A contractor friend of mine uses a Dewalt and likes it so that's why I bought it. I have small hands and it was comfortable to use.I'm just wondering about the chuck, however.
Maybe for weight or because of price. Not sure why there isn't a metal chuck on this drill.
This is actually my first drill purchase. But it did the job and it didn't put a lot of strain on my hands.
Anyhow, just my two cents. I used it yesterday and it worked great.
I'm still getting used to the settings and it is a bit of trial and error for me since I am new in working with drills.
Dewalt always satisfies. solid, hard to describe how much fun and solid unless you've burned threw a few cheaper drills.
My other criteria included two speeds (for both drilling and screwdriving) and a hard fitted case. I have always preferred the Dewalt cordless drills for their fit and finish, although the larger, more powerful ones (such as the 18 volt XRP series) tend to be quite expensive. I have been using it for a couple weeks and I find that I use it nearly exclusively. This Dewalt fit the bill perfectly, and the price was very reasonable. I currently own a Ryobi 18 volt drill, but while quite nice and powerful, it is also very large and heavy. I decided to buy a 12 volt drill for less intensive tasks, for its light weight and portability.
there normal price is 149.99.get to a true value hardware store asap to pick one up.I did.merry x-mas TRUE VALUE hardware has it on sale till x-mas for 89.99.
Tom V. I've been drywalling ceilings and walls each Saturday since I bought this and am very pleased that it is such a workhorse while holding a lengthy charge. DeWalt sets the standard for construction tools. This 12v has the power of other's 18v, yet it is very light and easy to use for hours.
