We have a lot of drills on the job. These always get used first. Great power, 3 speeds, locks when you stop. The way it stops when you release the trigger is great. It makes bit changes a snap. It's the best feature. I am buying this to replace one that has been dropped from 15' repeatedly. The old one still works but it has been patched together a few times.

My DC988 finally gave out. The gearing broke. It had plenty of hard use for the last 5 or 6 years. But I had collected three batteries and two chargers, so wanted to continue with the same drill. The bare tool replacement was the answer. It came in a few days as promised. The serial number was not readable for some reason. I have no complaints and would order another if needed.
This is a great drill... Powerful and Comfortable.

I've had this drill for about a year and a half now and can't say enough about it... It has handled everything I have given it and doesn't quit. Before buying I shopped at Home Depot and Lowes just to get a feel for the weight, balance, and grip comfort and I can say this drill is tops... It a little loud compared it's competitors, But I love it the way it is, after all it's a "power" tool.
