Pros

• Powerful
• LED Light
• Durable
• Versatile
• 3 Speed

You probably won’t be disappointed with the 450 unit watts it produces that makes it goo for metal, wood, and masonry. The chuck is unlocks and locks easily and has a very tight grip. The three speeds are ideal for adjusting based on the task at hand. The LED light can come in handy.

If you are a professional, then this is the type of drill you are looking for. It’s performance is second to none among 18V drills.

Cons

• Heavy
• Battery Not Included

The weight without a battery is just under 4 pounds, but with it is at least over five. Handling a five pound drill can cause fatigue, but this is somewhat expected considering the metal gears and the power this drill has. There are other 18V hammerdrills that are a bit lighter however.

Also, no batteries are included with the drill, so they will have to be purchased separately. If you already own a DeWalt drill, then you can use those.

Customer Reviews

Great drill, lots of power, easy to use. A little heavy for anything delicate, but not uncomfortable, at least for me. – November Wind

I bought this as a replacement for the previous model. Works just as it should! The only thing that detracts from this model is overall weight. – Forrest Allen

This unit (the DCD950B) combines the best of the old and the new (LED light, metal tranny, and a pack adapter that works for either pack) – with 18V being so common it would make anyone happy – those using it for light jobs around the house may consider the li-ion pack while those using it to cut big holes with one plunge may want the extra current available from the xrp nicad packs. Either way its a winner and came with my multi-tool system – it was the reason I picked that system in fact because it had all the right stuff on it.
