Title: The DeWalt 21009 is not a heavy duty quality drill.
Review: I thought it was time to upgrade from the 25 year old 3/8" key chuck Skil brand drill, so I wanted a good, basic, no frills keyless chuck drill when I chose the DeWalt 21009. I made a poor choice in two regards: the keyless chuck loosens while drilling, too often, and will also tighten up on it's own other times to the point I had to use an adjustable wrench to unlock it. Frustrating.But worse than that, this drill didn't make it through even 6 months of very intermittent use before the motor overheated and is now incapable of drilling a hole of any substance before it grinds to a halt.I had another DeWalt unit- a DW272 drywall screw driver quit holding bits the very same day. I am now a very disappointed DeWalt customer who will not be buying or recommending DeWalt to anyone. Very frustrating and extremely disappointing.Luckily I kept the Skil drill and put it back in service.
Is the review positive or negative?
