Quality Control? It seems that quality control is on the same par as big foot in the dewalt camp. I purchased my drill at Home Depot and the first thing I noticed was excessive chuck runout. I exchanged it today for another and the newer drill has less runout but its still there. I guess that's what 99 dollars buys. As soon as the new rigid tools arrive I am making a purchase. Lifetime batteries what a concept.
Sparks!? Really? I bought this drill from a home store and when i tried using it the unit sparks when you release the button! I tried it several times and when it actually smoked I exchanged it for the same item. Unfortunately the 2nd one did the same thing but no smoke this time. Too bad I've owned DeWalt 18v cordless drills and loved them. Now I'm not sure about DeWalt quality any more! Very disappointing.
Dewalt DC759KA 18volt I bought this drill/driver kit to replace my old kit with 12volt batteries. New one has 18volt batteries and much higher torque I use it daily in my HVAC service job its performance is perfect. I recharge batteries at least 2 times less than in my previous kit I can make 3inch holes in 8inch thick wood wall using round saw on this kit without any problems. Also it's light and I recommend it to all HVAC mechanics.
Very powerful. Batteries last long.. Very powerful and relatively light weight. case make it easy to carry. Major upgrade comparing to the 2 cordless drills I had before. Save me lots of time and trouble at work..
Cheap! Cheap! Cheap! Drill! I learned how far down the quality ladder DeWalt has slipped. I always insisted on DeWalt. No longer the case. Dumbed down to a yellow Black n Decker home owner special.
SUPER DEAL!!SUPER DRILL!! MY DAUGHTER HAS THIS DRILL ALSO. MY HUSBAND RECEIVED THIS ONE FROM ME AT CHRISTMAS LAST YEAR.
Expect nothing else from dewalt I am a smaller female and had been planning on buying the 12V because it was lighter BUTI bought this as the 'Deal of the Day' which made it cheaper than the 12V. I have zero complaints and don't find it to be too heavy at all even on more in depth projects.
Screw this I have two of these same drills. I like them very much. I took advantage of the cheaper prices of NiCad everyone seems to be going over to the Lithium power. The weight savings was not worth the cost to me. Snag these up while you still can.
nice drill except for the useless chuck! If you need this drill for anything other than drilling wood or driving fasteners buy a chuck too. I am an industrial mechanic/machinist and have been for over 30 years. I do most of my work with metal. I do a lot of drilling and tapping at the machine which means I need good tools. The company I work for bought 2 of these about 4 months ago and for what i need them to do they just SUCK! The chuck can't hold on to a drill bit trying to drill metal period never mind a tap! I have been after my supervisor to get replacement Jacobs chucks for these to months now. He like me are sold on Dewalt tools but he has a hard time believing that these chucks suck this bad.
My Best Friend I love Dewalt tools. I have about all of them. I can interchange batteries and it helps to limit the number of chargers I need to use. You can't beat Amazon's prices for Dewalt tools.
