A contractor friend of mine uses a Dewalt and likes it so that's why I bought it. Not sure why there isn't a metal chuck on this drill. Anyhow, just my two cents. This is actually my first drill purchase. Maybe for weight or because of price.
I used it yesterday and it worked great. I'm still getting used to the settings and it is a bit of trial and error for me since I am new in working with drills. But it did the job and it didn't put a lot of strain on my hands. I have small hands and it was comfortable to use.I'm just wondering about the chuck, however.
solid, hard to describe how much fun and solid unless you've burned threw a few cheaper drills. Dewalt always satisfies.
This Dewalt fit the bill perfectly, and the price was very reasonable. I currently own a Ryobi 18 volt drill, but while quite nice and powerful, it is also very large and heavy. I have always preferred the Dewalt cordless drills for their fit and finish, although the larger, more powerful ones (such as the 18 volt XRP series) tend to be quite expensive. I decided to buy a 12 volt drill for less intensive tasks, for its light weight and portability. I have been using it for a couple weeks and I find that I use it nearly exclusively. My other criteria included two speeds (for both drilling and screwdriving) and a hard fitted case.

DeWalt sets the standard for construction tools. Tom V. This 12v has the power of other's 18v, yet it is very light and easy to use for hours. I've been drywalling ceilings and walls each Saturday since I bought this and am very pleased that it is such a workhorse while holding a lengthy charge.
