    Daddy bought a new toy!

    Nothing fancy, but I thought I would share it and give a quick review. I have been focusing a lot on computer recycling this past month and really saw a need for a new cordless screw driver. I have a Ryobi drill which has been great, but lets face it, breaking computers down for several hours with a full size cordless drill can take a toll on your hands and wrists. I settled on a Dewalt DCS610. Im not being biased at all. I am sure the other companies have great screwdrivers as well but this one seemed to feel most comfortable in my hands. Nice, light weight, has 3 led lights for seeing in dark areas with no "shadowing". Plenty of power and I really like that it has an adjustable clutch and a quick release for quick bit changing. I used it for about 2 hours this evening and I am very impressed so far. I took some quick pics just to show size difference. I keep the Ryobi handy with a torx bit for the hard drive boards so I dont have to keep changing out bits. Payed $117.00 plus tax at Home Depot. Ill keep you guy posted as time goes on!

    Nice toy can I borrow it for awhile, my pneumatic impact driver has the same quick change bit holder that your DeWalt has.

    i want to get one of the smaller 12v dewalts. i bought the 20v with the 1.5amp battery, and its actually very light. but the smaller one will be very handy!

    Did you consider the Ryobi 12v that looks similar to Dewalt? If you did why did you choose the Dewalt over it? I am intend to buy the Ryobi for the same reasons you got the Dewalt, Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    thats why I got the 12volt ryobi, the 18 volt was too heavy.

    I like how your drill has the LED lights, much better than holding a flashlight in your teeth to see when its dark out or in deep recesses!

    Thanks for the review!
