TPC OR PDC ? BOTH???

[WAKA2020]

Have the PDC and TID set for a while, love it. Like others said, nothing special on TID but really comfortable to use; PDC gives you anything and everything daily use, just bit of heavy (for me).
The TPC will release soon in March(North America) really like the brake, should go for the TPC just because of that.

Now here is the question, should I keep both? or just buy the BASIC TPC?

TPC is just as big and heavy as the PDC. That said if it were me I wouldn't hang on to the PDC.

Any reason why? Just curious. I have the PDC and weighing a TPC switch but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TPC is a "tuned" PDC. No qualitative changes and minor quantitative ones.

It has a slightly lower gearing for 3600 versus 3800 top speed. Making it a bit more balanced drill. But, again, nothing substantial.

On torque, it is still no competitor to the 100+Nm torque monsters Makita/Dewalt etc. have. If one needs more torque than PDC has, IMO it is better to add e.g. that 115Nm Makita monster than upgrade to the TPC .. and come to hate the safety torque break ..

The only real reason to "upgrade" I can imagine is if you have a personal peeve with the speed selector on the PDC. It is not ideal and some hate it. I do not.

I would buy a new TDC (TPC in US) in a hearbeat though - had I not had the DRC. Its top speed makes it my go-to drill.

Actually, my only "itching"point is the brake, hoho.
Just touch, played with it today. Did not pull my trigger. PDC is more than enough for me.

Thanks for the reply.
