dewalt drill kit???
i just bought a dewalt 14.4 volt drill kit for $179 from homedepot. The kit says it includes screw driver bit, but when i opened it has only 1 bit. is it normal or did i just picked the wrong box?
It does say “includes screw driver bit’ not “bits” and your drill is not junk. Don’t even listen to anyone who would buy Ryobi thinking it’s better than Dewalt. As if a battery would make it a better tool, it will only make an average tool run longer! Dewalt are one of the finest tool you can buy hands down, able to endure the heaviest of work loads that would melt a Ryobi.
Half the price for half the tool! I don’t think Ryobi is junk, just not as good and anyone who would say Dewalt is junk compared to Ryobi, shouldn’t be taken seriously.

How To Find The Power Drill That Best Suits You
Using the right power drill can make a significant improvement in your working results and in your workday itself. Just like wearing a comfortable pair of shoes, the drill you use should be a good fit. Simply remember these few steps to help you find the drill that most compliments you and your needs.
First, its important to determine the types of projects you plan to use the drill for. Degree of use is a huge factor in both the type of drill that you want, and the way it will perform under certain conditions. Chances are, if you rarely break out the drill, and use it for primarly small, simple tasks, you won’t need too much more than a very standard drill. Of course you may want more, but, in most cases, drilling a few screws about the house doesn’t require an industrial grade power drill. On another hand, if you frequently and heavily use your drill, you’ll certainly want a more powerful tool with a bit more spunk in the features department – one that will stick with you for the long haul. In the tool business, quality and price almost unfailingly go hand-in-hand, so I feel safe saying that the more you spend, the better the drill.
Determine between corded and cordless. Corded drills are often more powerful, lightweight, and don’t rely on (sometimes unreliable) battery power. They are, however, tethered to a wall which means less mobility and more hassling with power cords – this is especially inconvenient during overhead drilling. Cordless drills, on the other hand, are free-wheeling and always convenient, but they do rely on battery power and a good charge. Despite occaisionally being a bother, if you can keep up with you charging cysles, this is not usually an issue. If you do choose a corded tool, look for one with a longer cord. The more space you have, and the less often you need to use an extension cord, the better.
If you choose a cordless tool, you’ll need to decide between NiCad, NiMH, and Li-Ion batteries. Li-Ion, or Lithium Ion batteries, are by far the most popular battery choice, and for good reason. They are extremely lightweight, powerful, long-lasting, fast-charging, and simply boast an unmatched high-performance. All this goodness comes at a price though rendering NiMH or NiCad a more affordable option. Despite price, however, many craftsman would rather pay a bit more for their first lithium ion battery, than buy a replacement for their NiCad or NiMH drills. Still, NiMH and NiCad batteries are perfectly suitable for most applications.
Voltage. Determine how much power you want from your drill. Mild to moderate users should do just fine with a 12 – 14 volt power drill, while moderate to heavy users should definitely opt for 14 – 18 volts. Of course your applications also play a role in the voltage you’ll require from a drill. If you use the tool every day but only for tightening the loose electrical outlet behind the back-door – you don’t necessarily need to invest in an 18 volt drill. Similarly, if you only use your drill once per year, but every time you use it you build a deck or a tree-house, you’ll want those 18 volts and a bigger, high-power/performance tool.
Knowing the features and inclusions you need and expect from your drill is a vital piece of the choosing process. For many people, a bare-bones screw gun is more than enough. Others require all the perks a tool can offer like reversing, variable speeds, a keyless chuck, or LED light (all of which are really good to have). Most industrial workers and frequent users prefer a drill that can make each job a bit easier, and for the most part, the more features you have on the drill, the more pleasant your working experience. Additionally, batteries, a tool bag, charger, and sometimes a bit extra are included in most drill kits. You may not need these things, but if you do, look for kits. Although they are initially more expensive than the tool alone, you’ll save money and stress in the long run.
Research brands to find which one meets the most of your needs. Here, there are a few things to consider; many craftsmen are already loyal to a specific brand, this shouldn’t stop you from cross checking other manufacturers to ensure your getting the most for your money. Additionally, not all tools or manufacturers are created equally; similar to most craftsman, many manufacturers have a particular forte, or a tool they build best – I tend to like Makita and Milwaukee for drills. Do a bit of searching and you’ll find a tool and manufacturer you like. This is important particularly if you buy cordless. Often you can use batteries interchangeably between tools of the same manufacturer. This helps you save money and certainly time if you have more than one battery.
After entertaining this bit of research, you should lay down a budget. It is far to easy to both under and over-spend when buying a drill. If you have a budget prepared before-hand you’re much more likely to keep your cool among super-sales and even a super-dazzling, but too expensive drill. Keep in mind that, in the world of power tools, you always get what you pay for; a cheap drill can fast turn into a bad, regretable investment. Likewise, a drill on the more expensive side might be too much for both your budget and your basic needs.
Finding a good warranty is another piece of this puzzle. Investing in a drill that includes a good warranty indicates its manufacturer has faith in their tools and their ability to do their jobs right; this kind of guarantee is always comfortable to work with. Most of the high-end manufacturers include a one year warranty on chargers, batteries and corded tools, and around three years on their cordless equipment. Its also worth noting here that Hitachi includes a ten year warranty on most of their cordless lithium-ion line.
Lastly, before you take the plunge, if you can, it’s good to hold the drill to ensure the tool is comfortable and functional in your hands. Personally meeting your tools before purchase is not always possible or necessary but is notheless worth considering.
Simply considering these few steps can be the difference between an unfufilling project and results that will impress for a life-time. Entertaining this simple bit of research will help you enjoy the right drill for years to come.

Hammer Drill or Hammer Drill Kit?
So, I know nothing about tools so I’m hoping that someone can help me out with this. I want to buy someone a hammer drill. I know he likes the brand DeWalt and prefers that it has a cord. He had pointed to one in a store once, model number DW511, but I don’t know if that’s the one he wants or just looked at it because it was the only one there at the time. Anyway, I was looking on DeWalt’s website and they have several different ones. My biggest confusion is not knowing what the difference between a Hammer Drill and a Hammer Drill Kit is. I don’t want to buy the wrong thing. Is there anyone who can recommend one?? And possibly explain the difference?? Thank you.
From what I can read from DeWalt’s site the only difference between the two is that the kit comes with a case, where the other would probably just come in a box.
You might want to try Home Depot or Lowes. Sometimes they’ve got the hammer drill kits that come with a bonus package of drill bits ($30.00 if you were to buy them separate), at no extra cost.
Hope this helps
