Finding a drill/driver for less than $100 that actually delivers the power and performance you need is no small feat. But that’s just what you get with this 20volt drill.
DEWALT has a huge reputation in the industry to uphold, so you can be sure right from the gate that it’s not going to slap its name on anything that doesn’t live up to its standards, including this hardworking drill.
Let’s run down the bells and whistles that makes this combination drill driver one to consider.
If you’re looking for a drill that doesn’t drag you down with it (yes, we’re looking at you, clunky drills of yesteryear), this DEWALT model may be just the prize you’ve been eyeing.
- The drill’s ergonomic handle ensures that you retain control of the tool during use without any effect on your comfort level.
- It’s super compact, so it can fit easily in tight spaces that you’d have trouble accessing with a different tool. That adds versatility to your toolbox, which is invariably a good thing.
| That said, this drill is pretty much a no-nonsense tool. It doesn’t have a lot of fancy buttons to fool with. It just performs its utilitarian function like the jewel it is and is a real workhorse. |
Specs
- The motor offers 300 unit watts out, so you can use it for light and medium-heavy jobs without falter.
- It has a high-speed transmission that runs at 2 speeds, so you can use it for a host of different drilling and fastening applications.
- This drill’s build quality is hard to beat. It feels super strong and solid in hand. This is a rugged tool that can withstand abuse and keep on ticking. If not, there’s a 3 year limited warranty on the drill. So DEWALT definitely puts its money where its mouth is.
The plastic chuck allows for easy loading of bits up to ½-inch in size, so you can easily switch out bits without too much trouble. The chuck provides super tight strength and has a ratcheting, single-sleeve design, so your bits stay put until you decide it’s time for a change.
For labor-intensive jobs, the battery on this DEWALT drill is hard to beat. It holds a lot of charge, so you can work, work, work without stopping for a recharge or switching out the battery.
Need to install 400 galvanized screws? It’s no problem for this drill. When the battery begins to drain, this drill doesn’t give up like some other models. It holds on to its power till the bitter end, so you can keep on keeping on with no performance fade whatsoever.
This unit comes with 2 count them, 2 batteries. This is a nice little touch from Dewalt since it eliminates the need for a second purchase among heavier users. Use one while the other charges; you’re always ready for action with a spare in hand.
It’s also nice to see this packaged with a contractor’s bag for easy storage, even if you’re not a contractor yourself. This keeps everything you need for the drill together, which is a real timesaver when you need to dig it out and get to work. The included charger can be tucked into the bag until needed, or you can hang it on the wall if you want (it has pre-drilled holes for easy mounting).
All in all, this is a miniature beast of a drill in a small, no frills package.
