                  Good product, Fair delivery
                  I've only used it for one project, but I didn't have to tow the cord out to where I wanted to do my job so for that purpose it's great. Not happy with the shipping as it came and the boxes crushed and torn, but inside the item was not damaged as far as I can see.

                    small and powerful, gets the job done!
                    i really like this drill because it's small and lightweight, gets into cramped spaces, but it delivers power. i have a flexvolt battery with it and it kicks butt. although the chuck is made from high impact plastic, it feels solid. the tool has a good hand feel and grip is excellent. classic dewalt quality. finished my entire kitchen cabinet revonation project without breaking a sweat. used it to drill the hinge holes, installing the handles, installing hinges and the switch plates for the backsplash. never encountered a problem. i only wish the battery was a little lighter because with it attached, the entire things gets little heavy after a while, but that's mainly the weight of the battery, not the drill. for around the house DIY projects, this tool is perfect.
