I was lucky to find Dewalt corded drill so very balanced which will make it easy to use. The balance in my hand is very important to me, because that creates the function of making this tool be able to be accurately used without getting klutzy with the work performance. I also did not want to deal with problem of needing to charge up a drill just to use it. I think the portable drills requiring their own charger make those drills heavy and klutzy and off-balance. I would not have purchased a portable drill if that was the only option because I don't need to have it slipping from me out of balance as an extension of my hand. So I am in love with this drill.

Great , excellent , price wise was great , shopping was great ...love it ..give it a 10 star rating over all

I am taking one star off because it is difficult to use for driving screws. If that is not an issue for you, then I would give it 5 stars. I am very happy with the drill. I use it for drilling 3/8" holes for doweling. It has a good bit of power, but you're not going to get the torque that a slower speed drill would get, or at least not in a very controllable way. This is because the trigger controls it from 0-2500 rpm, where as my DW235K goes from 0-850 rpm. The DW235K is much easier to drive screws with, although the amount of torque it generates could be dangerous. Other things are that it does not have the locking spindle that most battery drills have, and this makes the keyless chuck a bit harder to use, although this has not been a problem for me so far. The mid handle makes the drill much easier to hold and position, since the drill is better balanced. My overall goal with this drill was to have a powerful drill with higher RPMs for drilling wood, and I think it does that quite well.

a good and solid drill that lives up to the brand name. I have a similar drill from a popular cut-rate comapny that was given to me and its quality and usefulness doesn't even come close to the DeWalt product. If you want a dependable 3/8" drill for general home use and fairly frequent DIY projects, then I recommend it.

I bought this drill a few years ago, replacing another corded drill (Craftsman) that had half the speed and drew one-third the amps. I immediately did the "Tim-the-Tool-Man" routine, driving a 3" stainless deck screw into treated pine in the blink of an eye, and snapping the head right off the screw in the process. Talk about more power! My old drill did well if it could bring the top of the head down flush with the top of the decking. A little practice taught me not to pull the VSR trigger in quite so far when doing things like driving screws. This thing has the strength to handle anything I've asked it to do, and a whole lot more.The drill has been great for all kinds of household tasks. The mid-handle grip really helps to control the direction. It's not as heavy as I expected, either. That little clip on top for hanging the drill onto various fixed objects hasn't proven itself particularly useful; it only slips over narrow objects, and won't hang over a 2x4, for instance. Big deal; it's still better than no hook at all, right? Also, the keyless chuck is a vast improvement over the old keyed type I was used to fiddling with. I was wondering if it would grip tightly enough, but I've experienced no problems to date. Overall, this is a great little drill.Update July 2013: I've let this thing gather some dust, having purchased an 18V Milwaukee cordless a while back. It's great too, but tonight I just thought I'd finish up the current project with the "old" DeWalt, to compare. I was drilling into brick, mortar, and concrete with the cordless, using a 1/4" carbide bit. (The purpose is to put in plastic inserts to hold brass screws, which hold brass stair nosing edges that will protect the freshly glued carpet on the back porch.) I rolled out a couple dozen feet of extension cord, but soon realized I'd have been done already if I'd started with this thing. Ka-ZOOM! Still has the power! I will keep taking the Milwaukee cordless as my usual drill, but when I have a job that requires a bit of oomph, I will probably be a bit more ready to unwind extension cord, track down the nearest live receptacle, and use the yellow thing again.
