Awsome Awsome Awsome Drill! [Posted on 2005-08-24]
I have the older version of this drill, the DW989, which has the same specs, just a slightly different visual appearance.
I havent found anything this drill cant do. Its speed and torque blows away any other cordless (and most corded) drills I have ever used. It spins so fast in 3rd gear that it will twist sideways in your hand from the torque (with no load). The torque is great. I used this drill to do security system installs, where I was drilling through numerous 2x4's and door headers with 6ft bits, drilling through brick, concrete blocks, into garage floors, etc. all with no problems. I have used this drill to drive 7/16" 2" long lag bolts into solid wood for satellite dishes with no predrilling. This drill will do it all. The variable speed is great. It lets you easily set your speed high for drilling, then low for driving screws, all with a push of a switch. The drill has several torque settings for screw setting (so you dont over tighten, which is easily done with this drill.)
All in all, you cant go wrong with this thing. I have had mine for over 4 years now, both the batteries are still working great, and the drill hasnt had any problems giving full performance every single time.
