Re: dewalt motor VS. CIM motor

The dewalts that were included with previous years kits, as I remember, were of a slightly higher wattage than the small CIM, somewhere in the 20-50 watt range. Its wattage was in the mid to high 300's.

As far as power goes, the drill has a bit more juice, but will experience greater wear and subsequent loss in power much quicker than the CIM motor, which has much greater mass and will absorb abuse better.
