But if you have more demanding projects in mind, DeWalt's 18-volt 3/8-inch cordless compact drill/driver can get the job done. The DeWalt drill/driver operates at 0-450 and 0-1,500 rpm and delivers up to 400 in./lbs. of muscle to bore through wood, metal or masonry. With an all-metal 5-5-5 planetary gear transmission, this workhorse is built to last. But brute force is by no means the DeWalt's only charm. Handy features like an 18-position adjustable clutch, 3/8-inch keyless ratcheting chuck, integrated lock-off button, and electric brake make this tool as versatile as it is strong. Add to that a comfortable grip, light weight (just 4.5 pounds) and ergonomic design, and you have a pretty good contender in the 18-volt class.--Carl Thress | | | Product Details: | | | Product Length:

 ONE FANTASTIC CORDLESS DRILLFeb 20, 2003
This is an excellent cordless drill with plenty of power and versatility. It fits comfortably in your hand and is very well balanced, unlike the Makita, which is a good drill, but is not well balanced. 18V is a must - don't waste time with anything less. An extra plus - it is made in the USA by a US owned company.

DeWalt Model 929 DrillJun 10, 2003
I have a number of DeWalt 18 volt tools. I never bought their 18 volt drill because it is so heavy. This compact model 929 is 18 volts but uses thinner batteries that are lighter than XP batteries. I am totally pleased with this drill. It is powerful, light, easy to handle and the chuck tights easily. It will accept XP battery packs for longer run time.

First rate drill.Oct 15, 2002
By M. Emme
Boy this drill just takes what ever you can dish out to it and laughs. I have worked it hard over the time that I owned it and had no problems at all. The battey life is good, and in my opinion about the same as other drills of its size. You have one pack in the charger and the other in the drill and all will be fine. It is of solid construction and a high quality of finish (as most DeWalt tools). The keyless ratcheting chuck works well. While they do not give them away, I think for the money you get a very good quality item that will out perform others in its class.

5 years of hard use, Excellent drill!!!Mar 06, 2006
By J. Pennington
"Drill abuser, home wrecker"
I've been using this drill for the past 5 years and it has performed flawlessly since day one. I've treated this drill like a redhead stepchild and tortured it with heavy daily use. It's fallen down a flight of concrete stairs and my idiot neighbor dropped it off his roof when I stupidly let him borrow it. While I don't recommend treating your power tools this way, my dewalt drill has taken everything I can dish out and still works as well as the day I bought it.
The battery life is excellent. I've put hundreds of hours of actual use to them and in five years had to purchase one replacement. Be careful to deplete the charge before recharging the battery. If you place the ni-cad battery on the charger before it needs charging, you will kill the battery life. This is true with all ni-cad batteries, and has nothing to do with Dewalt.
The adjustable torque can be set to stop at a very delicate setting, or you can set it with enough torque to rip your arm off if that's more your style. The molded plastic drill bit holders are very nice for keeping spare bits within easy reach and prevent constantly looking around wondering where you left your bits.
If you're looking for a cordless drill with enough power to make it through a long day on the jobsite or just a great drill for home improvement, this is the one. I highly recommend this drill! you won't be disappointed.

Reliable powerhouse with great battery lifeDec 24, 2005
By R. A. Livingston
I've had this drill for about 8 months now and used it in a variety of settings for all sorts of purposes. I am amazed at how long the batteries hold a charge, and how they seem to be immune from even subfreezing temperature. I left it outside on the porch after finishing a project; the temperature fluctuated between upper teens and low 30's for the week it went unfound. I brought it in, thinking the battery was dead, and went to get the other. Out of curiosity I pulled the trigger and it was immediately at full speed. Without changing batteries I took it to the shop and used it over the next several hours with not a whimper. I am impressed. The smaller size and lighter weight make it a dream to use. I'm not convinced that the lack of "XRP" on the batteries make any detectable difference at all. The price is steep at "street list" and I've seen them go for much less, so be patient.
