The perfect compact drill for women…and men,
Pros:
– compact, short, lightweight = a joy to use
– slim handle is great for smaller hands (e.g. women, kids)
– one-handed chuck uses all types of bits
– good high end speed for drilling
– well balanced
– stands upright; belt hook
– excellent battery life between uses
– relatively inexpensive for additional battery packs (30 USD)
– powerful enough for 98% of my drilling/driving needs
Cons:
– LED lighting isn’t as good as the hex chuck version of this drill
– the one handed chuck adds length as compared to the hex chuck version of this drill
– not cheap (but worth the price I think)
Dewalt was little late in releasing their compact driver drills (Bosch has had one for years), but they really set themselves apart for the rest with this one.
I think this category of drill is perfect for most homeowners. Bosch, Porter-Cable, Makita, Milwaukee, Dewalt, and others all make ultra compact 12V lithium ion driver/drills. They are all a vast improvement over previous options because:
1) Lightweight: e.g. drilling over you head to hang pictures
2) Lithium Ion Batteries: don’t lose as much charge between uses
3) Compact: can fit your drill in tight places
All manufacturers except Dewalt put the battery in the handle which makes for a beefy handle and an off balance drill. Dewalt puts the battery at the bottom which balances the drill and allows it to have a more ergonomic grip. My wife tried some of the other drills with the battery in the handle and found them awkward to hold because of the size of the grip. She loves this one.
The combination of a lightweight drill with a slim grip makes this the perfect drill for many women. Even my kids can use it. My wife hates my Porter Cable 14.4 volt NiCad because it is so darn heavy that she has to use two hands and almost throws out her back doing it. Now my doesn’t have to ask me to do the drilling because she can do it herself comfortably.
Dewalt is a great choice for drill to have around the house that every one can use.

|Dewalt 3/8 inch drill DCD710S2,
I have a bigger drill that’s great for construction work but just too big and heavy for a lot of uses around the house. I was looking around for a smaller drill and ended up with this one and haven’t regretted it. The drill feels good in your hands… fairly light, a nice rubber grip, and is balanced well.
The drill is reversible and variable speed. While it doesn’t turn as fast as my bigger drill, it’s more than fast enough and the speed range is probably better suited for around the house use. It has a very bright LED that shines on the drilling area. It’s a small thing, but very usefull.
This drill uses lithium ion batteries. These are lightweight, put out a lot of power, recharge fast, and keep their charge longer than other types.
THe drill comes with 2 batteries, the charger, and a cloth carrying bag. A plastic case would have been nice but you can’t have everything. Other than that, I’m very happy with this drill and haven’t picked up my bigger one since getting this.

|Loving this tool.,
I’m a tiny old lady (70 yrs, 110 lbs, 5’1″) and have small, arthritic hands. My husband has several Drill-Drivers and I can barely hold them with two hands, much less manage holding a screw or other item. I can actually hold and effectively use this drill with ONE HAND ONLY. WHAT A JOY! I dreaded projects and repairs that required a drill but now I look forward to using this gem. The quick load accessory is a must for rapidly changing bits or drivers. The tiny battery adds to the lightweight compactness of this tool. Don’t know what kind of battery life I’ll get but charging the battery for the first time was quite rapid. I look forward to years of enjoying this device.
