Dewalt model# DCD771 20v max cordless compact with 4 amp lithium batteries.
Be sure its on drill and not a number for screws. Mine did the same thing. It will drill and put decking screw in no problem, but wont turn auger.
Wait up, I only tried it with the drill with one hole attempt before I put the drill away but I put it on one of the numbers on the drill and that's it. Never tried the drill setting. Is that the problem?
Yup I got it, thank you everyone. Had it on the highest number and tried it once and gave up just because I didn't want to mess anything up since I just got it, didn't push it. I will look into a better drill but now that I just purchased 2 new dewalt batteries I guess I'll be looking at a dewalt brand driver. Hope I don't have any issues with the dewalt brand. Most my tools are a mix, Milwaukee, bosch, makita and dewalt but all corded believe or not because I'm old school. That dewalt drill is the only battery operated tool I have. Even my other makita drill is corded.
I believe the 991 will be just fine has the UWO you need ..subscribe to the Emails of the various tool outlets ..lots of deals/codes from time to time .
Well guess that will be my next purchase. Heard some mixed reviews on dewalt chucks coming loose in different applications. Sucks b/c I got battery power for tools. Was thinking about a Milwaukee drill but don't feel like purchasing one unless I get a good deal on one.
I would think that 991 is all I would need. If I went with the hammer drill version guess there would be a chance that I could drill with my nils auger and damage the cutting head if I were to accidentally have it in hammer mode and not drill mode?
Like every one is saying, not all drill, screw guns are created equal. It takes a lot to turn an auger. I went with the Milwaukee, and a 6 inch lazer.. I know everyone herd this , but i got to say it, dont bang the auger on the ice. You will chip the blades. Sorry, im in Pa and only drilled one hold this year. im going nuts. Good luck, stay safe.
