This DeWalt drill has the 18-volt power (versus the 14.4 volt power you see so often) that you need to drive into tough wood, metal, masonry, or you-name-it. Not only that, but this model has a roto-hammer or hammerdrill feature that delivers quick, short hammering thrusts which help you slice through those tough materials--up to 34,000 blows per minute (BPM).
The 1/2" size is the right size for professional work, and it uses a metal ratcheting chuck rather than the manual "twist-in" version (which tends to slip).
Wait - that's not all (as the Ginsu knife infomercials used to say!). You also get a spare 18v battery (so that's two batteries in all), case, and charger. Don't assume that any cordless drill you buy will have 2 batteries. And yes, you will want those two batteries, for seamless drilling action.
I kid you not, this DeWalt cordless drill is truly a keeper. Buy this, and you won't need to buy another cordless drill for many years to come.
