Reliable powerhouse with great battery life [Posted on 2005-12-24]
I've had this drill for about 8 months now and used it in a variety of settings for all sorts of purposes. I am amazed at how long the batteries hold a charge, and how they seem to be immune from even subfreezing temperature. I left it outside on the porch after finishing a project; the temperature fluctuated between upper teens and low 30's for the week it went unfound. I brought it in, thinking the battery was dead, and went to get the other. Out of curiosity I pulled the trigger and it was immediately at full speed. Without changing batteries I took it to the shop and used it over the next several hours with not a whimper. I am impressed. The smaller size and lighter weight make it a dream to use. I'm not convinced that the lack of "XRP" on the batteries make any detectable difference at all. The price is steep at "street list" and I've seen them go for much less, so be patient.
5 years of hard use, Excellent drill!!! [Posted on 2006-03-07]
I've been using this drill for the past 5 years and it has performed flawlessly since day one. I've treated this drill like a redhead stepchild and tortured it with heavy daily use. It's fallen down a flight of concrete stairs and my idiot neighbor dropped it off his roof when I stupidly let him borrow it. While I don't recommend treating your power tools this way, my dewalt drill has taken everything I can dish out and still works as well as the day I bought it.
The battery life is excellent. I've put hundreds of hours of actual use to them and in five years had to purchase one replacement. Be careful to deplete the charge before recharging the battery. If you place the ni-cad battery on the charger before it needs charging, you will kill the battery life. This is true with all ni-cad batteries, and has nothing to do with Dewalt.
The adjustable torque can be set to stop at a very delicate setting, or you can set it with enough torque to rip your arm off if that's more your style. The molded plastic drill bit holders are very nice for keeping spare bits within easy reach and prevent constantly looking around wondering where you left your bits.
If you're looking for a cordless drill with enough power to make it through a long day on the jobsite or just a great drill for home improvement, this is the one. I highly recommend this drill! you won't be disappointed.

1/2 dewalt drill [Posted on 2007-11-22]
The drill has met my expectations. It is a replacement for a model 929 that failed shortly after the 1 year warranty expired. This drill has performed to my expectations so far. It is the 3rd dewalt battery-operated drill I've owned, and is one of many dewalt power tools I currently own.
