Dewalt drill8/3/2023 ![]() Once it was in position and the clip was secure, using a pair of end cutters, I trimmed it to length. This was the quickest easiest was to ensure that the screw was evenly cut back.īefore the screw was cut all the way through I re-inserted it into the drill case. Then, with the drill running, I moved a saw blade along the screw to cut it back. I placed the screw into the chuck of a drill held in my workmate vise. When I checked the other side and saw that the screw protruded a very long way and would touch the motor. ![]() Next I mounted the clip, which uses a sort of keyhole method to enable it to go over the screw head and then slide down into place. I just used a brad awl to make the hole and then inserted in the retaining screw. Inside the case there was a moulded raised circle that seemed a great place to make the hole for the securing screw. I had actually done a little balancing test with the drill, before I disassembled it, to find the centre of gravity and therefore the best angle to have the belt clip. It is possible to buy genuine DeWalt clips for about $8 (£5) but I had a suitable clip from a broken tape measure that was ideal. I’ve kilBosch routers inside a year, so fuck them too.Many of the latest drills include a shiny belt clip and I wanted my new friend to have one too. My circle isn’t paying the bills with their tools they’re hobbyists/enthusiasts/homeowners with upper middle class incomes but there’s a fair number of us and if tools are failing under light to medium duty it gets noticed. I think there’s a good chance given a broader sample size you’ll find better success stories about dewalt but out of the circle of dewalt owners I know they’re scuffed, and they did it so badly I don’t know anyone who went back and bought the flex volt system or the 60v. To my understanding makita has moved a lot of production out of Japan, I won’t hold my breath on them harder than I have to. Milwaukee and Makita seem to still compete against each other but Milwaukee has a wider range of products that are compatible with their batteries.
