Hi Guys, Just wanted to share my joy of buying my first ever cordless drill. I've recently been getting by on an old very well used hitachi cord drill hand-me-down) , which hasn't been pleasent when chaging over drill bits and the like especially when it takes 2-5 minutes to get the chuck tightener out of the chuck

Anyway i purchased a new Dewalt XRP 925 and battery for $230 delivered. It took around 10 days to arrive. I ended up buying 4 drills and battery for my neighbour and 2 mates so $920 in total.
I fired it up 2nite and sounds fantastic, only problem is i have nothing to drill yet and it seem to be interrupting the wife's tv viewing

.

I'll be finishing off my merbau and brush fence this weekend so it shoudl be a great test.

You wont be disapointed its a great drill, I to bought one from america and it worked great for 4 months of every day use then the gears burnt out while driving some bolts doing stud flooring work. Anyway long story short I had to buy another one as these US models dont come with a warrenty. This time I bought one of ebay from melbourne for $250 brand new with australian 3 year warrenty

I was thinking of buying the australian model with the warranty, but hopefully i won't have any issues. It's only going to be used for basic DIY stuff atm so it should last a while.

I too have a DC925...just wondering if any of you guys had a problem with the torque setting? When I set the torque control collar to #1, the torque seemed to be very strong. I countersank a #6 screw while putting together a shelf. I had to be very careful inserting a self screwing drywall screw. While using the drill..the torque was so powerful that it stripped the drywall screw where one would insert a philips head.

I had the gear set at the 2 position. Shouldn't the torque control limit the drill for this purpose..especially at #1.
