DeWalt drill
Not a bad drill for the price. One downside is lack of adjutment to not drive screw thru sheet rock.

Lacking Features
Did not come with a standard DeWalt carry case.
Old style chuck. This must be an older model soon to be discontinued model.
To bad Amazon's description was more detailed.

Great Value with Some Limitations
I bought this drill for mixing thin-set. It is not really the right tool for the job, but it works, and it is a lot cheaper than a real mud mixer. I have mixed dozens of batches with it. I am pretty sure that I will finish my tiling before this tool blows up, but it may be a close race. The motor gets pretty hot when lugged along at low r's. I hope this drill holds up so I can use it when I rewire my house. It is an excellent drill for wood boring with auger bits. I have also used it with Forstner bits, and it behaves quite well.

DeWalt Heavy -Duty Drill
This item was purchased to be used at my work site, it was purchased because of the chuck size and also it was 110v just what I needed in my line of work.The Dewalt DW235G 1/2-inch drill I recommend to any trade person who is looking for a new drill with that extra torque for that special job.

chuck loosens with any vibration
I found that it was necessary to keep retightening the chuck if the operation involved any amount of vibration, like using a hole saw in plywood. I have a DeWalt drill with a keyless chuck and it stays tight in the same circumstances.

For some reason DeWalt includes a cheap plastic storage case with some drills but not with others. The cases are made of very flimsy material with crude fasteners. Buying one for a drill that comes only with its cardboard box involves spending nearly $40. Milwaukee and Makita provide sturdy plastic cases with their drills so I don't know why DeWalt does not do the same.
