In my line of work, this tool always comes in handy. I use mine everyday at work, and as well as at home. The compact 1/2 drill is lightweight and made well. I love the light feature that is on it for those tough to see spots to drill. I have always used this brand & always will. I will recommend this brand to all. Keep up the good job Dewalt!

I purchased this drill a bit over a month and it has already traveled thousands of miles with me. It’s light, compact, and ergonomic.

I bought this only because I needed a spare which would be compatible with my other 20v Dewalt products. I ALSO expected it to be more powerful than my current 12v Dewalt drill, but it doesnt appear to be

I’m a female DIYer with small hands. Atomic compact grip is smaller fit that still gives full performance without fatiguing my hand. Using the thinner 20V 2.0 amp hour battery is sufficient to drive this drill for most small projects & minimizes weight. This smaller tool fits in tight, confined spaces. I do have trouble changing tool bits because the collar is too tight for me to loosen by hand. This is not preferred but holding the collar & a quick power blip counterclockwise loosens the chuck to release the bit. Overall happy with Atomic series tools.

i really like this drill because it’s small and lightweight, gets into cramped spaces, but it delivers power. i have a flexvolt battery with it and it kicks butt. although the chuck is made from high impact plastic, it feels solid. the tool has a good hand feel and grip is excellent. classic dewalt quality. finished my entire kitchen cabinet revonation project without breaking a sweat. used it to drill the hinge holes, installing the handles, installing hinges and the switch plates for the backsplash. never encountered a problem. i only wish the battery was a little lighter because with it attached, the entire things gets little heavy after a while, but that’s mainly the weight of the battery, not the drill. for around the house DIY projects, this tool is perfect.

Outstanding drill/driver! Plenty of power and gets into tight places. I have several drills, but this one is now my goto drill. I am seriously considering buying a second one.

I have an older Dewalt 1/2″ cordless drill – 12 volt – which served me well. I have purchased at least two additional new batteries for it over the years, but as I have invested in the new 20 volt, I felt it time to update the drill, too. And I am very glad I did.This new ATOMIC 20 volt MAX is amazing. Lightweight, wonderful balance in my hands and all the power that I need. I was a little surprised at the LED placement near the battery, and not directly in line with the drill bit, as I have seen many times before on other drills. I am not sure I like it more or less, buy it does work fine. Using the drill in dark cabinets, the LED is bright and provides the illumination required.The compact size does not seem to mean reduced power. I would expect that the DeWalt specs for this drill, to be about the same as many of their others drills. The chuck collar is a black plastic – or some poly-something – but it seems durable, and although it does not “click” into place with a hard stop, it is easy to hit the the number on the torque scale that you want. The two speed transmission switch on top is the same. It’s a nice action to change from “1” to “2”.The bottom line? For me, I am very impressed with the power and the small size. Coming from my old drill, this is an amazing tool. In fact, I can see tools becoming smaller in size as battery performance allows for more energy into a battery back, and as better plastics allow for stronger cases with less weight. If you get a chance to put this drill into your hands, you will understand the sizing. It just feels right. Like an extension of your hand. Yeah, I know. We have all heard that before, but there is really something to this DeWalt ATOMIC line. I intend to look at this line for my next tool. I actually purchased two of these drills at the time. One for my son, who just moved into his first house and one for me, to replace my old drill. My son spend some time looking at sales and when he told me what the price was at Home Depot, I was off to pick them up. I would actually suggest, that even at the regular selling price, this drill represents an excellent purchase. Couple in the DeWalt warranty and the return policy, this is a great deal on a wonderful drill.

I bought this a couple of moths ago and it was working fine. Now it blows allot of smoke when I use it and it smells like it’s burning

I have been using several type of driver/ drill combos and I’m always super disappointed when i don’t have access to my dewalts. Super versatile and sleek design let’s me use it for just about any application needed. I would highly recommend this tools and pretty much any in dewalts lineup.

This is my second Dewalt 20V drill because it maintains its power up until the end of power, not decreasing power. I have alternate power packs waiting to go into other Dewalt devices as well as this one.

I am consistently impressed with the quality and performance of this drill, I use it everyday with a flexvolt 60v 9mah battery and have never had one issue with this drill or literally any DeWalt products that I own. I am a DeWalt customer for life!

Purchased because my DeWalt hammer twist drill had too much wobble and wasn’t suitable for precision work. Sadly, this drill although is much improved , still has more wobble than I’d like. I saw a test on youtube of many different drills for wobble and DeWalts came out as the worse in this regard. I love my DeWalt cordless tools but I wish they could make a better drill with less wobble.

I had bought a drill but it didn’t come with a battery. Who does that? Anyway I went back to the store and an associate talked me into this one that came with a battery. It’s great. I used it to fix my fence and it went way faster than a regular drill.

I am not a professional but I use my drills every single day. I have had all manufacturers of cordless drills since they hit the market – I have small hands and this drill fits perfectly in my hand and is compact so that it is perfectly balanced. My son bought me this for father’s day and I have not picked up my other brand or even my other DeWalt models since that day. It’s got plenty of power and if I need more – there’s always the hammer drill. I highly recommend this drill – (I’m on the site to purchase another one).

I love this drill. I am making a nursery for my baby and I am a single mother . Putting up built in shelves to a wall and dresser to wall is a snap. this drill has handled everything I put to it.I went from using other drills to loving this one. So easy to use and switch. Battery lasts long. wish would have used sooner . Have used other drills building a deck, and this one lasts longer with battery. It has alot of power and torque. You cant go wrong using this.

This was my first cordless tool purchase. It has made my home projects so much easier! I would avoid doing them dreading having to get the extension cords out for a small project. Now, I just grab it and I’m ready. The light is handy to help see. I’ve used it to drill in brick, change door hinges quickly and easily, clean grease spots out of carpet with a brush attachment. Wish I had gotten it sooner.
