This drill is very good, but there is a flaw. During my fifteen years as a professional locksmith, I have used many different type of drills. From the corded to the cordless, Milwaukee, Bosch, Maikita, and Black and Decker, always a different tool for...

Pros: Fast rpm's, hammer feature, overall balance, fan cooled motor, 2 batteries, great case, and many more.
Cons: They could make it with a little more torque

I bought this tool to replace many other drills I bought that did not work out. I have tried Skil, Makita, and Porter-Cable, and none of them match up with my Dewalt. I have had a string of bad luck in cordless drills until I bought this one, all the...

Pros: Good reliability, ease of use, Heavy duty power, portable

Dewalt 18 volt cordless Adjustable hammerdrill drill.

Pros: Undying power and wrist-hurting torque make this a serious tool when other drills fail
Cons: Perhaps too heavy for repeated drilling, but the tool of choice for big jobs

As a serious do it yourselfer, and one who just built his own house, I can fully recommend this tool for many reasons...with just a few crevats.

What makes this tool so good is what also makes you have to think first before you buy it. You...

Cons: many part replacements, expensive batteries that don't last long overall

My first 18v DeWalt drill was great - I beat the heck out of it for two years before I retired it and got my current DW997 model. It came with the newer XR batteries - they have longer runtime per charge BUT after less than 2 years they've both stopped ...

DeWalt, oh boy is it great. DeWalt is topping the charts in many areas of tool but, one of them is the cordless drill/driver. I bought this because DeWalt has preformed very well by my standards in many other tools. It also looked very appealing. The...

Cons: 24 volt model is only a few dollars more

I purchased this in the 4 pack along with a flashlight, circular saw and reciprocating saw. This drill is the best in the 18 volt class. It will handle any type of drilling. I use it primarily for cutting 1" holes in 2 x 4's for running...

Pros: 3 in 1
Cons: ?

This drill is one of the easiest drills to use that I have seen. The variable speed trigger is simple to use, you just squeese the trigger harder if you want the drill to go faster. There is no chuck key because of the fast one handed keyless chuck that...
