With a battery, it’s still lighter than the DCF610 bare at just 1.98 pounds. Without a battery, the tool only weighs 1.5 pounds-11 ounces lighter than the previous model. With a compact 2.0Ah battery, the tool stands 8.4″ tall with a 4.8″ head length. We touched on the compact design of the DeWalt DCF601B already, but let’s take it a little farther. The DeWalt 12V brushless screwdriver has a 15+1 clutch design, giving you more control when you need it. What you don’t get with the compact design of an impact driver is much driving depth control. With a sharp bit, that shouldn’t be an issue if it lets you drill a hole where a longer tool won’t. You just need to plan on drilling more slowly than normal. There’s enough power in this screwdriver to use a reasonable range of drill bits in tight spots as well. Even though this screwdriver has a 1/4″ hex collet for holding driver bits, there are plenty of drill bits with 1/4″ hex shanks. With the idea that we’re looking at more control for fastening, it’s not a surprise to see it well under the brushless drill’s 1500 RPM (the brushed drill also has 1500 RPM).īut let’s toss one more log in the fire. The DeWalt 12V brushless screwdriver maxes out at 1100 RPM. To put that in perspective, the new 12V brushless drill has 250 UWO and the previous brushed drill had 189 UWO. That’s an increase of 25% over the previous model. Typically, you’re working with smaller fasteners or more delicate materials.Įven so, DeWalt still puts 200 UWO of power in the motor. The whole reason you reach for a 1/4″ hex screwdriver is to save space without the violence of an impact driver. Few cordless drivers other than a right angle drill driver can get much tighter.ĭeWalt helps you out even more by ensuring the 1/4″ collet accepts 1″ bits, leaving only the last 5/16″ of bit exposed. That’ll get you into some pretty tight spaces. The DeWalt DCF601B drops all the way down to 4.8″, even shorter than the new impact driver. That’s long enough that it might as well have been a standard drill. The previous model (DCF610) measured 6.25″ long. Like the new 12V brushless impact driver, the DeWalt 12V brushless screwdriver makes incredible improvements in size. It does its best work on precision fastening and is also capable of light drilling in spots that are tough for a standard drill driver. This is an excellent choice for cabinetry and woodworking, where control is more important than flat-out speed. The DeWalt DCF601B brushless screwdriver continues the trend with a tool that can both drill and drive in tighter spaces than just about anything other than a right angle drill. DeWalt’s Xtreme Compact line is crushing it with top-end 12V performance and legitimately compact designs.
