DEWALTFLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Cordless Drill For Concrete Mixing, E-Clutch System, Tool Only (DCD130B)

No doubt this is a heavy duty tool. It feels solid and I would not classify it as light. There is definite power packed within this battery operated tool, moreso than most others I have encountered. We may be stretching it a bit with the ‘buckets mixed per charge’ claim, but not by a whole lot. I got 15/17 on a brand new fully charged battery. What did surprise me is its geared down pretty far. I guess I was under the impression it would be able to achieve higher rpm’s than it does, but its probably ok for what its supposed to achieve.Overall its an excellent, solid and powerful mixing device for thinsets and concrete.

So far I have mixed approx 20 buckets of compound for texturing walls and ceilings for a basement remodel. I purchased this item after burning up two Dewalt 20V 980 series drills from mixing mud as well. Decided to step up to a larger model, slower speeds, and 60V system.Tons of power for mixing mud and with the very long extension handle, it makes controlling the drill easy. I run the 2.0AH FlexVolt batteries and it will last 10-15 buckets easily per charge. My batteries are not new, and I usually throw them back on the charge at lunch either way but will easily last an entire day if working with a one-two man crew and not a professional.The drill is large, so if you are storing it in a dewalt box system or similar, please take that into consideration. It will fit in the Dewalt Tool storage sliding drawers, but I just store mine in the included bag as I dont use it everyday unless in drywall mode.Great drill! Great price as a tool only kit!

Very strong, great drill !!!!!

Slightly quieter than the plug in version , works good !

This is the best mixer I ever use in my 20 years experience as a plasterer

This machine makes drilling for pre wires a joy. Its additional power, weight and size and the long side handle gives more control when handling longer larger auger bits. The DCD996 (RIP) has/had enough power for those also, but I found it was harder to control due to its shorter scale and less rigid clamshell. The mixer/drill allows me to distance myself further away from the work piece, which means I have better balance; reaching into tighter spots with longer augers. I also picked up a DCD796 which is a surprisingly good drill. Fits the DCD996 side handle and goes where the mixer/drill can't. The DCD996 is a great all rounder if I could only choose one drill. The DCD130 is just in another class, for the price, it wasn't much more than my Hitachi corded drill, but a massive improvement in safety and convenience. Time will tell if it last as long.My drill may have been a returned item as the chuck holes were dented, probably from the chuck key. The mixer drill seems a bit slower in reverse than in forward, though I haven't notice a lag in power. If it helps, I'm not a big person, around 145lbs 5ft8" and found this drill to be quite comfortable to use with a 9.0ah battery.

As always well made dewalt tool . Had to buy for using augers. Any other tool would break your wrist with use. Plenty slow and high torque

Bought to use as a replacement for my gas earth auger. Have been using it to dig holes for fence posts and planting trees. I am really liking this drill. It has so much power. Compared to the gas-powered auger that I was using, it is lighter and easier to use. I can get more work done with less effort using this compared to the gas powered auger. A definite plus is no fuel/fuel mix and no fumes in my face while using.Haven't used the drill for anything other than as an auger yet, but I look forward to seeing what else this thing can make easier for me.4/5 stars because it didn't come with the screw needed to attach the chuck holder to the drill. If you send me the screw, I'll change it to 5/5 stars.
