Editorial Review:
3/8" Heavy Duty VSR Drill, Ratcheting Keyless Chuck Offers Greater Bit Retention, 6A Motor, All Ball Bearing Construction Provides Greater Durability & Longer Life, Contoured Textured Handle Provides Better Gripping Surface & Reduces Fatigue.
Keyless chucks can sometimes be a mixed blessing. On the one hand, bit changes are quicker and more convenient, but bit slippage can also be an issue at times. That's not the case with the DeWalt heavy-duty 3/8-inch VSR drill kit with keyless chuck. DeWalt has equipped this tool with a two-sleeve ratcheting chuck that locks shut and holds bits firmly in place. The drill weighs just 3.5 pounds but can power its way through metal, wood and masonry, with bit capacities of 3/8 inches, one inch and 1/2 inch respectively. A 6 amp motor delivers powerful torque and speeds of 0-2,500 rpm, while an advanced brush system automatically stops the tool when the brushes wear out, preventing serious motor damage. The drill is comfortable to hold and comes with a built-in bubble level that lets you know your holes are straight and true. All in all, a very solid performer.--Carl Thress

No Complaints so Far:
This was a gift for a family member, and they said they used it and liked it. Can't go wrong with a DeWalt....that's why we bought it!
The DeWalt D21008K is great for drilling and screwing:
I almost did not buy this because of the negative comments about not being able to use this for screwing. To the contrary, by using two fingers on the trigger it is very easy to control the speed for work with screws or for slow drilling. I have used it on several projects for screwing or removing screws. I love this product.
Worth Buying:
A good buy. Has more power than I anticipated, with little or no vibration. A bit heavier than I thought it would be, but OK. Does not come with drill bits, so I subtracted 1 star.
Fantastic tool for some operations:
Being my first power tool, I have put this drill through its paces to stunning success. This drill has done duty as the main household drill, a contractors drill driving lag screws 12 hours a day for several weeks, and now, it serves as a powerful tool in my wood shop. This tool is tough. Its been dropped down stairs, on concrete and asphalt, from tops of ladders, its been banged around, beaten up, and never once, has it ever missed a beat. I swear I could run my car over this thing, and still not... more info
