Total Letdown

I like Dewalt products because they are known for their versatility. Not this drill. I bought a few months ago and have only used it a handful of times. It all the sudden quit working. Not what I expect when I buy Dewalt products.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great alternative to brushless

I have used this drill for both medium duty commercial work and now as my go to home shop drill. I origionally purchased it for marine work drilling aluminum and a variety of lumber. I got it over the brushless due to price to live in my truck and it now lives in my home shop after the company upgraded to brushless. I have had it for about 3 years now and it has been a work horse. It is heavier and larger than the brushless and I have notice dit has a little less power under load. It does also use battery up faster than the brushless. That being said it always does what I need it to and I would purchase it again. I have noticed that the chuck sometimes slips on larger drill bits when drilling without a pilot hole in wood say 3/8" and above. I haven't noticed this with the brushless at all and the newer brushless seem to lock down a little tighter. This isn't a huge issue just can be annoying at times. Overall I have been pretty happy with this product.

Great and powerful drill.

I love this thing. I purchased it years ago to replace an older "other brand" tool. It's my go to drill. Even though it isn't the upper tier Dewalt drill, I have used it to successfully drive multiple 6" self drilling lag screws through metal sheeting and solid wood to draw two warped support beams back together. Has enough torque to twist my wrist some when the screws go snug. Basically it has been a great and versatile tool. The only downside is the included batteries, which don't have a very big charge and don't exactly hold a charge well. I use the 1.3A batteries with the Dewalt DCL040 Work Light. A much better purpose for them. The charger works like it should. The only suggestions are buy the bigger batteries and good bits.

Compact light weight.

Upgraded from an 18V Dewalt to get more versatility and power. Kind of disappointed. When I'm drilling and let off the trigger, the brake causes the drill to fall out no matter how tight I tighten the chuck. Otherwise pleased with the purchase.

Severe arching in the rear, no power,

I purchased this at our local store, the batteries do not last anytime at all, the rear of the drill shows a lot of brush type arching, has a slight smell, and the drill power last for only 15 to 30 minutes at max, neighbors Craftsman 18.5 puts it to shame on a project today, very bad product.

Found it!

I found this drill in a ditch during the spring thaw today. Has obviously been here a while as the chuck was rusted in place. A little work and I got it going. Battery still held a charge. I’d say I got excellent value for this though I did dock it a star because I had to work to get the chuck loose. Why can’t tools I find in the ditch work perfectly the first time?

Total piece of junk!

I have had this piece of junk for just over 5 months now. About a month after I purchased it the low gear gave out in it. I should have returned it then it has struggled doing basic drilling tasks to the point of smoking and getting very hot. Finally today it gave up completely!! I have other Dewalt cordless power tools and I have not had any problem with them, in fact I'm impressed with the torque and power they deliver. I'm not sure what is wrong with this product.

I purchased four Dewalt 20 volt brushless drills. I have found that the chucks on all of the drills are unable to grip a drill bit or any tool with a round shaft. The drill motor has good torque but it can’t be put to use because the chuck is slipping on the tool or bit.
