DEWALT DW2511 Rapid Load 26 Piece Drilling and Driving Set in Plastic Case

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

On the job site, time is money--and DeWalt's Rapid Load set is a great time- and, consequently, money-saver. Think about how many times you change bits a day, how many times you switch from drilling and screwing, how much time you spend rummaging around in your toolbox for the right bit. With DeWalt's Rapid Load, you can switch bits up to 50% faster, and the set attaches right to your belt, giving you easy access to bits at all times. The more we thought about this, the more we liked it. It's surprisingly convenient to be able to change drill accessories without having to rechuck (and we're as quick as anyone with a keyless chuck), and, thanks to the durable hex-shank locking system, bits simply don't slip. This 26-piece set fits any 3/8- or 1/2-inch drill, giving you an assortment of magnetic drivers, hex-shank bits, power-driver bits, and both Phillips and slotted-insert bits. For as little as it costs--and considering the time you'll save--it's a pretty no-nonsense investment. --Justin Paul

My initial impressions of the DeWalt Rapid Load Set was good. The kit is well stocked with the most important fittings for driling\driving and the components are high quality. However I was disappointed that I couldn't comfortably release components in the quick connector without using two hands. It feels awkward and combersome. I finally settled with the Craftsman "Speed-Lock" system. It has a true single hand operation of the quick connect tool and has a smaller diameter, which tends to not get in the way of the work!

This set is very poorly made, the drill bits break very easily.Also the quick change is way to big and it is a little hard to pull it out. The reason i gave it 3 stars is beacuse I like to use the socket adapter. And one more thing my set only came with one size of a slotted bit that didn't seem to fit any screws properly.

Having used the Craftsman version, DeWalt has managed to make more improvements on a good idea. Not having to unlock the adapter to insert components is a big plus. One adapter size for all components is another advantage. The Craftsman set has two adapters; more pieces add up to more aggravation. Great for the cabinet and furniture maker. Buy the pouch version and have all your bits at your fingertips. The best part is that it can be used with DeWalt's Self-Centering Drill & Drive system. Increased productivity at a great price.
