this drill lasted a whole 6 months of daily use.
I would not recommend it.
(switch problems and charger problems.)
the Craftsman 18v is still going (3 years later of daily use)

forget DeWalt line entirely
buy the Craftsman 18v.
it is a much better cordless drill.
I have owned over 30 Dewalt tools over the past 15 years.
the only one that is still working is the "bisquit jointer".

Craftsman,Porta Cable and Milwaukee are better than any Dewalt.

That "is" my professional opinion

It's a great tool and does almost anything I need. Very durable and
convenient. A real powerhouse. However, I would suggest a corded power drill
for masonry. Also, be aware that if holding up high - it is heavy.

I've got its bigger brother, the 18V 1/2". Can't remember the model no. but
it's the one with the hammerdrill setting. Works like a charm after five years
of medium duty.

Mine's the older version, they came out with the XRP version about two-three
years ago. Supposedly they upgraded some of the internal plastic parts to
metal in the XRP models, plus 3 speed settings instead of two.

If the $$ difference between the 3/8" and the 1/2" is agreeable to you I'd
suggest moving up to the 1/2"-er. The hammerdrill function works surprisingly
well in light duty, and the extra chuck capacity never hurts.

If you want to save bucks and the drill will only see light duty, consider
moving down a step to the 14.4V, the 18V is one heavy mother, especially after
the first hour or so. From what I've heard there's little performance
difference between the 14.4 and the 18 when used for the basic functions of
drilling/driving. And the batteries are cheaper too.

Battery life is good, I can go about 2 hrs of near-constant drilling/driving.

I've also got the 6 1/2" Dewalt circ saw which is really handy for light duty.
Cuts sheet goods like buttah, 2X lumber ditto. Runs the batteries down much
quicker than the drill tho.
