DCD760KL Pro Performance in A Lighter Weight Drill

I use multiple DeWalt DCD760KL, Makita & Milwaukee drills, all powered by lithium batteries. The DeWalt DCD760KL are the heaviest with their larger battery packs but this means a lot more holes or screws per charge. 
Recharge time is average with some like the Makita having a 15 minute charge time and a 30 minute cool down time, so in total they are all the same. 
The chucks on the DeWalt DCD760KL do the best job of gripping the arbor even when drilling in very hard material. 
They don't loosen up the way the Makita & Milwaukee chucks do which is great when working on an ladder as nothing falls out half way through the job.


DCD760KL Power is very great and& the drill has not problem with making 6" holes in subflooring if you use a great hole saw, like the Blue Boar TCT for example. 
Helps for really tough drilling to have one of the 3-speed DeWalt drills but for everyday tasks the lighter weight of this junior version is makes it the one I prefer to use.


The DCD760KL drill companies all recommend the lowest speed setting for drilling into wood and that is an excellent idea if you use old bi-metal hole saws, which in itself is a not good idea. 
With the more efficient TCT hole cutters I get better performance and smoother cutting action with the middle or high speed settings. 
I can get away with doing this because hole saws like the Blue Boar TCT take an third the power of the bi-metal hole saws.


BLUE BOAR 4-1/2" (114mm) Self-Feed TCT 2-1/4" deep multipurpose Tungsten Carbide hole cutter outperforms self-feed bits & bi-metal hole saws.
