Powerful drill even as 3/8 impact gun:
Happy buying this drill. It has lot of power and very often use it with an adapter for 3/8 drive socket. It works.
Purchased my Dewalt at ACE for $[...]:
My old DEWALT 18V drill had blown it's last battery so I started shopping. I found a new DeWalt 759A at ACE for $[...], Brought it home and discovered that all the components are compatible with my old half inch drill which still works. Now I have two drills for the price of replacing the batteries. Check ACE before June 20th for this deal. I suspect it is a loss leader and you do have to wait for a $20 rebate to get it down to $[...]. The first store had nothing but a picture on the rack with the $[...]... more info
5 years later and still going strong:
I'm a remodeling contractor and use this drill EVERY day. I drive screws, drill 3/4" holes, stir 5 gallon buckets of joint compound & thin set. This drill just never stops. My subcontractors scoff when I hand this drill to them to mix heavy joint compound and then are amazed when they're done and I take it and keep working. I've had this drill for 5 years. The batteries are still good (but starting to show their age) and I usually only need to switch batteries once during the day if I'm doing heavy work... more info
Ha! A $200 joke... And its not funny either.:
Ha! A $200 joke... And its not funny either. That about sums this drill up. It started out great, but the chuck eventually warped, and the battery stopped holding a charge after several months of light, household use. How much does a new battery cost? About $120. I'd rather bust out the corded drill and extension cord...
