Review: Good for smaller projects - Quality drill as most Dewalt products are. Does the job for smaller DIY jobs. With larger masonary bits, need to be patient as drill overheats quickly. Would not recommend for heavier usage such as drywall or tile set mortar.
Review: Great torque for a great price. - I bought this drill because my old Skill would not be up to the task of enlarging my 3" dryer vent to a 4" vent in a brick fascia. I had high hopes for this $80 dewalt, but was concerned that it might not be much better than my old Skill. I used a Milwaukee 4-1/4" carbide tipped hole saw. It took several hours with many breaks in between mostly due to operator fatigue. I did take 1 break for the drill as it was going to give me a 3rd degree burn if I kept going. Lots of low rpm high torque action really takes its toll on a drill. End result was a nice clean 4-1/4" hole through 2" of brick and 2" of old growth pine and a fully functional drill. No way in hell my old Skill would have been able to do that. On to the next project! Recessed lights in plaster ceilings. Looks like it was a good investment! ***UPDATE*** Recessed lights were a success. I drilled 21 holes with a 5-1/2" carbide holesaw in 3/4" thick plaster over drywall ceiling. Lots of plaster dust got into the drill, but it kept going strong. Give it a few rev's when your done to clear out the dust from the motor.
