I bought this Dewalt 3/8s corded pistal grip drill as a back up drill for when my battery operated drill looses its charge. I bought this drill first and had to use it on my Awning rebuild project at home. Being a corded drill, it was combersome to drag the cord up with me on the ladder, but the drill performed great and had good balance while drilling downward. Compared to the battery operated drill (used same project when it arrived), the corded drill felt to have more control in power and starting the hole with the variable speed. As far Dewalt products go, my coworkers and I aggree that Dewalt is more durable and resilient compared to other brands and worth the extra price for quality.
A little heavier than my other 3/8 drill motors, but much more powerful. The chuck is easy to use and the cord is longer so I don't have to use an extension for most jobs. The mid-grip offsets the additional weight. Smooth running motor doesn't sound like it is working hard. Best drill motor I have ever owned, and I have had several.

This drill replaced another corded drill, which died after 10 or 12 years of medium use. I have found it to be better than the recently deceased drill in that it has better balance when drilling up or down, and the level is useful since I'm not sighted for close-up work. I have two other drills, a battery powered medium duty and a corded heavy duty drill. The DeWalt will become my primary drill as it is a powerful medium duty drill with the needed variable speed. I have yet to find a quality that I dislike. I view it to be the best designed drill due to the handle location.
Well, I can't write a review about this one because it was for my husband so he would quit borrowing mine. He really likes it, tho, and is most pleased that he doesn't have to put up a bond to borrow my drill. We both love that. Thanx for the opportunity to give something that works well and is well used. Since it is a duplicate of the one I own and use for my furniture building hobby, I can only imagine that it is a really great product - AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RECHARGING A BLOOMIN' BATTERY!
This drill is great... VERY well balanced, powerful .... works perfectly... Even has a "hook" on it so when not being used, you can hook it on jeans or toolbelt
