DEWALT DCD771C2 20V Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

have bought 8 dewalt drills

Began with a 12 volt moved up to I believe 14 then 18 wore out 5 as I worked on several projects . did not baby them . Good rugged cordless drills , Had friends with all the other makes .From the cable tv .guy all used De walt . The 20 volt is a great success !
My only 2 complaints are The bag is too small ........another 8 x 8inches or so and you could put all you need in the bag! Big deal nope I found a larger bag and haul my charger 2 batteries , drill bits ( two dewalt pilot bits yes they are worth the lil extra .....screwdriver bits ....and extensions of different lengths ....screwdrivers ,small vicegrip pliers and a small hi powered LED flashlight .
BIGGEST C O M P L A I N T !!!!! YOU NEED A FLASH LIGHT ! ! !!
THE LIGHT THEY PAID SOME HIGH DOLLAR ENGINEER ON THE DRILL
WILL NOT WILL NOT SHINE ON THE END OF THEBIT WHILE DRILLING
IF YOU ARE IN A DARK PLACE IT WILL LIGHT UP ALL OVER THE AREA UNDER THE BIT ..........DEWALT PLEASE TAKE NOTE !!!!!!
Other than that the batteries last forever ,,,when they go down instead of after a brief time you wait and they began drilling ,,,,,,these stop ....no problem you drop the discharged one slide into charger (take a 12 light extension cord in you big bag ) and put fresh one in and you are set to go !!!!
Again the dang light is useless !!! except to find your keys .
I do volunteer work at a 150 acre park they bought4 20 volt last year to add to our 2 new 20 volt dewalt s it made my mind up to get one and another for a Christsmas gift for son in law .....they are great !!! Frank in Clover SC Read full review

Fantastic drill kit at a great price!

This ain't your grandfather's portable drill, it really packs some power. Lighter, more compact than my earlier DeWalt battery drill and more powerful to boot. It has dual speed ranges and the first test I put it to was putting a 2" dia. hole saw thru a laminated sink countertop, which it did without breaking a sweat. The kit included charger and 2 batteries in a nice canvas tote. I bought it from CPO for just under $100.Read full review

Good power in this drill

Got tire of having a cheap, off-brand cordless drill that ran out of juice after drilling about 8 holes. This is with a brand new battery (totally unacceptable), and then taking all night to re-charge so I can have it run out of juice again. I could also hold the drill tip and squeeze the trigger and hold the drill from spinning. Totally impossible with this Dewalt! It about tore my hand off. :) Very happy with it. Also VERY happy it came with TWO batteries, the charger AND a bag to put it all in! And at $98 for this, you can't beat it.Read full review

Best DeWalt Drill

I have used DeWalt ever since my daughter was a product rep for the company out of college. My older drills were having battery problems. I could not find original DeWalt batteries and tried some from other companies that did not hold a charge. My new drill, with more power than ever and even a light, came with two batteries. The cost of two of the old batteries was more than the price of the entire new drill set. I love the power, the light and the way it stands up. Great product.Read full review

DeWalt power tools in general

This one is simple. Talk to anyone who seriously works in construction of any of the trades. It is DeWalt or Makita. Simple. For home and common use? Save some money and get Black and Decker.

With professional quality tools, the price is a premium. So ask yourself how rough and how much abuse will the tool receive from your use?
Regarding other brands... I um unfamiliar with Bosch - What I have seen are mixed reviews. Porter-Cable was once considered top notch, however, they have changed ownership a number of times. and I am no longer familiar with their current build quality. It it says made in China...Today, most products - brand name - are manufactured in China. Look closely at your iPhone. it says "Designed in California, made in China." Designed. I have also seen "conceived" "inspired" etc in USA and made in China, Thailand, etc on well-known top grade Brands..

Finally, specific. The repeated increase in voltage requirements correlates to greater power. at 20v Max this is good thing. Just recently DeWalt have created plus 20v variable batteries which claim to be higher voltage, yet backward compatible to their lower voltage product. FINALLY!! However, in my view, they are still way over priced.

Note, this is NOT my only drill. I still have an AC powered drill or two, and I still use a 30 year old 7.4volt Makita. This DeWalt fits nicely into a gap that is sorely needed. It fills a spot that it will be heavily used in. I will still use the other tools, in areas that they are simply more appropriate for.
Other reviews have complained about the the gear chuck is no longer metal and some others have complained the chuck does not stay tight and the drill bit ultimately falls out. Face Slap to them.
DeWalt does make heavier duty drill that have metal chucks. guess what they cost more. (have one for a few specific uses) So just pay some more if you have to have a metal chuck and steel gears. simple.
Regarding the problem with securing the bit. ALL, keyless chucks a manual hand twist and DeWalt offers the additional clicking sound to be certain it IS secure. Simply READ THE MANUAL! All brands specify this.

Terrific drill. Does everything I want it to do.

Relatively inexpensive, great quality. Batteries hold charge nicely, and recharge fast. Comfortable to hold and use. Quality drill.

I bought one for my daughter too who said she "had drill envy". She's thrilled.

I only wish the bag were somewhat bigger. Manufacturers never seem to understand that OTHER accessories than those that came with the tool will need to be kept with the tool.Read full review

Handy Dandy Drill that gets the job done.

This DeWalt drill is such a handy tool for all small projects because of its light weigh size, powerful 20v and ease of locking mechanism. Even the bag is cute/practical and the extra battery comes in handy when your drilling holes into redwood to repair the deck railings. I love it!Read full review

Dewalt Cordless Drill.

This Dewalt Cordless Drill 20 volt was a item that was for parts only. I received it on time and check the item out. The motor was starting to burn up. So I look around on the web and found a replacement for a very fair price. Replaced the motor with a new one and tried it out and the drill works excellent. I find that I got a good deal.

Having 2 batteries is a great way to keep working.

DeWalt being a famous name brand this drill was a great deal. As soon as I received it, I charged both batteries and began using it. I am very satisfied with my purchase and look to have many years of service with it. Read full review

Easy for a new DIYer to use

My friend suggested that I order a DeWalt drill and he picked the one that would work best for me. The drill arrived timely and wrapped perfectly. He showed me how to use it and it was very easy to change the battery and the drill bits. He also said that he really liked it and would probably get one to replace the old one he has. I'm happy because now I can fix my own projects with a reliable drillRead full review
