This drill underperformed in several areas. The chuck continued to break loose, the fit and finish lacked in several areas, and the torque numbers rubbed off almost immediately. In general I'm a big Black and Decker (the parent company) and DeWalt fan. Not for this product. I ended up sending it back for a Porter Cable model.

I bought this drill three years ago and have used it for almost all my drilling needs. Now I don't even think about getting my corded drill out. It has stood up well to the abuse I've given it. I have dropped it a number of times, twice from my eight foot step ladder. What can I say, I'm a clutz. It has also stood the test of time for batteries. It was a concern of mine that I would be buying replacement batteries for this on a regular basis but to my delight I haven't had to do this yet. I said I've used this for almost all of my drilling needs and thanks to the 1/2 in chuck its true. I've used up to a 2" forstner bit and it did the job with ease. I really do think this drill is the best and plan to buy a couple for my boys.

It's a good deal, but the mfr claim is a little overstated: "The DW990 is the industry's most powerful 14.4-volt drill, delivering 334 in./lbs. of torque". Maybe true at one time, but not now. See the comparable Porter Cable 14.4-volt Model #9878, it's 360 in-lb, and for a few more bucks the Milwaukee #0516-22, at 390.

THE DRILL CAME IN GREAT CONDITION, I WAS VERY PLEASED BY ITS PERFORMANCE. I WOULD DEFINITLY RECCOMEND IT FOR ANY ONE.ITS A GREAT TOOL

This is a very nice drill and mine works fine, Dewalt factory-reconditioned is every bit as nice as any other brand. Go for it.
