Description of DEWALT D21008K Heavy-Duty 6 Amp 3/8-Inch Drill Kit with Keyless Chuck
Keyless chucks can sometimes be a mixed blessing. On the one hand, bit changes are quicker and more convenient, but bit slippage can also be an issue at times. That's not the case with the DeWalt heavy-duty 3/8-inch VSR drill kit with keyless chuck. DeWalt has equipped this tool with a two-sleeve ratcheting chuck that locks shut and holds bits firmly in place. The drill weighs just 3.5 pounds but can power its way through metal, wood and masonry, with bit capacities of 3/8 inches, one inch and 1/2 inch respectively. A 6 amp motor delivers powerful torque and speeds of 0-2,500 rpm, while an advanced brush system automatically stops the tool when the brushes wear out, preventing serious motor damage. The drill is comfortable to hold and comes with a built-in bubble level that lets you know your holes are straight and true. All in all, a very solid performer.--Carl ThressTools and Hardware Reviews of DEWALT D21008K Heavy-Duty 6 Amp 3/8-Inch Drill Kit with Keyless Chuck
Customer Review: Excellent Drill for Medium Duty
Summary: 5 Stars
THE UPSIDE
1) It's CHEAP!! Feels well made, but under $60.
2) The motor is smooth and torquey, and spins up to 2500 rpm so it's useful for using with a wire wheel.
3) Ratcheting keyless chuck really locks down well.
THE DOWN SIDE
1) Concerned about the quality of the power cord. I have a Dewalt 1/4 pad sander and after 6 years the condition of the power cord began to deteriorate. It's like it started to dry-rot. It always stays in my garage too!
SUMMARY
That's really about it. It's not heavy duty, and for that I have a Milwaukee Magnum 1/2" Drill. But for the price I would buy this WAY OVER an economy drill like Black and Decker, Task Force, General Machinery Corp, Central Electric (UGHH!!H!H!! why do people get sucked into buying junk like that???) or Ryobi
