  • This is a company drill and now I am going to get another one for my home use. Great product and I hope this review helps any of you out there who are undecided to make a wise choice.
  • I tested it to see if any of the problems noted by others were evident; notably runout in the chuck. None! It's well-centered, powerful, and runs very well.
  • A lot of power and a great price for a dewalt 18 volt.
  • This is a very good and powerful drill.I've used these drills in the my place of employment with no problems.
  • This drill/driver has the adjustments and power to handle finish woodworking, drywall installation, masonry work and more. I use this tool more than any other power tool.
  • It took 10 years of constant use, but I finally wore out the last Dewalt. The price for this was great and it works as well or better than the last Dewalt drill.
  • The drill is great. The chuck is garbage
  • The cordless drill works great and I am completely satisfied.
  • This thing gets the job done! A++ A must own for the basic handyman to a pro.
  • I have had this drill for 4 months and i haven't had any problems with it. I would recommend this drill to anyone.
  • I was quite surprised how easy it was to handle and how long the batteries held up. As with most DeWalt products, it is rugged and well-built.
  • I like the torque. I like the easy to use chuck. It seems to be a solid, well made tool.
  • Highly recommended. Especially at the price AZ has it for.
  • Great product has survived many drops and is my first choice as the handiest tool in my shop!
  • The drill is still an outstanding tool with great torque (I even use it with large Forstner drill bits) and has excellent user ergonomics.
