Great quality and performance drill

High quality drill kit here. It feels nice in the hand. Good balance. Bag is perfect size and not cheap looking which is a plus. Two batteries is convenient. More than enough power for home or garage projects. For price of $100 you do really get your monies worth. 90 day money back guarantee and a limited 3 year warranty is appreciated. Worth buying. I can totally recommend this drill at this price.

It has worked great! We used it to drill into our concrete ...

I bought this drill for projects around the house. It has worked great! We used it to drill into our concrete walls to hang a coat rack, and didn't have any problem at all.

I love Dewalt and try and keep all of my purchases ...

I have no complaints so far. I have found that this 20v has more power than my 18v and has held a charge for 6 hours of hard work. I love Dewalt and try and keep all of my purchases with them. I like the lighter weight this has compared to others. I made sure before mounting the batteries to charge them fully. You do have to make sure the battery light comes on so you know you have contact with the charger. The light on this one stays on for about 15 seconds after you depress the trigger. I thought mine had a defect until I read the instructions. Over all I made a terrific choice again with a Dewalt product.

Project completion perfect!

Father's Day gift for my husband and he LOVES it! He's already put it to great use completing projects on his "honey-do" list! So I love it too!!!

Impressive Drill

This is my first Dewalt tool. I always used to buy budget tools until, after many lessons learned the hard way, I realized that's a false economy. I am very impressed with this Dewalt, as a good general-purpose drill. It feels solid and has both good torque and good speed, between the two settings. The drill came with a carrying case, charger and two batteries. I like this minimalism, because with those bundles you can buy you are often paying things you don't really need, like flashlights, worksite boomboxes and so on. The minimalism of this Dewalt kit helps keep the price to a reasonable level. I've now done several jobs with this drill, and have no complaints. Remember, you get what you pay for, so I definitely recommend this drill kit!

Amazing value for price paid. Even my high expectations were exceeded.

UPDATE: 2.5 years later and this drill is virtually brand new. I have used it heavily for week-long periods every few months when I have a project. The batteries still hold a great charge and the drill's operation is perfect. Could not be happier with an electronic tool purchase. UPDATE: Still using this drill over a year later. Batteries still have plenty of life, even with heavy use. I will use one while the other charges. Great product, no issues whatsoever, very satisfied! I got this item in perfect shipped condition, as expected. Both batteries were fully charged and ready to go. All in all, this is probably one of the best "bang for your buck" purchases I have ever made. At time of purchase, I paid $99 for the drill, two batteries, charger, and bag. Two replacements batteries alone are more than that! I immediately got to work building a table for our kitchen (see pictures). This drill was used for drilling the pocket hols with the Kreg drill. I did not count exactly, but this tool lasted hours of drilling pocket holes in yellow pine before the battery gave out. No slow dying, it just quits which is excellent. I swapped batteries and the charge was complete long before the second battery ran out of juice. If you are a professional, perhaps you need more power/torque, etc. For the handyman or DIYer, I highly recommend this drill.

Hands down, best drill on the market!

I recently got into woodworking in my spare time. I have always been a fan of corded tools because I usually work in my shop with access to electricity and I absolutely HATE when batteries give out on me and I have to wait on a charge. Several months ago I had to build a barn and attach roughly 50 3ft wide, 15 ft long tin panels and had to purchase a battery powered drill for the job. Let me tell you, I will never go back to corded tools after the way this tool performed. The drill comes with 2 batteries, which I fully charged before my project. Hundreds and hundreds of screws later, I had the entire roof on and I was maybe halfway through the second battery! I have now owned this drill for over 6 months and use it weekly. It is still performing like it did when it was brand new! I know Dewalt is a little more expensive than other brands but I could not recommend this drill higher. The price ranges from $99-$129 and it is worth every penny. Perks: 1) The LED light is super bright for dark work spaces, 2) The 2 batteries last an incredibly long time and charge very quickly 3) The 20V power is more than enough power for the weekend warrior/intermediate craftsman If you do tons of research on products like I do before I buy, this is a 100% safe bet. You won't be disappointed!

Amazing tool

As I am not a handy person (usually), I had not had a drill for most of my adult life. After doing tons of research, asking friends, asking contractors, I was always brought back to Dewalt. I chose this because my friend (who does flooring) suggested I do not spend over $100 on my 1st drill - especially if I don't plan on doing heavy work. I didn't - but I did have the ambitious plan to build an outdoor bench. This came in just under $100 so I figured why not? The battery life isn't great but it comes with 2 batteries. One battery is enough for me to hang up a couple of paintings and knick knacks. I have not yet tried to use it to build the bench - which I will this summer when the weather is nicer. As a woman, I didn't feel like getting all pink power tools was necessary but was also concerned about how easy it was to handle a normal drill. It is powerful but very easy to use. A quick tutorial on youtube was enough to get me started. On a side note, my dad was totally jealous of this drill when he saw it :) I plan to get him one for father's day.

Awesome drill, lots of power and very well built!

A great drill with 2 batteries. Lithium Ions are the best and longest lasting. Only problem was one battery was defective when received. Would only momentarily allow the light to come on, but no power for drill at all. Tried to charge, but it showed full charge and wouldn't take one. Instead of sending the entire kit back I called Dewalt and they promptly shipped me a free replacement battery. I gave this unit 5 stars because it is well built, powerful and has great longevity. Dewalt warranties these batteries for 2 full years. Yeah, I had a defective battery, but stuff happens in production and you get a dud now and then. When a company promptly rectifies a problem like Dewalt did here, I have to give them the full 5! I've never had a Dewalt product I didn't like!

An explanation of Unit Watts Out

This drill is a beast. DEWALT products have never let me down, and so far this drill is no exception. First of all, it's an amazing deal. At nearly $90 for one replacement battery, even just the two 1.5mah batteries that this unit comes with should be more expensive than the whole kit. Instead for just over $100 you get two batteries, a fast charger, a soft case and the of course the drill. Frankly if I had other DEWALT 20V tools, I'd buy this kit just for the batteries. This drill is a no-nonsense drill. There are very few bells and whistles, just a workhorse powerful drill with great batteries. It's extremely small and lightweight, probably half of the weight I'm used to holding with normal NiCad battery drills. However after getting used to the lighter weight of the battery, it feels balanced and stable, with a good fit for my larger hands. But it has at least the same amount of punch of a bigger heavier drill, lasting longer with no fade. I love that this drill performs at 100% and dies quickly - the performance is strong until the end. And with the fast charger, by the time battery A is dead, battery B is fully charged and ready to go. The batteries also seem to hold their charge for indefinite periods of time. One feature I like is the light (the one bell and/or whistle this drill has). I've had other drills with lights - that's nothing new. However, in a few different models, the light would only operate when the trigger was being pulled. If I'm lining up a bit or a screw in a circumstance that requires light, it's not easy to do if the drill is spinning. This light stays on for ~10 seconds after the trigger is released, allowing you to tap the trigger to engage the light, line up the bit or screw, and resume drilling/driving. The build quality is great. The drill feels solid and strong. My only complaint is the plastic chuck. While I've had no trouble getting up to 1/2" bits into the chuck firmly, it feels cheap - much cheaper than the black metal DEWALT chuck I'm used to. But I guess with this product they had to cut corners somewhere, and if I can still firmly grip a bit, I don't care what the chuck is made out of. Note: DEWALT seems to be measuring their drills in Unit Watts Out, rather than in/lbs. While this makes sense, as UWO supposedly takes into account both speed and torque, it's confusing. According to this article on ProToolReviews (http://www.protoolreviews.com/buying-guides/max-watts-out/13109/), in/lbs can be approximately calculated with the following formula: Speed (RPM) x Torque (inch pounds) / 560 = Max Watts Out (estimated). Note that you must use the lower speed to get the higher torque reading. At 300 UWO, that puts this drill at about 373in/lbs in the low speed setting - not the best, but not bad. Certainly there are more powerful drills, but this one is certainly competitive, and with a name like DEWALT, I felt it was the best bang for my buck. I have yet to be proven wrong.
