DEWALT8V MAX Cordless Screwdriver Kit, Gyroscopic, 2 Batteries and Charger Included (DCF680N2)

I wasn't sure that I would like this with the gyroscopic control, but now that I've had it a few years (bought in 2022) and used it pretty frequently I'm a big fan. The gyroscopic control is very sensitive and quickly becomes quite intuitive, so you can easily control it from very slow gently controlled action for lightweight and delicate materials, up to full speed quick action for installing or removing multiple long screws or bolts. The rotation options for the handle are a nice feature, I usually have it in the right angle mode as that gives me better torque and feels more controlled, but turning it to the straight orientation of the handle works just fine as well. I really like that it has a range of responsiveness, so I can easily control slow turns as well as bumping it up to full speed with just a slight flick of the wrist. The controlling motion of your hand is quite subtle so even in tight quarters it responds nicely. I really noticed this after I got a simple electric screwdriver that is more basic and just has two buttons--clockwise or counterclockwise--and does not have any speed control, when you push the button it goes full speed so I really noticed that is terrible for controlling small screws in delicate materials where stripping out the threads is a greater risk. The two small batteries for this DeWalt have solid lifespan with normal household DIYer use, I don't use this for a daily high-use business so I can't really comment on that with any personal knowledge.The little features as well like the position of the light is good for seeing the working end in dark spots, and the little bit holder works quite well also with metal components that hold the bits securely and will hold up over time. Solid build quality overall for this grade of a tool.Bottom line, I really like this and would buy it again.

Works as described, I've had it for a little while now and have used it more than my regular screwdriver set! It feels nice in the hands and is of good quality! It fits nicely in my average size hands and the magnetic bit holder works as you would expect it to. I find the value great as it saved me lots of time building an IKEA night stand and desk. My wrist was not sore whatsoever and after building those two items, it is still holding it's charge! I like this one better than they gryo version I previously had by a mile!

I love this electric screwdriver, and highly recommend it!Though I purchased the previous (gyroscopic) version a year ago, I ordered this one because I’d misplaced the charger…. (Found it a week later.)The previous version required you to turn your wrist like you were twisting the accelerator on a motorcycle, and could get uncomfortable.This new model only requires you push up on the collet ring while holding the handle still, and it’s easy to do with your thumb or finger.A 6-level torque adjustment, and 4 lights versus only one on last year’s version, are worthy upgrades. The lights are perfect; so useful, with no shadows around the bit or work area.There are 12 assorted quick-change bits included, which are useful. If there was anything I’d complain about, it would be that there are only 2 “square” or “Robertson” bits. Being so close to the Canadian market (where they are extremely popular for ease of use), I would have appreciated more of the main sizes: 0, 1, 2, 3, & 4.Finally, there’s no charger to lose or misplace; any USB cord will suffice.If you only buy one lightweight electric screwdriver, you won’t be disappointed with this one!

The DCF682 VS the DCF680 .Ok, in general, I really like the 8v Max Gyro Tools.I hope they add more than the flashlight to the line.My minor beef comes with the DCF682.Before I bought the DCF682 , I own and have been using 2 DCF680's .The 39bux sale at HD caused me to buy the DCF682 w/o looking to closely..Here's my review from the DCF680, that compares the two...----------------------When I 1st saw B&D come out with the little gyro driver a few years ago and saw the write ups, thought interesting, but no removable battery, it'll be out for that xmas and that's it, I wasn't willing to look at it any closer than the adds.Than the DCF680(N2)(N2 is 2 battery kit) came out with the removable battery, two batteries, charger, and respectable torque for a "screw driver" type tool.The great light was discussed on the reviews... I was sold.After reading, took the plunge last year, used it, loved it, and than bought another one for my other tool bag.yea, takes a bit of getting use to, took me about 10mins and I was very use to it.I find it very intuitive.I find the battery life to be more than acceptable, really haven't needed the 2nd battery before a job was over.The light circle "bar" on the end is great (there is two LEDS in there , 180 degrees from each other, and the light bezel/lens produces a very nice diffused light ring from the two LEDs).The hex driver QDC collar is easy.I use them for the small stuff.I have 12v and 18v tools for the big and bigger jobs, and corded for the biggest jobs.USES,,,,,outlet / switch plates, installing light fixtures into a present electrical box.Network plates.I have a set of hex end drill bits, for installing mollies or blinds, to drill a required holes in sheetrock or window trim.I just bought a 3rd DCF680 for my electronics bench,....But truth be told... that was after buying the new version from HD.... the DCF682.I saw the HD sale, and threw it into my basket w/o looking to closely.I was tired of stealing the DCF680 from my field tool bag, for use on my bench.The DCF682 is what made me write this review.The DCF682 :- does not have the changeable grip (not the deal breaker for me)- does not have the clutch (deal breaker)- does not have the great light ring - just 1 led, that causes shadows (deal breaker).- comes with 1 battery (not a deal breaker, but w/o the sale price VS the DCF680N2, leaves the DCF682 with the other features missing not such a great value , at the sale price, take it for what it is)Very disappointing . I should have just returned it.But thought it usable w/o the clutch as a small pilot hole pocket drill. (wood / sheet rock).Again , the basic gyro guts work just fine.The new DCF682 (normally 69bux, now on sale for 39bux @ HD, the sale is why I bought it, but didn't look close enough to be honest), they only use 1 led that causes shadows on the target.. PIA.And no clutch...both deal killers on the bench, need the clutch and the light, or more so, I appreciated the light on the DCF680 and was looking forward to it.After using it for an hour doing some dissassembly and assembly work at my electronics bench, I was so disappointed with the lack of the features (not the torque, the torque is fine - it does call for the clutch), I ordered my third DCF680 for the electronics bench.So I put the new DCF682 into my other tool bag, I'll use it as a pilot hole driller for mollies and small stuff.I hate changing bits, even though the collar is easy enough, I'm all thumbs and drop bit all the time between changes.-----------So with the sale at HD for 39bux for the DCF682, take it for what it is.At the sale price it's 1/2 the price of the DCF680N2.Worth trying (again, I like the 8V max gryo tools)But there is no way the DCF682 should be at a 69bux price point. Just not worth it, IMHO.Since the DCF680N2 is only 20bux more.Ignoring the features the DCF682 is lacking, ..... the basic gyro 8v max guts, it works the same as it's brother that cost 20bux more.For the normal 69bux price for the DCF682 =- no way. For the extra 20bux, the features of the DCF680 makes it a better tool , as well the DCF680 includes a 2nd battery !Summary, basic operation, the DCF682 and the DCF680 work the same, I like the 8v max gyro.But, sale price of the DCF682 aside...with normal retail prices....for the extra 20bux for the DCF680 (the N2 version) you get.- A far better light ring VS 1 dim led of the DCF682.- A great clutch.- Switchable grip, good for the tight spots.- a 2nd battery.- tool bag.

Super handy tool to have. I just moved my family into a house from a townhouse and this thing has been my right hand man multiple times a day everyday for the last couple of weeks. Totally worth it and much easier to carry around than a drill.
