Rugged, powerful, effective tool
Rating: 5
I own several 20V max DeWalt drills and the impact driver. Once I started using these for projects around the property, my other wired tools have remained in the cabinet. I wondered if battery-powered tools would have the capability and endurance to function effectively. I wonder no more. There is no job on which any of my DeWalt wireless tools have failed to perform. Since buying my first DeWalt drill And impact driver, I have added the sander, plunge cutter, and sawzall to my tool cabinet. It is SO nice to take these anywhere on the property without having to worry about wires and extension cords. Because there are no wires to tangle and present tripping hazards the job site is safer. Moreover, the battery packs and chargers are generally interchangeable. It is a delight to work with these tools and know they will function and fit the purpose. Furthermore the designs seem ergonomic; no struggling to balance or grip. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Compact
Rating: 5
I have a few other drills, but this one is impressive. I love the compact feel and being able to get into those tight corners. It packs a big punch for being compact. It's also light weight so arm fatigue doesn't set in.

This little guy is just super!
Rating: 5
I didn't know what I was missing until I bought this in a kit (charger, 2 batteries and a zip bag). It's light, powerful and the 2 speed transmission works very well. It has worked well for drilling both very light and thin woods and heavy work. It is so controllable that I've even used it for driving and setting very small screws in thin wood. I love this thing! All of my other drills are now gone. It's a bit early to judge the durability but so far I'm thinking it'll be functioning for a long time. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Best tool!
Rating: 5
In my line of work, this tool always comes in handy. I use mine everyday at work, and as well as at home. The compact 1/2 drill is lightweight and made well. I love the light feature that is on it for those tough to see spots to drill. I have always used this brand & always will. I will recommend this brand to all. Keep up the good job Dewalt!

The best
Rating: 5
I started with rigid, and graduated to Dewalt, I own every 20 volt tool you make, every clamp, hammer, chalk line, ect, I will never buy any brand other, not even for a tool box, if they made cars or trucks I'd buy that, I do think they should come out with a clothing line because die hards like me would not we're anything else, seriously, if you buy another tool it's not because it's better its because it's 10$ cheaper and you will eventually return it and purchase Dewalt [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Handles Any Job You Can Throw At It
Rating: 5
I love this Drill! It can handle any job you can throw at. I use mine from working on my motorcycle to our kitchen remodel. The battery's last all day regardless of how much I use it. I have mine for awhile now and no signs of it slowing down even with the work I have put it through these last few weeks. When the days come to replace it, it will definitely be with another Dewalt!

Lightweight, convenient to use
Rating: 5
This was my first cordless tool purchase. It has made my home projects so much easier! I would avoid doing them dreading having to get the extension cords out for a small project. Now, I just grab it and I'm ready. The light is handy to help see. I've used it to drill in brick, change door hinges quickly and easily, clean grease spots out of carpet with a brush attachment. Wish I had gotten it sooner. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Performance meets precision
Rating: 5
I am consistently impressed with the quality and performance of this drill, I use it everyday with a flexvolt 60v 9mah battery and have never had one issue with this drill or literally any DeWalt products that I own. I am a DeWalt customer for life! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought this a couple of moths ago and it was working fine. Now it blows allot of smoke when I use it and it smells like it's burning [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Stopped working the first time!
Rating: 1
I was thrilled to buy this drill: I'd borrowed a friend's, and it was so much better than my old drill. So, I bought one for myself. It's emitting a short high beep and refusing to function. I've put in 18 1/4 in screws, and drilled 18 1/8 holes, all in pine. NOT hard stuff. It's refusing to do anything but beep at me. There are no notes in the manual on this function, either. Brand. Spanking. New. So frustrated.

Absolutely Love it
Rating: 5
I bought this for small shop projects, and it has performed excellent. The ToughSystem Case is just amazing, and I love the storage. I can have everything I need in one kit! Variable speed on the impact driver is just amazing, and the drill works so well. Although I have had a few problems with the driver's trigger sticking, that is only when I pull it at a weird angle, and is easily fixed by a quick grip adjust.

Best Brushless Drill I have ever owned
Rating: 5
I have had my drill about a year and a half, and I have only charged one of the two battery once they hold a charge like no other. I will not own any other than a DeWalt [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The new workhorse!
Rating: 5
Bought this as I thought my 18 volt XR drill/driver was going bad. Used it a few times to make sure it worked well. It did. Bought the 18 volt to 20 volt battery adaptor versus buying new 18 volt batteries and found the 18 volt XR drill/driver is still working fine,the 18 volt batteries were just getting weak. This new daddy will stay in its case a while longer as the 18 volt unit is running like a fine watch now with its 20 volt 5 AH battery.

Simply, Put Outstanding!
Rating: 5
The battery life is second to none. I can do much work between charges. It has plenty of turning power for any purpose, and the three-speed transmission is a great extra to control speed. I bought mine with several matching accessories and I find them all useful.

Bought this about 2 months ago! And it’s amazing. Works fast and easy, no fuzz. Drilling holes in large wood beams was a breeze and the speed was unexpected. Great tool great battery time. FYI bought one as a gift for my father as well! Loves it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Has stood the test of time!

I have had my drill for some time & also another competitors drill, I always go back to "yellow jacket" as it sting can not be beat! Even with heavy daily workloads the drill & battery out perform any other drill/battery that I've had. I will always choose dewalt! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

We use dewalt products at work and they’re amazing. I needed a good drill/driver for home use and I knew that dewalt would provide a quality product. I couldn’t be happier. Tons of power and great battery life. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
