H ½" drill is only 6.5 amps, so its high torque is achieved through gearing and low (550) rpms. For low speed applications such as mixing joint compound, the Makita is a great choice. However, I needed the higher speeds this DeWalt offers.
- the all steel chuck can be tightened as necessary with the key; something that wasn't possible with that keyless chuck in the drill this DeWalt replaced. Unlike a keyless chuck, there's little chance of this chuck jamming either open or closed.
- 8' 2-prong rubber (versus stiff plastic) cord remains flexible even in the coldest weather. Tool is double-insulated.
- metal gearbox. This has been important to me ever since a Porter Cable drill with nylon gears stripped out after two years.
- made in Mexico with 1 year free service repairs and 3 year limited warranty. Send tools to service centers or order replacement parts from multiple sites. Their US headquarters is in Baltimore, MD.
Cons:
- at 6.9 pounds, this drill is heavier than the competition (e.g., the Makita is 4.8 lbs; the Hitachi is 4.6 lbs.), but that weight is because of the DeWalt's large motor.
- the Amazon ad and even the box it came in says this drill operates at 0-1200 rpm. However, its lowest speed (other than off) seems to be around 300 rpm (5 revolutions per second); so it should say 300-1200 rpm. DeWalt says that reduces the chance of motor damage that would otherwise occur by straining the tool at very low rpm. This makes this drill less than ideal for driving screws and other low-speed applications, but in my case, I have an impact driver and many other drills for those uses. As a point of reference, the slowest rpm of any of my drills is a V28 Milwaukee, which can turn as slow as once per second (60 rpm).
Other:
- there is no trigger lock, so your finger has to be on the trigger for it to run. This is a safety feature, since a powerful drill that's locked on, especially with a large bit, is dangerous.
- there is no tool case - the only drills/drivers I own that came with a case are the battery operated models, which needs the case for the charger and two batteries.
Summary:
While no drill is perfect, this one comes awfully close.
