Maybe for weight or because of price. I have small hands and it was comfortable to use.I'm just wondering about the chuck, however.
I used it yesterday and it worked great. This is actually my first drill purchase.
But it did the job and it didn't put a lot of strain on my hands. A contractor friend of mine uses a Dewalt and likes it so that's why I bought it.
I'm still getting used to the settings and it is a bit of trial and error for me since I am new in working with drills. Not sure why there isn't a metal chuck on this drill.
Anyhow, just my two cents.
solid, hard to describe how much fun and solid unless you've burned threw a few cheaper drills. Dewalt always satisfies.
I have always preferred the Dewalt cordless drills for their fit and finish, although the larger, more powerful ones (such as the 18 volt XRP series) tend to be quite expensive. My other criteria included two speeds (for both drilling and screwdriving) and a hard fitted case. I currently own a Ryobi 18 volt drill, but while quite nice and powerful, it is also very large and heavy. I decided to buy a 12 volt drill for less intensive tasks, for its light weight and portability. This Dewalt fit the bill perfectly, and the price was very reasonable. I have been using it for a couple weeks and I find that I use it nearly exclusively.
TRUE VALUE hardware has it on sale till x-mas for 89.99. there normal price is 149.99.get to a true value hardware store asap to pick one up.I did.merry x-mas
DeWalt sets the standard for construction tools. This 12v has the power of other's 18v, yet it is very light and easy to use for hours. I've been drywalling ceilings and walls each Saturday since I bought this and am very pleased that it is such a workhorse while holding a lengthy charge. Tom V.
