Dewalt DCD785C2 Cordless Hammer Drill kit with DWMT73804 Socket Set

Over at Amazon, they have some tool deals of the day today, 5/30/2017.

To start, there’s a Dewalt bundle, with a DCD785C2 20V Max cordless hammer drill kit, and a DWMT73804 1/4″ and 3/8″ drive socket set.

The bundle is priced at $153, which Amazon says is $84 less than if you were to buy them separately.

Deal ends at 3am ET 5/31/2017, unless supplies sell out sooner.

This is a reasonably good deal, but not one I’d be terribly interested in. If you don’t need the hammer drill functionality, instead consider this brushless drill kit for $99. The DCD777 is an entry-level compact brushless drill, but it nearly matches up to the DCD785.

The DCD777 brushless drill is rated to 340 UWO (unit watts out), which is 97.1% of the 350 UWO rating for the DCD785. It’s a little slower, with 1,750 RPM max speed compared to the DCD785’s 2,000 RPM.

Aside from the brushless motor aspect, the DCD777 also benefits from drawing upon several years of market advancements. The DCD785 was among the first tools Dewalt launched as part of the 20V Max Li-ion cordless power tool lineup.

The socket set is $38 by itself, and also eligible for the current $20 off $100+ promo.

Long story short, the DCD785C2 plus socket set IS a good deal at $153, but in the context of what else is out there, it’s not the best deal if you can live without the hammer drill functionality. If you do need a compact hammer drill, this deal of the day looks to be the best Dewalt buy I can find.

Yost Vises and Clamps

Yost 445 Utility Bench Vise

There are some Yost vises on sale today too, plus pipe clamps.

Their woodworking vise caught my attention in particular, as it looks like a quick and easy addition to a workbench, as opposed to some other styles that have more involved installation requirements.

Unfortunately, none of Yost’s USA-made vises appear to be on sale.

Yost Parallel Clamp

Some Yost bar clamps and parallel clamps are also on sale. I’m not sure what to think about them, but they look somewhat generic. A quick search turns up the OEM (or another brand that shares the OEM), but that’s not surprising.

I’m curious to see if these clamps are any good, but no curious enough to be the guinea pig.

    Clamps look just like the red bessey ones(4 footers) I got at the big box. It’s ok, a little difficult to set/screw just right (sometimes it doesn’t grip when you start screwing so it just screws but doesn’t tighten). Would be interesting to see if it tightens better. The grip piece is reversible I think right, for either direction?

    I do like the pads over the smaller metal feet that the older clamp styles have which guarantee a dent.

    “Their woodworking vise caught my attention in particular, as it looks like a quick and easy addition to a workbench, as opposed to some other styles that have more involved installation requirements.”

    There seem to be quite as few “woodworking vises” of this general style that can be relatively simple to install – particularly as a end vise . These vises are normally fitted with its shop-made hardwood faces, covering the iron jaws. Many woodworkers when installing the vise – will cut a recess into the bench top allowing the rear jaw face to align flush with the face (side) or even end for the bench. This allows you to use the face of the bench as added clamping/support surface for long pieces.

    Somebody help me out? I am trying to choose between this DeWalt DCD785 or the Ryobi P1813 reviewed here:

    https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/ryobi-brushless-hammer-drill/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E

    The Ryobi has great specs, but I don’t know how to compare it to DeWalt’s UWO (why do they do that?) Torque and power (watts) are two different things. They cost about the same with this deal. I don’t really need more sockets, but I do need a hammer drill. Let’s put aside the question of battery ecosystem out of it for now. I am willing to start a new system now.

    Any thoughts?

      Personally i’d choose the Ryobi. I would bet the ryobi has more power than this dewalt as it’s their lowest end hammer drill. Not to mention IF you wanted you could also buy the ryobi rotary hammer for $99 which would speed up any concrete install. Granted it’s only a sds+ but every sds+ i’ve ever used has been WAY faster than any hammer drill.

        Thanks! I decided to go that way.

    I calculated the torque of the 777 to be 380 inch lbs.
    The Ryobi has 750 inch lbs…no contest in my book. Go with the Ryobi!

      Thanks! How did you compute that? Didn’t you have to assume something?

      And did you mean the 785, not the 777? The 785 is the hammer drill, the 777 is not. I am shopping for a hammer drill.

      That is quite a difference. It is almost hard to believe, in fact. Do people have any experience with the Ryobi?

    The Ryobi has 85nm torque and the Dewalt has 60nm torque if that helps any.

      My apologies, I quoted figures for the DCD785.

        Not at all! The DCD785 is the one I am looking at, as part of the deal Stuart mentioned. Where did you get those figures? DeWalt seems stuck on giving power ratings, not torque ratings.

    Seems there’s a hidden deal on HomeDepot right now, if you add Dewalt tools into cart you get 10% off automatically, and it can stack on other deals like 20 off when you spend 100 on Dewalt.

    Plus the 20/100 deal also works for all tstak product, which is not the case in Amazon.

    Unusual clamp. I’m trying to comprehend how it functions.

      it’s reversed in the pick. Some clamps are reversible so they can ‘spread’ and ‘clamp’. I think that is what’s going on.
