I purchased this drill/driver for my husband to replace a Dewalt drill/driver he has had for over 18 years. All of his power tools are Dewalt so I saw no reason to change. I researched on line to find a good deal & Amazon as always beat out the competion. Great drill, great price.

Being a journeyman carpenter for over 20 years this is a great drill. I have had this drill for ten years now and I am just now replacing the battery. All of the tools that I use are from various manufacturers based on the tools ability. I use Dewalt drills and miter saw. I use Makita for saws as well. It just depends on the tool to which brand I select. Each brand is known for something and Dewalt makes a great drill.

My son gave me my first 18-volt cordless drill (Black & Decker) four years ago. It was adequate for light use, but lacked power.

I upgraded to the DEWALT 18-Volt Compact Drill when I started my barn project. I have definitely not been disappointed. It has far more power than my B&D and the two speed feature is a big plus allowing a slower speed for driving screws and a higher speed for drilling metals. The 1 hour charge feature is a big plus.

I highly recommend this item.

This is the best drill that I have ever owend. I have only used it a little bit since the purchase but bought this and am very happy with it. This is a very powerful drill. It even screwed right into 2x4 without pilot holes. Charge seems to hold for a long time. Make sure you charge as soon as you get it. I put the battery on the drill just to check for charge and it seemed to have one so I didn't charge right away. Well charge from factory was minimal so had to stop project to charge the the batteries, good thing is the battery charged in about an hour.

Best drill I have ever had. It just has a better feel to me than my frineds Milwaukee. I had a Ryobi that worked well for 1 year, but after a year it started to run rought and it was suggested to me to buy a more quality tool. Wasn't sure to get Dewalt, Makita, or Milwaukee, but I'm glad I got this Dewalt. Small for an 18v but more than enough power.
