Dewalt 18 volt Cordless 1/2″ Compact Drill (DW959) - BARE TOOL BODY ONLY Includes: DW959 Tool body only BATTERIES AND CHARGER SOLD SEPARATELY
Customer Review: Great Cordless Drill
I’ve used this drill for over a year now, and it’s my second DeWalt 18V cordless drill. My other DeWalt drill is a different model number. This drill has performed flawlessly, essentially the same as my older DeWalt cordless drill. The only difference I can see is that the DW959 is a bit lighter than my older DeWalt. But otherwise, the chuck works the same, the two seem to have about the same torque, and the operation of the controls is exactly the same.
I would not hesitate to purchase another DW959 - except that I don’t need more than two cordless drills (one for drilling and one for driving screws).
Customer Review: Do not buy this item
I have owned DeWalt tools for years and have been satisfied, until I bought this one at Home Depot. It is inferior to any other DeWalt drill I have ever owned. Hard to tighten chuck. The motor turns when you try to tighten the chuck. Not like all other DeWalt drills. I have never been able to find this model on a DeWalt website. Must be an odd order for Home Depot. If this had been the first DeWalt drill I ever purchased, I would never buy another DeWalt tool.
