An excellent lightweight drill
I bought this drill to replace the 9.6v drill that I had for 10 years and finally died.
This is an excellent drill for light jobs and easy to operate. The batteries don't last a long time but can be recharged in the time that the second battery runs out. The batterys from my first drill are still good and buying this one gives me four batterys. This is an excellent general purpose light duty drill.

Nice light duty home drill/driver
This is the little brother to the - DEWALT DC727KA Heavy Duty 12-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 3/8-Inch Drill/Driver - and probably simply does not have the torque to really need a 3/8-inch chuck.

That said, this is a perfect little drill/driver for general home use - even a novice will not find it intimidating to use. A wide clutch range and good speed control means the driver can be used with perfect control by a careful user, even if inexperienced.

The unit is well balanced - though honestly, the uses for which this unit will shine are not likely to involve repetitive motion stress.

I have given this unit only four stars, due to the battery lifetime I got on another of this range of units, though for occasional use this will not likely be a problem, and the charger is reasonably fast.

Hope this helps.

Great Everyday Drill
This replaced an older 9.6 Volt Makita Drill. The basics: balance is nice, not too heavy, with enough power for the DIY type projects. Beyond that, it comes with a case that holds everything even after use. Some kits are nice, but once you untie everything, the items don't always fit as nicely as they used to. This one repacks easy.

Using one is straight forward and very intuitive even for a novice. Simple easy to use features don't require the manual, though the charger did require a reference for a guide on the blinking lights and what they mean. But hey, it charges fast and holds the charge for the duration.

For the price, I don't think you can beat it.

DEPENDABLE TOOL
I have been using the prior, discontinued Dewalt 9.6 volt version of this for many years. I am home DIY and the versatility and power is more than adequate for my needs. This new one replaces another brand which has needed replacement batteries or chargers during the same period of my use of the old Dewalt drill -- the old Dewalt is still going STRONG! One major advantage of the Dewalt batteries and charger is that I can leave the second battery in the charger until needed. Just replace the exhausted battery after use with a fully-charged battery, put the exhausted battery in the charger and forget it until it is needed. NO CHARGE AND REMOVE CHARGER AFTER SEVERAL HOURS! GREAT!

SWEET
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH !!! Great price for this driver. This drill is fast, strong, light, and very cheap. I once had one that I paid 100.00 for at Lowes. Three year warranty for contractors means that as a homeowner, I feel confident having this product. The big box stores charge more for consumer models ! The diagnostic charger, two batteries, and industrial strength carrying case just sweeten the deal. If you need a strong performer and want to have money left, this cannot be beaten. Thank you Amazon.com for having what may be the best price for this product in America.
