This unit comes with toy batteries, and you can’t do anything with that!
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
This unit is for lightweight works only, due to battery limitation, and for such lightweight works, you can find more lightweight tool, with lighter price, too.
BIG CONS:
ALMOST USELESS DUE TO WEAK BATTERY (More on this later)
Can’t stand on battery (bad weight balance).
Cons:
1st speed is really too slow, currently speeds are 0-300/0-1100rpm. It’ll be much handier, if 1st speed was something like 0-600.
Bulky charger.
Pros:
Nice chuck, really can be used with one hand.
Great overall build quality.
Quite silent (compared to same price range BOSCH tools)
1st speed has great torque, outperformed my 18V Bosch PSR18 in that.
Regarding unit itself, does not think about it as work unit, this is more like a gift to some nerd, who wants to be “real” man, by having real DeWalt tool. While itself unit is reasonably powered, very rigid construction, nice grip and other features included, it’s batteries are very weak, making it almost useless for any task. Here’s example: I had to hang a big shelf in garage. Walls are made from soft masonry. So I need to drill 4 holes 10mm dia and 120mm depth in masonry for anchors, and also need to drill 4 of 8mm holes into 2mm thick steel stripe. The battery was fully charged, and left in charger for overnight, to be sure that it’s fully charged. So, I started drilling. The holes in masonry went like breese, about 10 seconds per hole. Then I went to metal, 1st hole came out quickly, on 2nd, drill started to show signs of slowdown, and on 3rd hole, I only managed to drill 10% or so.
So, fully charged battery output was:
4 holes with dia 10mm in masonry, 120mm depth each.
3 holes with dia 8mm in 2mm thick steel stripe.
THAT’S ALL!
So consider that information when thinking about purchase.
I just can’t understand, what is the idea to release such a powerfull drill, with such weak batteries? For light screwdriving? but for such tasks, I’d go out and buy same priced, but much more lightweight and screwdriving aimed li-ion tool! Also, this unit has very fringe balance when standing on battery, tends to fall to front every time, broke several drill bits already!
Later I’ll try to purchase these alternative, high capacity batteries available on market and update review, if any interesting output.
Great drill for the money.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I only use a drill maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Seems every time I want to use my cordless drill, the battery was dead and I’d be waiting two or more hours to charge the battery so I could do what I needed to do. I bought a corded drill because I can always find an electrical outlet. However, I missed my previous drill too much with its easy tighten chuck and ratcheting clutch. I simply couldn’t find a corded drill that even came close to matching the features of most cordless drills (seriously, why???) So, considering how little I actually use drill nowadays I opted for this item on sale and it has turned out to be a great purchase, the chuck is even nicer than my older dead drill (it lived its life well for over 13 years and two remodels)and the clutch easy to set. Its proven to be every bit as powerful as my much older 12volt DeWalt but slightly smaller and lighter. Overall, a great purchase at an amazing price.
forgot to send the drill bit set

The drill works fine but they never included a drill bit set which the ad stated was included. Ended up buying one at a local hardware store. Not too pleased.
McPherson rates 9.6 vs. 14.4
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
DeWalt is by far the best cordless I have ever owned. The week after I bought this new and improved 9.6 (more compact than years back) the 14.4 went on sale at Lowes for $89.99 (reg. $149.99). Wish I would have waited. I paid $79.99 + shipping, $87.00 total. The 14.4 is a little better quality for gear adjustments and is a little smaller than the 9.6 on the length of the drill body. For home use, these drills last and last. Don’t waste your money on the new lithium batteries, because according to a contractor I talked to, the lithium batteries don’t last much longer per charge anyway. He always went back to DeWalt, and so will I. Jim Mc, Fargo, ND
Good basic drill
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Good drill with good torque but unfortunately the battery does not hold charge long enough to finish the job. Otherwise a good product from a trusted name.
Good Buy
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I was a little skeptical about buying this because there were many others with a higher power rating. This drill has more than enough power to get pretty much any job done around the house. I used it mostly to drill through wood and sheet rock. I also use it as screw driver. The bits are very easy and quick to change out. It also comes with two batteries and a charger. I am very satisfied.
Great household drill
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
In the short time I have been able to try it out, the Dewalt 9.6 volt drill has worked very well. It has a good comfortable weight and balance, and has been able to handle simple chores very well. I have had a number of lesser drills in the past and the quality is obvious from the first time I picked it up. I would certainly recommend to a friend.
Excellent Middle-of-the-Road Tool
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I acquired mine for $20 at a pawn shop. (Price tag on the case read “drill-bit set” cashier opened the case… chuckled and said “well that’s a good deal”)
Excellent tool for general use. I use it as a cable installer about 95% of the time, only once in a while do I have to bust out my “real” drill, and that’s usually because I’ve run the battery down and have no time to charge it. I would definitely pay the usual 70-90 for it.
Drill away
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This product is awesome for the price — thanks AMAZON!! THis drill help me out so much when I moved from my parents apt to my own new apt. Great product all the way around. This thing is heavy in a sense of well made construction(Quality). I had other drills before none compare to this. This drill will eat $200 overrated drills. Enough power for home installation and handy work. Thanks, for all the reviews to help me select one of the best!
Reliable.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Very useful and the battery charge lasts for weeks even if not charged/used. Wish it had more power for screws when driving through hardwood or I guess i should have bought a more powerful tool.
Don’t let “9.6 Volt” fool you
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I made the mistake of buying a cheap drill that was 12v or 14v, and it would last only 6 months. I just got this 9.6 volt drill to see how DeWalt would do, and I have to say that this drill is at least as powerful as those other drills.
It’s very light, and makes a perfect screw gun since it’s easy on the arms. It also comes with a second battery, and I find myself with hardly any downtime because of that. The charger is nice, quick, and helps you prevent overcharging your batteries. Have you ever picked up a tool and can tell that it’s a quality tool? That’s how this tool feels.
definately one of my better ideas!

(check out the pictures i posted up in the picture gallery)
i am currently a trade school student studying electrical installation and let me tell you, this drill is incredible. it allows me to complete my projects for class in FRACTIONS of what they normally took me. which is great because now instead of spending time putting screws in and taking them out i can now spend more time focusing on all the other aspects of the project.
keep in mind I’m not doing a whole lot of heavy duty work. i’m using it to put screws in wood. i haven’t tested for anything more than that. so for my purposes at the moment it’s more than enough power for me.
Great Lightweight Drill
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Battery could last longer when drilling but does just fine when screwing. Much of my work is reaching out on a 25 foot ladder so it’s lightweight makes up for it.
An excellent lightweight drill
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this drill to replace the 9.6v drill that I had for 10 years and finally died.
This is an excellent drill for light jobs and easy to operate. The batteries don’t last a long time but can be recharged in the time that the second battery runs out. The batterys from my first drill are still good and buying this one gives me four batterys. This is an excellent general purpose light duty drill.
Nice light duty home drill/driver
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is the little brother to the – DEWALT DC727KA Heavy Duty 12-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 3/8-Inch Drill/Driver – and probably simply does not have the torque to really need a 3/8-inch chuck.
That said, this is a perfect little drill/driver for general home use – even a novice will not find it intimidating to use. A wide clutch range and good speed control means the driver can be used with perfect control by a careful user, even if inexperienced.
The unit is well balanced – though honestly, the uses for which this unit will shine are not likely to involve repetitive motion stress.
I have given this unit only four stars, due to the battery lifetime I got on another of this range of units, though for occasional use this will not likely be a problem, and the charger is reasonably fast.
Hope this helps.
Great Everyday Drill
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This replaced an older 9.6 Volt Makita Drill. The basics: balance is nice, not too heavy, with enough power for the DIY type projects. Beyond that, it comes with a case that holds everything even after use. Some kits are nice, but once you untie everything, the items don’t always fit as nicely as they used to. This one repacks easy.
Using one is straight forward and very intuitive even for a novice. Simple easy to use features don’t require the manual, though the charger did require a reference for a guide on the blinking lights and what they mean. But hey, it charges fast and holds the charge for the duration.
For the price, I don’t think you can beat it.
DEPENDABLE TOOL
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been using the prior, discontinued Dewalt 9.6 volt version of this for many years. I am home DIY and the versatility and power is more than adequate for my needs. This new one replaces another brand which has needed replacement batteries or chargers during the same period of my use of the old Dewalt drill — the old Dewalt is still going STRONG! One major advantage of the Dewalt batteries and charger is that I can leave the second battery in the charger until needed. Just replace the exhausted battery after use with a fully-charged battery, put the exhausted battery in the charger and forget it until it is needed. NO CHARGE AND REMOVE CHARGER AFTER SEVERAL HOURS! GREAT!

SWEET
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
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
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
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.
Fantastic Cordless For the Lady in your life

I gave this to a dear friend and she loved it. It is the perfect size and weight to make use very comfortable.
Never received it!!
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
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.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
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.

This tool works very very well. The battery performs for a long time and the spare battery is very useful.
Good solid drill
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is my first DEWALT tool. The drill is solid, well-made, comfortable to hold, and has plenty of torque. Definitely a step up from cheaper drill I used before, and worth paying extra for. I am using it for household work and hobby woodworking, and so far it was performing very well.
Initially I considered a 12V drill, and was not sure whether 3/8 chuck will be enough. Then Amazon had a deal on this one, and I took the plunge. Turns out, this one is more then enough for household and hobby use, and I have a corded drill for situations where I need 1/2″ chuck and extra power (drilling into concrete walls and such).
great unit
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I own and use about 10 of these commercially. The drills hardly ever die and they have all the power most would ever use. I buy refurb units to get the batteries, but now the new ones are close in cost. You wont be sorry…
Excellent service.

This drill was delivered exactly as Amazon said it would be. The recipient was very happy with it. I was extremely grateful that the gift was delivered when promised and in excellent condition.
Perfect Size, Plenty of Twist, Short Battery Life
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve just bought a 2nd DeWalt 9.6V cordless drill to supplement my woodworking shop. My first is still going strong after over 6 years of use. The original batteries have just about died (I still have one good one) so rather than spend eighty-four dollars on two new batteries I spent about the same for a new drill kit that comes with two new batteries!
This drill is great for general purpose work and is small and lightweight enough to be a joy to use in tight places. Why lug around a beastly-size cordless drill when you don’t have to? Only rarely have I found the 9.6V drill to be lacking in torque (I mostly drill in wood with 3/8″ and smaller twist bits). If you need something with more speed and/or torque then consider the 12V (the upper speed of the 9.6V is 1,100 rpm vs. 1,400 rpm for the 12V).
Batteries recharge fast (less than 1 hour) but the ones for my newest drill seem to last only about 1/2 as long as the first batch did. And, they are NiCad so you need to make sure you top-off the charge if you’ve not used the drill in the past several DAYS. Short battery life between charges is my only complaint. The new drill models have a chuck lock which is most handy–you no longer have to hold the chuck still when loosening or tightening the chuck.
This is a great product from DeWalt and, except for the short batterly charge duration, I strongly recommend it.
Great Drill, Great Price.
