I have not had the chance to use it very much yet but it seems well made. I will be using it extensively in the near future and will know more. The case could be designed better. It does not seem to be for the components supplied with this drill.

Bought this for my husband and although we have only used it a few times since Christmas, I would highly recommend it. 20-Volt is the only way to go….in my opinion.

The drill is light, powerful, durable and even better than my old one, which was a very good 14 volt. The extra batteries make this an easy purchase, since I can use them in my other DeWalt tools. I used this numerous times at a rental property. No cord. No worry. Thanks.

A little heavy and a different balance than the DC720KA I’m used to using. The chuck is finicky, too. It seems tight and then after a few seconds of use the bit gets loose. Plenty of power but overall not as good a tool as the DC720 in my opinion. I may post a follow up after more use.

We have used this drill in an industrial factory maintenance environment since 3/16/2016 to present (7/4/2018) shared by several technicians across three shifts and its still as good as the day we got it.It may go a day or two without use and the use is usually less than enough to have to change batteries but on most occasions it gets rode hard and put up wet and is not pampered.None of us complain about the chuck, it locks solid and if you don’t know what you are doing the power and torque will twist your wrist. We avoid setting the clutch to full lock.I was browsing this drill here because my old home use NiCad Battery Dewalt has had it and I want one for home.This review IS NOT part of a promotion.

Only thing I would ask is add a hammer function. 3 speed gear system drill /driver with a heavy duty chuck with some real power .

I’ve owned nothing but Dewalt cordless power drills. When I was young, I helped my dad install metal roofs. We only used Dewalt. They were, and still are, the most rugged and reliable cordless drill on the market! Keep up the good work!

Extended run times are great with the 4.0AH battery. These tools are out in the weather all day and keep going strong We have tried other cordless brands and these work best in our opinion.
