RE: Dewalt Cordless Tools - Indestructible?!!

in #homesteading6 years ago (edited)

Dad has mostly Dewalt tools and he has that Dewalt impact too. He doesn't want them out in the rain though. But that is so cool!

2 years outside and it's still working! Maybe it's a solar Dewalt impact? hehe

Maybe now we can just leave it outside and we don't have to worry about it if we forgot to bring it back in.

Sort:  

I wouldn't try leaving them out on purpose but they do seem to hold up well if they get wet. I have also dropped an impact drill in a mud puddle (not the same one) and it still works. Left a cordless circular saw out in the rain overnight too and it still works also!

If you ever get an electric tool wet it is best to remove the battery (or unplug if corded) and let them dry out for a couple days before trying them. The water could cause a short and fry something if electricity goes through it when wet.

Yeah...never "test out" their reliability/durability.

But good to know they can sometimes handle abuse.

Haha... Dont do on purpose. :-P
