Reliable Workhorse for DIY Enthusiasts
I’ve been a home improvement enthusiast for years, and my DEWALT Drill has become an indispensable tool in my arsenal. This 8.0-Amp, 3/8-Inch corded drill is a true workhorse, offering consistent power and performance for various projects around the house.One of the standout features of this drill is its variable speed trigger, which allows for precise control over drilling and driving tasks. Whether I’m working with delicate materials or need to power through tough surfaces, the variable speed trigger ensures I can adjust the speed to suit the job at hand.The mid-handle grip design is another highlight, offering exceptional comfort during extended use. This ergonomic design reduces strain on my hands and wrists, allowing me to tackle projects for longer periods without fatigue.Durability is also a key factor for me, and the DEWALT Drill certainly delivers in this aspect. Built to withstand the rigors of regular use, it has proven to be a reliable companion through countless projects, from simple household repairs to more complex renovations.Additionally, the corded design means I never have to worry about running out of battery power mid-task, providing uninterrupted performance when I need it most.Overall, I highly recommend the DEWALT Drill to any DIY enthusiast or professional looking for a reliable, versatile, and durable tool. It’s certainly made a significant difference in the efficiency and quality of my projects, earning its place as a staple in my workshop.

Very powerful. Great balance.
I bought this drill a few years ago, replacing another corded drill (Craftsman) that had half the speed and drew one-third the amps. I immediately did the “Tim-the-Tool-Man” routine, driving a 3″ stainless deck screw into treated pine in the blink of an eye, and snapping the head right off the screw in the process. Talk about more power! My old drill did well if it could bring the top of the head down flush with the top of the decking. A little practice taught me not to pull the VSR trigger in quite so far when doing things like driving screws. This thing has the strength to handle anything I’ve asked it to do, and a whole lot more.The drill has been great for all kinds of household tasks. The mid-handle grip really helps to control the direction. It’s not as heavy as I expected, either. That little clip on top for hanging the drill onto various fixed objects hasn’t proven itself particularly useful; it only slips over narrow objects, and won’t hang over a 2×4, for instance. Big deal; it’s still better than no hook at all, right? Also, the keyless chuck is a vast improvement over the old keyed type I was used to fiddling with. I was wondering if it would grip tightly enough, but I’ve experienced no problems to date. Overall, this is a great little drill.Update July 2013: I’ve let this thing gather some dust, having purchased an 18V Milwaukee cordless a while back. It’s great too, but tonight I just thought I’d finish up the current project with the “old” DeWalt, to compare. I was drilling into brick, mortar, and concrete with the cordless, using a 1/4″ carbide bit. (The purpose is to put in plastic inserts to hold brass screws, which hold brass stair nosing edges that will protect the freshly glued carpet on the back porch.) I rolled out a couple dozen feet of extension cord, but soon realized I’d have been done already if I’d started with this thing. Ka-ZOOM! Still has the power! I will keep taking the Milwaukee cordless as my usual drill, but when I have a job that requires a bit of oomph, I will probably be a bit more ready to unwind extension cord, track down the nearest live receptacle, and use the yellow thing again.

Perfect size
This DEWALT drill is a workhorse! It’s got plenty of power for most home projects, and the variable speed trigger gives you good control. I really appreciate the mid-handle grip – it’s comfortable to hold and makes it easy to maneuver. It’s a bit bulky, but it feels sturdy and well-made. Overall, a great value for the price.

It’s got power!
Yes, cordless drills are better maneuverability than corded drills but I don’t use drills often and it’s annoying to remember to charge the battery, and eventually they drain and it’s expensive to buy replacement batteries. So that’s why I decided to buy my first corded drill and I don’t think I’ll ever look back. This one has serious power and it’s consistent. I was using it for 30 minutes and it’s so nice not having to worry about when I’ll run out of power. It feels good in the hand, I like the level bubble (I wasn’t expecting that perk!) but after 30 minutes of non stop drilling my hand did get tired. To be fair, I have a weak grip so I’m sure it’s fine for others. This is a basic drill for a great price and I definitely recommend!

I had previously ordered a drill (4amp rated) but found it was not powerful enough to do the work I intended so I returned and got this one with 8 amps. Found it just right – enough power without wrenching my wrists. If you have a job that needs a bit more power this is the one to get.
