I purchased this drill from HD for their online price of $196 shortly after Christmas. I was fortunate to have a Christmas sponsored by Dewalt by adding this tool, a 3-in-1 router kit, circular saw, and 100 piece bit set for the new drill.
I was previously using Ryobi NiCad 18v drill and circular saw and the moment I tore down my deck and began to rebuildI knew I needed something better. A friend with Dewalt tools came over and ran circles around me. With the NiCad I could handle 40-50 3" decking screws, my friends DeWalt could handle 200-300.
The clutch settings matter on a drill this precise. It didn't really seem to matter what setting I had on the Ryobi.
This drill feels great in your hand and it is nice to have confidence in your tools so you can focus on doing a great project.
I'll never switch from Dewalt based on the experience I've had with the tools I currently own. Next on the list is the 12" dual bevel compound miter, a Dewalt air compressor (thanks for crapping out porter cable), and the Dewalt scroll saw (I'm hoping to have a baby crib to make by the end of the year).
The Ryobis have made there way to my truck tool chest for use when I am out and about (powered by a 2500w inverter in the cab). MAN TOYS!
