Review: Name brand, good quality. - Heavy duty and compact. I already have a 18v Milwaukee Tool hammer drill and was looking for a smaller 12v compact drill. My older Dewalt 12 drill died and needed replacement. This one is brushless and more compact.
Review: What a great deal - I have two 12 volt DeWalt drills and love them. One is like a hammer drill and the other one a regular drill. The regular one started acting up so I wanted a replacement. I went to a big lumber supply store and I could not find a 12 volt that I wanted. So I purchased a 20 volt that looked about the same. With tax the bill came to about 180 dollars. I could not believe I paid that much but I had a better drill....so I thought. It was a very nice drill but way to heavy for the kind of around the house work that I occasionally do. It would be a great deal for a contractor who uses drills on a daily basis. Because it was heavy, I returned it for a full refund. I decided I wanted a 12 volt model as I already had two batteries. Then I found this gem as desertcart had a great price for 1/3 the price of the 20 volt drill. It works great and much lighter than the 20 volt model. What a great deal and definitely five stars.
