What is atomic drill DeWalt?
DCD708B ATOMIC 20V MAX* Brushless Cordless Compact 1/2 in. Drill/Driver (Tool Only) front to back, this Compact Brushless Drill/Driver features a high performance brushless motor that delivers 340 unit watts outs (UWO). Its LED provides optimum illumination in dark spaces.
What is the difference between a brushless drill and a regular drill?
The main difference between brushless or brushed drill motors is that the brushed variants are made of carbon while the brushless units use magnets to generate power. For this reason, brushless motors are better adapted, generate no friction, produce less heating and provide better performance.
What is the advantage of brushless power tools?
Brushless power tools, in general, are the higher performing tools. Removing the brushes from the motor means less friction. That means you lose less energy in friction and heat, and more energy goes into creating higher torque. Brushless motors also have less wearable parts leading to longer durability.
Are DeWalt atomic tools brushless?
The ATOMIC™ Drill/Driver and Impact Driver come equipped with efficient brushless motors that deliver long runtime, LED work lights for visibility in dark workspaces, variable speed triggers, and adjustable belt hooks for left or right attachment.
Is Dewalt atomic the same as XR?
It uses the same 20V MAX battery packs that the well-known XR line of tools uses, but the Atomic line promises a sleeker experience with more compact tools. The Atomic line isn't as diverse as the XR line. You can find cheaper tools in the XR line, but they'll be less powerful and larger than the Atomic tools.
Are Dewalt atomic batteries interchangeable?
Standard DEWALT 20 volt batteries are compatible with all 20-volt tools, as well as all 20-volt chargers. This means that once you join the DEWALT platform, you have access to over 100 products that all use the same battery technology.
Are Dewalt atomic and XR batteries interchangeable?
The XR line of batteries according to DeWalt last 33% longer than the 20v "max" line of batteries of the same size. XR tools and XR batteries are two totally different things. XR tools and batteries are the top of the line and are interchangeable with the "max" line of tools and batteries.
