Good drill, good price

By BHA on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2009

Well balanced and nice weight at 3.8 pounds, it is only 7 ounces heavier than the 9.6V it replaced (probably 10 years old). Work light is useful. Love the chuck. My old 9.6V Dewalt was 'grip strength' and I sometimes didn't crank it enough such that it would open if I reversed and there was tension on the bit in the wood. The new models have a ratchet chuck that is easy to tighten. The 12V cost little more than 2 new batteries for the 9.6V it replaced and it came with 2 batteries, not a difficult decision to get the 12V. In fact, two 9.6V batteries cost 10% MORE than a new 9.6V drill WITH 2 batteries. Go figure. The Dewalt chargers are 'interchangeable'. Multiple voltages (7.2 to 18V) and the batteries for the 12V have the same 'plug' configuration as the old 9.6V so I have 2 batteries AND two chargers. This drill has only 1 'holder' for screwdriver bits. Not a big deal, but I did like the "one on either side" bit storage on the 9.6V.

Sold as New-Drill was Used Before

By laurie on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2011

1) This drill was sold as new but it has signs of wear on the case and the drill itself. 2)The battery life is only 40% of the battery life of a comparable NEW 12 volt battery. 3)I have owned 2 DeWalts in the past two years. I am familiar with the way a NEW DeWalt behaves. THIS IS NOT A NEW PRODUCT!!! 4)There was no one to contact concerning the situation with the drill for a return and replacement. 5)I have been an Amazon customer for years. This is the first time I have been disappointed with a product. 6)THIS WAS A FRAUDULENT SALE - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DRILL
