If your cordless drill just can't keep up or you only have a few hours to drill holes, here's your ticket. I've had this drill for about a year now. and used it a lot more than I expected. It never fails, even under heavy loads. I've read a few reviews that say DeWalt motors fail pretty quickly. I've had no problems with any of my cordless or wired DeWalt motors. I can definitely recommend this drill. My only two "complaints" are that it doesn't have a 1/2" chuck and it doesn't have a side grip, which it could certainly use.
