 SWEET July 1, 2008
Jamie Davis (Bristol, Tn/Va)
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH !!! Great price for this driver. This drill is fast, strong, light, and very cheap. I once had one that I paid 100.00 for at Lowes. Three year warranty for contractors means that as a homeowner, I feel confident having this product. The big box stores charge more for consumer models ! The diagnostic charger, two batteries, and industrial strength carrying case just sweeten the deal. If you need a strong performer and want to have money left, this cannot be beaten. Thank you Amazon.com for having what may be the best price for this product in America.
 Bad Battery June 23, 2008

One battery did not take a charge - it would only drill one hole and die. I tried to contact Amazon just to get the battery replaced, but their system did not work that way. They shipped a whole new drill to me instead. Because of my concern on getting another bad battery, I hung on to the first order in case I had to grab the good battery. As it turned out, the second drill had two good batteries, but had severe runout in the chuck. Maybe not a huge issue for hand-drilling, but could be an indicator of improperly-installed bearings, so I swapped drills. So Amazon is getting back one "bad" drill, one truly bad battery and one good battery. I guess I should expect this from a Chinese-made drill. The price is very low, but I had to mix and match two orders to get one good one.

I ordered this to get new 9.6 V batteries for my 15 Y.O. drills, since those batteries wouldn't hold a charge.
However, it seems that delivery by USPS didn't happen-----(a PO employee got there first). The 2 stars is for no delivery. I would give this drill 5 stars based on my usage experience over 15 years.
Powerful, small, short battery, a bit between home owner and contractor. March 29, 2008

An excellent drill for those looking to spend about $70-90. While this drill seems expensive for a 9.6V model keep in mind it works as hard as similar priced 12V models. It is definitely a professional quality product. However, it does fall into that range where for a bit more money you get a 12V+ professional quality drill with more power and battery life. At a similar price point you get a 12V+ consumer drill that isn't really more powerful, is definitely bigger but offers better battery life.
I own the previous version of this drill, the DW926. The DW926 and the DC750 are the same but for the rubber grip surface and the great addition of a one handed chuck.
What's great about this drill? Well despite being small and light, it's reasonably powerful. I have had several cordless drills including this one, a DeWalt DC727 12V, Makita D6011 12V (the old school Makita cordless stick battery drill) and a Sears 12V ~$80 model (2 speed gearbox, not a super cheap 1 speed).
The little DeWalt has the about the same torque (200 in-lb) as my 12V Makita (234) or my Sears (225). Mind you it's not nearly as strong as my 12V DeWalt (350). At the same time the DeWalt is quite a bit more compact than the Sears or Makita models.
More volts doesn't always mean more power! Many people assume that battery voltage equates to how much power a drill has. That's just not true. It's more complex that that. Needless to say you can advertise big voltage and still have no power to speak of. Look at some of the cheap Black and Deckers (the maker of DeWalt) for examples of lots of volts but no torque.
So it can work just as hard as many of the consumer grade 12V models (harder than many 1 speed models). So what's the down side?
Well costs to some degree. If you can get this drill for say $70-90 it's good buy because the competing "home use" drills just aren't any more powerful. However, once you get to around $100+ the 12V+ models intended for contractors from DeWalt and other brands offer yet more power and in the case of DeWalt's own DC727 little increase in size or weight.
Battery life (the start that shines twice as bright...): Remember when I said this 9.6V was just as powerful as many home use type 12V drills like my Sears drill? Well there is a price you pay in battery life. The drill clearly trades battery life for power. My 12V Sears isn't really any more powerful but it lasts a lot longer on one battery. The DeWalt does come with two batteries but you may still use them faster than you charge them. So while this drill will work just as hard as a 12V or even some cheaper 14.4V drills it will run out of juice faster. That might give you pause if you are thinking about screwing in deck screws all afternoon.
In the end I really like the DC750. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this drill for medium duty jobs so long as the limited battery life isn't an issue. Otherwise I might suggest looking for a DC727. However, I would also suggest buyers consider stepping up to a 12V DeWalt for the extra battery life and power with little size increase or looking at something like the Sears 12V-14.4V line of home use drills. They are larger, chunkier, and hardly more powerful in the 12V case but they do have better battery life. Still, the DC750 a great little drill.
