DEWALT 20V Max Cordless Drill - Review 2024

DEWALT 20V Max Cordless Drill
B00ET5VMTU
I bought this drill after getting a bit stuck in a wall using my old drill, which only had 7 volts, and deciding I needed a more powerful one. I also like the idea of having a second battery pack because my old drill had its battery inside, with no light to indicate when it was finished charging. This drill did completely solve the problem of the bits getting stuck, and each battery pack lasted so long, I actually didn't need to switch it out even while installing hardware for five sets of blinds and hinges for two doors (one inside, one outside).Drill Bits are not included, in case you're wondering, but I was able to purchase a set of bits from the same brand at my local Home Improvement store for a reasonable price. The light on the drill comes on automatically when you start drilling, whether or not it's dark, and it stays on for a little while afterwards. I couldn't find a way to disable it, but it don't suppose it hurts anything. Also, because there are two red lights side by side on the charger, I charged a battery pack longer than necessary, expecting both lights to turn on when charging finished. The actual indicator is that the one blinking light will stay on steadily, and both lights will only turn on if there is some delay in the charging process. This is indicated on the front of the charger, so it was just a failure of observation on my part.I am very happy to have upgraded to this drill. I've made a lot of trips to the home improvement store this year, so I've observed that the brand is reputable, and the quality and performance whle in my hands has supported that impression.
