Designed for Flexibility and Durability
The DWD110K is flexible enough for common jobsite tasks. The drill's 3/8-inch ratcheting keyless chuck tightens as you work to deliver greater bit retention, and the ball-bearing construction provides added durability. The reversible drill features a 1-inch maximum capacity when working in wood with a spade bit, and it can handle a capacity of 1-1/8 inches when used in wood with a hole saw. When used in steel with a twist bit, the drill can handle a capacity of 3/8 inch.

Built with Comfortable, Accurate Handling in Mind
Comfortable handling goes a long way toward ensuring accurate results. The DWD110K is built to allow ergonomic hand positioning, and its soft grip and well-balanced design offer improved user comfort and better overall command of the drill. In addition, it weighs an easy-to-manage 4.1 pounds, decreasing user fatigue after extended use.

The 3/8-Inch VSR Pistol-Grip Drill Kit with Keyless Chuck comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comparison shopping: DeWalt has power, speed, yet light, quiet, June 4, 2009

By 

Russ (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DEWALT DWD110K 8.0 Amp 3/8-Inch VSR Pistol Grip Drill Kit with Keyless Chuck (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have only started using this drill, but so far no problems, and the keyless chuck has worked great.

I'm writing this review because I purchased and returned four drills before settling on this one, and I thought others might benefit from my recent comparison shopping. The Craftsman 5 amp basic level T-handle 3/8" drill is loud, like an F-16 taking off, and only goes to 1500 rpm. (Craftsman makes a red professional model with more power and higher speed, but I did not even try it because it seemed heavy and awkward.) The Ryobi D41 T-handle felt great in my hand but has less power (4.5 amps) and only 1600 rpm, and it is still noisier than the DeWalt, with a higher-pitched scream. Hitachi makes a nice 6 amp drill with speeds to 2500, the D 10VH, and it has a number of nice features, but it has the same high-pitched scream only maybe worse. It also lacks the bubble levels that I have come to appreciate. The Rigid Professional 3/8" VSR has similar features to the DeWalt and uses the same Jacobs keyless chuck, but it felt a little more off-balance in my hand and had that same jet-airplane whine. The DeWalt is considerably quieter, even though the Rigid is only 6.5 amps compared to 7 amps for the DeWalt. The sound of the DeWalt is more like a table saw or cutoff starting up than it is like the high-pitched grinding noise of a hand-held circular saw.

All this emphasis on noise level is because my dad is already hard of hearing, but it affects my comfort and enjoyment of the drill, too. Despite the range of power levels and max speeds, the drills all weighed between 3.2 and 3.6 pounds on my scale, with the Ryobi and Hitachi at the lower end and the Rigid and DeWalt at the upper end.

For reviewers complaining about the DWD110k or its predecessor not having the finesse to stop driving drywall screws just below the surface like their cordless drill/driver does: if you want a corded drill to do that, get one with a clutch, specifically made for driving screws as well as drilling. In my experience, corded drills, especially those with top speeds over 1500 rpm (which you want for various drill applications) make poor drivers and especially poor drywall screw installers. So far the DeWalt DWD110K seems to have as good a control at low speeds as the best of the rest, and maybe better control than the Craftsman and the Rigid.

And if the case matters to you: The DeWalt case, while roomy enough for the drill and cord and bits, is a little more compact than most drill cases. It also has a metal latch that won't fatigue and break off like plastic latches on other cases often do, and a piano hinge all along one side (albeit plastic molded as part of the case with a steel rod all the way through). So the DeWalt got the nod for best case among those I tried. (The Rigid only comes with a nylon bag.)

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor performance at lower speeds, April 27, 2008

By 

Tombo in Ventura (Southern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DEWALT DWD110K 8.0 Amp 3/8-Inch VSR Pistol Grip Drill Kit with Keyless Chuck (Tools & Home Improvement)

This drill provides very poor performance in the lower speed ranges, such as when drilling metal, esepecially with larger bits. The speed control is very poor, and the torque/power is also poor. I've never seen a drill that I could stall a low/moderate speeds as easily as this one.

It seems to be OK at higher speeds, so if you only use small bits and drill in soft material like wood, you might find this drill acceptable. But I bought it for use in a variety of materials, including metal, and it has been a disappointment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dewalt DWD110K VS Drill, April 19, 2009

This review is from: DEWALT DWD110K 8.0 Amp 3/8-Inch VSR Pistol Grip Drill Kit with Keyless Chuck (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a very usable drill. It comes in its own case containing additional compartments, making it convenient to carry Drill Bits etc. The Drill has ample torque and power and is ruggedly constructed. The reverse selector is ideally located.

The reason I gave the drill 4 stars instead of 5 is related to the variable speed trigger it is not sensitive enough to make finite adjustments in drill speed without extreme control.

It is an excellent buy and should last years with proper care.
