Nice Quality
Rating: 5
I bought this for use with smaller drill bits. My regular drill I've had for years just can't grip bits down to 1/16". This one will go even smaller. This is really a quality drill. Fit & finish is good with a quality feel. I actually prefer the old keyed chucks because they simply hold bits tighter. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have 4 other dewalt tools so I decided to get a corded drill. It's great. Not heavy and goes through anything with ease. My dad got me hooked on DeWalt as he hads a 1950's radial arm saw that is incredible. Long lasting. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Just right
Rating: 5
I bought this last spring because I was installing a safety fence around a pool. I had started using a competitor's comparable drill and it just wasn't getting it done and the chuck kept detaching. After about an hour and very little progress I returned that tool and exchanged it for the Dewalt model. I made very quick work of my project! I love the drill and will use it for years to come I am sure. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Very Disappointing
Rating: 1
Initially bought this item about 3 months ago. Very impressed at first at speed of drilling but after a few weeks I noticed it started throwing grease from the fwd bearing. Took it back to syore and they exchanged it for another. Second drill only lasted about 15 holes before it started throwing grease and chuck was hot to touch. Took it back to store and they gave me a refund. Said they don't exchange more than once. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
