Same here, my Dad and brother also both have the 12v and 14.4v models, and
have had no problems so far. I see DeWalts alot on job sites, figure it's
one of those tried and true drills. The gear selector is a bit notchy,
need to kind of learn how to pull the trigger a little as you're shifting
gears, annoying, but my only complaint.
Every time I think I should just use a corded drill for heavy work, I just
chuck up the cordless DeWalt and it does great, Got a free 3rd battery with
a rebate offer last xmas.
