 Solid, powerful drill August 15, 2010
By Amadeuz
As a matter of full disclosure, I am using this drill as a DIY homeowner on minor projects. This drill was my upgrade into the world of pro-grade power tools from a cheapo 14.4V Black & Decker drill. I upgraded primarily because I was frustrated by having to drill pilot holes for lag screws all the time due to the lack of power. Furthermore, my former so-called variable speed drill only had two speeds, namely 400 or 800 rpm, nothing in between so I was constantly stripping screw heads. After doing some serious research into Makita, Milwaukee, Hitachi, and Dewalt, I chose Dewalt. Why? Because of the power and construction of the tool. Dewalt uses its own measurement of torque (Unit Watts Out) whereas most other companies list max torque in ft-lbs. In my opinion, I best equate UWO to the amplifier rating in audio receivers. In receivers, many companies list their amplifier rating with only one channel driven. Rarely do companies list amplifier rating with all channels driven. UWO, to me, is Dewalt's real world sustained torque rating like all channels driven in an amplifier. So for this drill, although Dewalt lists it at 410 UWO, I think this probably equates to nearly peak torque of at least 450 ft lbs if not more. Also, I really liked the fact that Dewalt uses all-metal gears and it has solid magnet construction in its motor.

For whatever reason, although most companies have wholeheartedly embraced the Lion technology, Dewalt has chose to slowly move into it and, thus, still has a large portion of tools with NiCd batteries. I really debated about the whole NiCd v Lion thing. But really, for my purposes, I doubt I will be using the drill so much that I will use up 2 batteries. I really think having a back-up battery negates the charge time issue.... Read more ›

Great Tool May 14, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase

Had this drill for a year and a half now no problems and it has worked great. Battery lasts a through a decent amount of work and charges back up quick. The LED light is helpful is low light situations.

Not the "Next Big Thing" but the next best. October 10, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase

OK, Dewalt has a new 20V Lithium series of tools...pricey and no discounts. So the 18V NiCad line is selling for 1/2 price. What more could you want? This kit with two batteries is probably the last drill I'll ever need. The one-hand chuck is great and the torque settings are for real...no more snapping off sheetrock screws! And the charger(or the battery?)is intelligent: Full useable charge in about 2-hours, but leave the battery in the stand and it equalizes the charge across all the cells. No more quick drain syndrome. My only gripe is that there's zero space for drills or acccessories in the case.
