How about a lag bolt driving contest? Get some 5/16 or 3/8 lags with washers so you don't bury the bolt head.

I'll get it up tomorrow night. This is also my new DC827, the third one in my collection. I just noticed that the switch has been upgraded in my new one vs my old one. http://www.dewaltownersgroup.com/pics/DC8272.jpghttp://www.dewaltownersgroup.com/pics/MakitaBTD142_3.jpg |

How about some testing of durability and longevity. I have been purchasing DeWalt hammer drills for an industrial maintenance department, and am very disappointed in the clutch/torque adjustment durability, compared to other brands.  |

That's a tough one to do on a forum.... All you can really go by are people's honest opinions and experience. I can tell you that the DCD950's clutch, and hammer components are far more durable and better built than the DC988, DC927, and the DC925.

I've put one together, but youtube won't allow video's over 10 minutes. So I'll have to shrink the video down.

I think the Dewalt should easily beat the Makita since the Mak battery is a small 1.5ah. The full size 3.0ah batteries should be a closer match. In that case the Makita might beat the Dewalt. I also have both of these units, only My Makita is the BTD140 which is otherwise the same tool but with the blue clamshell. I got virtually identical results in the speed tests. The Dewalt is definately faster by a little. Nevertheless I find myself using the Makita more simply because I can use small batteries, it's a fair bit lighter and the LED staying on without holding the trigger is a lot more convinient when aligning bits in dark areas. I really wish dewalt would make a compact lithium battery and have the led stay on.

The larger 3.0 makita battery only increases weight and runtime. A larger Ah battery does not increase power. 18v is 18v. Unless you meant trying the BTD141 (140) instead of the BTD142. The Dewalt DC827 has 1330 in lbs of torque, and the BTD141 has 1330 in lbs of torque as well. The BTD142 has 1280 in lbs of torque. But remember that the Ridgid R86030 had 1400 in lbs of torque, and the Dewalt DC827 still outperformed it. That being said, the Dewalt DC827 vs the Makita BTD142 was pretty close, which leaves me to believe that the BTD141 vs the DC827 would be nearly neck to neck. I've got a BTD142 coming in the mail, and I will be posting up some results in the near future.
As far as weight goes, the difference between the Dewalt DC827 and the Makita BTD142 is 2oz. That is using the Dewalt DC9180 XRP lithium Ion battery, and the Makita 3.0 battery. The 1.5 Makita battery does not fit on any other Makita tool, unless it's white.
