 This unit comes with toy batteries, and you can't do anything with that! November 12, 2009

This unit is for lightweight works only, due to battery limitation, and for such lightweight works, you can find more lightweight tool, with lighter price, too.
BIG CONS:
ALMOST USELESS DUE TO WEAK BATTERY (More on this later)
Can't stand on battery (bad weight balance).
Cons:
1st speed is really too slow, currently speeds are 0-300/0-1100rpm. It'll be much handier, if 1st speed was something like 0-600.
Bulky charger.
Pros:
Nice chuck, really can be used with one hand.
Great overall build quality.
Quite silent (compared to same price range BOSCH tools)
1st speed has great torque, outperformed my 18V Bosch PSR18 in that.
Regarding unit itself, does not think about it as work unit, this is more like a gift to some nerd, who wants to be "real" man, by having real DeWalt tool. While itself unit is reasonably powered, very rigid construction, nice grip and other features included, it's batteries are very weak, making it almost useless for any task. Here's example: I had to hang a big shelf in garage. Walls are made from soft masonry. So I need to drill 4 holes 10mm dia and 120mm depth in masonry for anchors, and also need to drill 4 of 8mm holes into 2mm thick steel stripe. The battery was fully charged, and left in charger for overnight, to be sure that it's fully charged. So, I started drilling. The holes in masonry went like breese, about 10 seconds per hole. Then I went to metal, 1st hole came out quickly, on 2nd, drill started to show signs of slowdown, and on 3rd hole, I only managed to drill 10% or so.
So, fully charged battery output was:
4 holes with dia 10mm in masonry, 120mm depth each.
3 holes with dia 8mm in 2mm thick steel stripe.
THAT'S ALL!
So consider that information when thinking about purchase.
I just can't understand, what is the idea to release such a powerfull drill, with such weak batteries? For light screwdriving? but for such tasks, I'd go out and buy same priced, but much more lightweight and screwdriving aimed li-ion tool! Also, this unit has very fringe balance when standing on battery, tends to fall to front every time, broke several drill bits already!
Later I'll try to purchase these alternative, high capacity batteries available on market and update review, if any interesting output.
 Great drill for the money. October 23, 2009
J. Darknell (San Jose, CA USA)
I only use a drill maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Seems every time I want to use my cordless drill, the battery was dead and I'd be waiting two or more hours to charge the battery so I could do what I needed to do. I bought a corded drill because I can always find an electrical outlet. However, I missed my previous drill too much with its easy tighten chuck and ratcheting clutch. I simply couldn't find a corded drill that even came close to matching the features of most cordless drills (seriously, why???) So, considering how little I actually use drill nowadays I opted for this item on sale and it has turned out to be a great purchase, the chuck is even nicer than my older dead drill (it lived its life well for over 13 years and two remodels)and the clutch easy to set. Its proven to be every bit as powerful as my much older 12volt DeWalt but slightly smaller and lighter. Overall, a great purchase at an amazing price.
 forgot to send the drill bit set October 1, 2009

The drill works fine but they never included a drill bit set which the ad stated was included. Ended up buying one at a local hardware store. Not too pleased.
 McPherson rates 9.6 vs. 14.4 September 21, 2009
James P. Mcpherson (Fargo, ND)
DeWalt is by far the best cordless I have ever owned. The week after I bought this new and improved 9.6 (more compact than years back) the 14.4 went on sale at Lowes for $89.99 (reg. $149.99). Wish I would have waited. I paid $79.99 + shipping, $87.00 total. The 14.4 is a little better quality for gear adjustments and is a little smaller than the 9.6 on the length of the drill body. For home use, these drills last and last. Don't waste your money on the new lithium batteries, because according to a contractor I talked to, the lithium batteries don't last much longer per charge anyway. He always went back to DeWalt, and so will I. Jim Mc, Fargo, ND
Good basic drill September 20, 2009

Good drill with good torque but unfortunately the battery does not hold charge long enough to finish the job. Otherwise a good product from a trusted name.
