DeWalt DC727KA Heavy Duty 12-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 3/8-Inch Drill/Driver Kit

Amazon's alleged super savings price is only pennies below the price of your local hardware retailer. It's alleged list price of $150 is seldom actually paid for the 12v version of this product. I've used Dewalt now for over a decade and it is my favorite cordless drill (Makita is definitely more durable but far less pleasant to use on the site). I just purchased this very drill kit for $102 with shipping. Do some shopping, you'll beat this Amazon price with little effort.

You all know that old adage of "getting what you pay for", I'd say it was probably said by someone dealing with cordless drills. I had to replace a trusted old Craftsman 9.6V that had the batteries finally give up the ghost. Faced with the prospect of just replacing the batteries I just looked at getting a new drill. I had a bunch of Home Depot gift cards laying about so I started pricing and reading reviews. I work in a General Contracting office and I put the question to all the Project Managers and subs "what brand of drill do you prefer?" The answer came back overwhelmingly DeWalt. I looked at the different models and prices and decided that the 12 volt was probably enough for me. The first order of business for the new drill was replacing my sectional garage door. I picked up a socket adapter and went to work. With a friends help I removed the old door and put up the new door in under an hour. I had to remove and put back nearly 100 screws and I had to drill seven new holes in the door frame for brackets and handles and such. It handled it all with out a hiccup.
I am greatly pleased with this drill and it's performance and quality. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Of all the drills out there this one is a steal at 119.00. Being a home owner most of my projects take 2 or 3 hours. This drill packs enough power and run time to do the job. Backed by the Dewalt name this drill is perfect, 1 hour charge time too.

I purchased the DeWalt DC727KA 12 Volt cordlesss drill for Landscape Designer friend. From time to time she has borrowed my 14.4 Volt cordless drill to use on specific work related installations. I had the occasion to visit a job site and noticed how my drill did not balance well in her hand. She is plenty strong - but the scale and fit of her hand to the drill was wrong.

I searched for what I thought would be the right cordless drill for her hand and applications. After reading a number of favorable reviews about this product I was convinced that it was plenty powerfull enough.

She has been using her DeWalt for more than a month. It fits her hand in away that makes it easier and safer to use than the drill she borrowed from me. Since I have received good service from other DeWalt tools, I expect that this one will also have a long and happy life.

I own a 9.6v and 18v DeWalt cordless drill. I love the drill but hate the reliablity of the batteries. Batteries for both have failed twice.
