Customers are satisfied with the performance of the drill. They mention that it has lots of power, the clutch really works, and it works well and quickly. The electronic cutoff works as advertised, and the 10.5 amp motor allows the chuck to spin up to 1200.

DEWALT DWD220 ½" VSR Pistol Grip Drill with E-Clutch Anti-Lock ControlMy shop has nearly a dozen drills & drill drivers of various sizes, powers, weights, corded vs. battery, etc. This DeWalt was the obvious choice for us, replacing a ½" drill with a keyless chuck stuck in the open position. Here's why I really like this tool:Pros:- my thin wife wanted a drill to drive a bulb auger. These large bits are used to drill into the earth to make a hole in which to plant bulbs. Said drilling is prone to the bit binding if it hits a rock or a root. Without the E-Clutch feature on this drill, she could have injured her wrists when that happened. In fact, even my 270 pound bulk could sprain a wrist when a bit binds and the drill keeps going. See Customer Images for the description of E-Clutch from DeWalt...- DeWalt seems to be the maker of pistol grip ½" drills with handles that comfortably fit my size 12 (XXL) hand, yet works for her small hands. E.g., my pinkie goes past the end of the handle on the Milwaukee 0299-20 Magnum ½" drill.- excellent 360-degree locking side handle with soft grip can face up or down. E.g., the Hitachi D13VF side handle has only two positions - left or right.- the unusually powerful 10.5 amp motor allows the chuck to spin up to 1200 RPMs and still have the torque necessary to drill big holes. By comparison, the Makita 6302H ½" drill is only 6.5 amps, so its high torque is achieved through gearing and low (550) rpms. For low speed applications such as mixing joint compound, the Makita is a great choice. However, I needed the higher speeds this DeWalt offers.- the all steel chuck can be tightened as necessary with the key; something that wasn't possible with that keyless chuck in the drill this DeWalt replaced. Unlike a keyless chuck, there's little chance of this chuck jamming either open or closed.- 8' 2-prong rubber (versus stiff plastic) cord remains flexible even in the coldest weather. Tool is double-insulated.- metal gearbox. This has been important to me ever since a Porter Cable drill with nylon gears stripped out after two years.- made in Mexico with 1 year free service repairs and 3 year limited warranty. Send tools to service centers or order replacement parts from multiple sites. Their US headquarters is in Baltimore, MD.Cons:- at 6.9 pounds, this drill is heavier than the competition (e.g., the Makita is 4.8 lbs; the Hitachi is 4.6 lbs.), but that weight is because of the DeWalt's large motor.- the Amazon ad and even the box it came in says this drill operates at 0-1200 rpm. However, its lowest speed (other than off) seems to be around 300 rpm (5 revolutions per second); so it should say 300-1200 rpm. DeWalt says that reduces the chance of motor damage that would otherwise occur by straining the tool at very low rpm. This makes this drill less than ideal for driving screws and other low-speed applications, but in my case, I have an impact driver and many other drills for those uses. As a point of reference, the slowest rpm of any of my drills is a V28 Milwaukee, which can turn as slow as once per second (60 rpm).Other:- there is no trigger lock, so your finger has to be on the trigger for it to run. This is a safety feature, since a powerful drill that's locked on, especially with a large bit, is dangerous.- there is no tool case - the only drills/drivers I own that came with a case are the battery operated models, which needs the case for the charger and two batteries.Summary:While no drill is perfect, this one comes awfully close.

My shop has nearly a dozen drills & drill drivers of various sizes, powers, weights, corded vs. battery, etc. This DeWalt was the obvious choice for us, replacing a ½" drill with a keyless chuck stuck in the open position. Here's why I really like this tool:

Pros:

- my thin wife wanted a drill to drive a bulb auger. These large bits are used to drill into the earth to make a hole in which to plant bulbs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Powerful Drill
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2020
Want a drill with some power? This is the drill for you! I had a lot of dirt to remove from underneath our 16x16 shed so that we could level it up. I used the drill by lying it on its side and it worked kinda like a tiller. It loosened the dirt and then I was able to drag the dirt out. I also used the drill to dig 4 - holes 3' across to plant 4 red oak trees. I am very happy with my purchase!
