But ok.Worth 135$. You will notice that when you release the trigger in 2ndspeed(only 2nd) that it grinds to a stop. Good drill driver, 14v is better than 12. That is normal according to a Dewalt repair tech I showed to in person.This thing drives good, a bit better than the 12v, and drills good, I use 2nd speed for drill even though they say use speed 1 in manual. Too bad the Panasonics are so stupidly overpriced. Is a bit shorter than my old 12v but is a bit heavier too.
Its also more compact. I consider them to be industeral stringth. I have several DeWalt tools. I also have another 14.4 drill older model. Good tool. This model defently outpreforms my older model.
Overall I would recommend this product to anyone needing a quality drill but does not require the extra power of an 18V unit on a daily basis. Dual batteries is nice in that you can be charging one while the other is in use -- something I had to do very frequently during a recent home renovation. As a result of not being an 18V unit, it is substantially less bulky and easier to handle in tighter corners.
Shipped faster than expected and is powerful, light weight, and just all around a great buy
The DeWalt case is actually larger than the Makita, but there is too much space wasted on plastic molding. It's the DeWalt carry/storage case that needs improvement. The drill itself is performing very well. My previous drill was a Makita, its carry/storage case had room inside for me to store a 35 piece drill driver set in its own hard case. The interior space could easily be reconfigured to accommodate a case for drills/drivers.RichardRutland, MA This allowed me to grab the drill in its case and go, without having to remember to carry the drill driver set separately like I have to now with the DeWalt.
