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.

Durable drill
Rating: 5
Once I recieved my drill I read over the instructions and began charging one of the batteries. The first thing I noticed was something I had never seen before, a "damage" indicator. It lets you know if the battery is damaged so it takes the guess work out of reasons why the battery wouldn't be charging. In a short time the indicator said it was ready to use. My first project was to hang a couple of fire extinguishers I had sitting around because all I had was a heavy cord drill. The screws went in with ease. The drill is very lightweight, quiet and yet powerful. This is a great addition to my power tool collection. And don't forget you don't have to wait for the battery to charge, because it comes with a spare!

This is a great drill
Rating: 5
This drill works really well and fast. It has a brushless motor which causes it to be able to run for a really long time. It is light weight and relatively compact so it fits into tight corners which is helpful when trying to fix things around the house. It runs for a long time . It uses 2 Lithium ion batteries which are included in the box. It also comes with a charger. Overall, it's a great drill for a house owner to have to be able to fix things and do simple building projects.

So easy to use
Rating: 5
I am deathly afraid of power tools of any kind so me using a drill was a surpise to me and everyone else. I was so afraid to use it, but it was easier to use than I expected. The drill bits from were easy to find and purchase for drilling (It only comes with the screwdriver bit) but the bits aren't expensive, and I just needed to hang curtain rods so it wasn't major (boyfriend went overboard and bought lots). Two batteries are awesome. I heard the drill going for a while in back when they were fixing the gutters. Now we don't have to borrow the neighbor's anymore. Recharging is easy and doesn't take very long. Neighbor is a construction worker and he loves it, he didn't want to give it back. I'd say that is a positive recommendation for it in my book any day.

Five Stars
Rating: 5
Every carpenter I have seen at the renovation at my home had this brand. The grips felt good in my hand giving me a good grip on the drill. Really enjoy this drill. Light, strong, and very user friendly. Excellent tool. Well made. Very powerful. The batteries last long between charges. It is driven by a brushless motor. Very smooth and efficient.Great drill. I use this drill constantly in the winter with roto brushes when tuning race skis. The two included batteries allows for continual use. Good power and speed. The power control is excellent. It can carefully and slowly rotate with precision or drill away at high speed. I used the drill to build furniture, drill holes in walls, etc. Came with 2 batteries and a nice charger that shows when a battery is full. The LED built into the drill body is pretty bright. Definitely adequate to see what you are drilling even in total darkness. Adds a nice additional amount of light even when working in daylight that helps in shadows. Over all I am very pleased with the drill. More than enough power to get the job done for household stuff. Battery lasts for a long time. I charge it after using I for a dozen little jobs.Easy to operate and get the job done. I highly recommended this product

This is a high-quality drill that feels comfortable in my hand and has the power to get the job done. It includes batteries, a charger, and a bit, so you have everything you need to get started! I am a Walmart associate writing this review as part of a contest.

Easy to use and plenty of power
Rating: 5
I am always nervous about limited torque in a cordless drill. This one has plenty of torque and was really easy to see up and charge. The unit is lightweight and sturdy. I also appreciate how quickly it chatges.

Great Improvement
Rating: 5
I used to use corded Porter Cable products years ago and they never failed me. I am now upgrading my power tools to the recent line of 20v Porter Cable. This driver is by far much better than expected and so far I'm going on 3 weeks on a single charge, (20V 4Ah battery). Great job Porter Cable.

Good drill for the diy
Rating: 4
I have several porter cable drills and this one is just as good in performance. The battery that comes with it is smaller than the other drills I have but it is brushless and seems to have more power. The 2 speed and torque settings are good and the keyless check works well. The battery life is good. The only thing I would like to have on it is a battery level indicator. Great product.
