This DeWalt DCD991P2 20V Max XR drill kit is to retire my 30-year-old Milwaukee 0224-2 3/8″ Magnum corded drill.The tool weighs 4lbs, 8oz, w/ the battery pack and the included belt clip. The top/bottom balance is nice and appropriate. The tool is “made in the USA with global materials”. The two DCB205 20V 5.0Ah100Wh battery packs are made in Korea. The DCB115 charger base is made in China.After many months working w/ my daughter and her cordless tools, that reaffirmed my conviction that I am a troglodyte in my views on corded versus battery powered tools, leading me to investigate then select thiscordless drill. My plan is to use this as my primary tool and the Milwaukee as a back-up.The DeWalt DCD991P2 has plenty of power, with plenty of torque. The three-speed transmission permits selection of the correct / maximum torque for the application. This is a great feature, enabling versatility for one drill to serve three applications, low/medium/high speed or torque.The automatic 3-function LED illumination is handy and intuitive. The low and medium intensity modes turn off automatically after 20 seconds. The high / spotlight mode runs for 20 minutes.My preference has always been for a keyed chuck, but those are also gone the way of the dinosaur. I hate when a chuck / drill bit slips and there is no way to get it any tighter. So far I like this keyless chuck. The audible / felt clicks when hand tightening appear sufficient. IMO, the instructions go waaay overboard “disconnect tool from power source when changing accessories”. I put the Forward / Reverse switch in the center off position, instead of removing / replacing the battery pack whenever I need to swap a bit.The wobbly / sloppy fit between the battery pack and tool is not great, but I knew about that deficiency before purchase. IMO, DeWalt should improve this part of their design.The hard case is a useful feature of the kit. I prefer the protection it affords and everything having a place. The cover rib contacts the tool when closing, requiring either extra force to fully close, or pulling the top handle away from the hinge so the top cover internal rib clears the tool, so it may close. (Not a major issue, but should / could be improved). The other hard case improvement I would love is for additional room within the case for accessories. I would love to also store my drill bit index, plus other drill accessories within the case. This hard case doesn’t have room for other stuff. All I could fit within the case is a small 13-bit drill index case, near the charger base. It would be great if some of those cool DeWalt bit cases had a dedicated location in the drill case.The battery must be snapped into the charger, not just slid until the light changes, or it won’t charge the battery pack.

Just received the DCD991. Product carry case has a melted hinge and is scuffed. Product inside is perfect. It’s irritating that I paid full price for a ruffed up product. Hoping seller will see this and send me a new case. I’ll update review if I’m made happy.

I am really happy with this drill. Comes with two batteries so you can work continuously. Nice box included. Rugged, powerful, good battery life.

After hearing many ice fishermen compare other drills to this DeWalt they convinced me the DeWalt is the best option out there. I am also glad I got the 2X 5 amp batteries. I have seen two lesser drills let their magic smoke out trying to do what this drill can do. I can drill about 30 holes in 2 feet of ice with one battery. The low speed / high torque setting helps. My only advice is don’t get in a hurry because this drill has enough power it can kick back if the auger jams as it cuts through the last part of the hole.I recommend the Strikemaster Lazer 6″ ice auger with a Strikemaster extension to go with this drill. I use a Nimrod connector for the drill to grab onto that slides into the extension. I like the adjustable handle for better grip and control. I like the way the all metal chuck clamps down on the bits. My brother saw how great my DeWalt 20V Max XR works and had to have one too. He has his in a Clam ice auger also with an extension.

This is a really good drill. I’m mainly using it for automotive work (complete restoration, replacing parts and body work) as well as other odd jobs. I don’t plan to do any masonry work that would involve a compact drill, so I opted to not get the hammerdrill version. This one is shorter and therefore better for my kind of work. I’d previously been using a very cheap Ryobi 18V that was at least 5 years old when it caught fire. Not a knock on Ryobi, but it was time for a new drill and battery kit. Although it probably isn’t most logical reason, I went with Dewalt because of their “Made In USA*” campaign. Glad I went with it though. It has enough power and battery life that I haven’t reached for my corded drill once so far.Dewalt’s “20V” system has been out a while now, so there are a lot of tools available for a reasonable price. The only overpriced part are the batteries, but hopefully they will come down in price soon. The different led settings on this drill are very useful for me. If I’m crawling under something or heading out at night, I can set it to the 20min on mode which is about as bright as a decent flashlight. The only issue with this drill I can find, is that it has minor build quality issues. Nearly every power tool you can buy at a homeowner’s store has the same problem, so I didn’t take off a star, but compared to my 70’s corded drill, this thing looks like a children’s toy. I don’t think it’s much of an issue since I have other, similarly built Dewalt tools that I have abused and dropped countless times and they still look almost new. I just wish Dewalt stepped there game up for their new “Premium” tools. Stand outs are that the battery doesn’t fit as snugly as I’d like and that the speed selector was initially hard to move. The actually components (which is what matters) are very high quality and I doubt I’ll have any problems. The actual drill itself is only $120, so you’re getting a lot for your money. I’ll likely try pick up their 3/8 inch impact next.

I have used this tool mostly for two jobs: mixing mortar for masonry and augering ice for ice fishing. Both tasks require high torque and on its slowest setting (of 3) the torque output of this tool is impressive. Battery life is also quite good. I can mix 400 pounds of dry mortar to stiff consistency on one charge using a screw-type mixer. Wetter material like grout is no problem whatsoever – batteries last much longer. Other features – the hammer drive is fairly high frequency and quite effective on stone and masonry; the chuck is rugged and well made; the drill is well balanced and comfortable to use, even if a bit heavy for all-day type tasks.I noticed only one negative about the tool. With a motor with brushes, a tool will ‘coast’ to zero RPM without stressing the drive train. This tool, with its brushless motor, jerks to a halt when you release the trigger. Fingers crossed that doesn’t shorten its working life.

Overall, an outstanding cordless drill. The battery life and torque have been impressive. Fit and feel for me is great. Balance is great and the grip is also great. It has a built in LED light that lights up during use and stays on for a few seconds after releasing the trigger. The clutch works fine and so does the speed selector. My only complaint is the steel keyless chuck. My last DEWALT cordless drill had a JACOB’s keyless steel chuck and was perfect. The steel chuck on this drill is finicky. Sometimes it seems to work fine. Other times, I would describe it as sticking or locking up and it takes an excessive amount of force to break it loose. No where near as flawless as my old Dewalt. The drill is still new so maybe it will loosen up? So, I docked the drill 1 star for this inconsistent behavior. I still love the drill, I just wish the chuck didn’t lock up periodically.

As others noted, mine also has that odd selector sticking issue….doesn’t switch to 1, hangs on 2….just hit hit the trigger a time or 2 & it goes into place. Annoying? yeah, a little bit… Enough to return it and throw a fit like 3 year old who’s birthday cake was just dropped on the floor during his party? ……Not so much. Seems to have plenty of power, no extra space in the case at all, was hoping to throw my bit case in with it, but oh well. Here’s to hoping it lasts as long, or longer, than the old DCD759….only reason I switched was better batteries to be honest

I haven’t owned or handled a new drill for a long time. The last cordless drill I used was my father’s. He got it in the late 90’s/early 2000’s, and it used NiCd batteries. Experience with that made me feel incentivized to always buy drills with a cord (I only bought 1, in undergrad). Now that I actually have a garage and can do lots of projects in there, but I don’t have all that many outlets, I realized I should get a drill, and man it is a good time to get one now! Brushless technology is pretty mature at this point, so I trust this to last a long time, and these lithium batteries last an incredible amount of time on one charge! I charged them when I got them, and I’ve completed a few projects now without using a single bar on the battery in my DeWalt impact driver or this drill. I haven’t been recharging the batteries in between.
