DEWALT DW954K-2 14.4 Volt 3/8-Inch Cordless Compact Drill/Driver Kit (2 Batteries)

I find this 14.4 volt DeWalt to be "the contractor's choice" in the screw driver/drill category. It is powerful enough to handle the commercial application- driving screws into deck boards without pilot holes. Yet it wont feel like it weighs a ton after using it for a day. The XR batteries are incredible. Charge them overnight and they'll last the entire day. A high quality, well balanced, light weight tool with plenty of power to spare. It wont let you down. Worth the extra few bucks for the homeowner who prefers the quality and power of a professional's tool.

It just keeps going and going. It is a bit heavier than the porter-cable 12v I have used but that is to be expected. As with the other reviewers I can say that it is tough both in the motor and the case. The chuck is a bit better than the porter-cable( no losening of the bit when you are unscrewing).The batteries last quite a while (I found 2 is enough to last the whole day of semi-constant use in pine). The thing that I have found the most useful is the color. I am constantly setting the drill down and the porter-cable color would tend to blend into the debri but the yellow stands out.

I have owned one of these Drivers for the last 14 months. Out of all similar products that I have had, I can without question say that this is the best. It has never let me down; with two batteries and a short charging time, it never runs out of power. I took it to my local dealer for a 12 month service, it was cleaned and checked and there was no wear or faults and that is after constant daily use (and abuse). If you are looking for a quality, reliable and efficient Cordless Drill/Driver this has got to be the one to get.
