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.
Anyhow, just my two cents. I have small hands and it was comfortable to use.I'm just wondering about the chuck, however.
But it did the job and it didn't put a lot of strain on my hands. Maybe for weight or because of price.
This is actually my first drill purchase. A contractor friend of mine uses a Dewalt and likes it so that's why I bought it.
Not sure why there isn't a metal chuck on this drill.
solid, hard to describe how much fun and solid unless you've burned threw a few cheaper drills. Dewalt always satisfies.
My other criteria included two speeds (for both drilling and screwdriving) and a hard fitted case. I decided to buy a 12 volt drill for less intensive tasks, for its light weight and portability. I have been using it for a couple weeks and I find that I use it nearly exclusively. 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 currently own a Ryobi 18 volt drill, but while quite nice and powerful, it is also very large and heavy. This Dewalt fit the bill perfectly, and the price was very reasonable.
TRUE VALUE hardware has it on sale till x-mas for 89.99. there normal price is 149.99.get to a true value hardware store asap to pick one up.I did.merry x-mas
This 12v has the power of other's 18v, yet it is very light and easy to use for hours. Tom V. DeWalt sets the standard for construction tools. 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.
