I bought one of these for my father, a retired electrician who occasionally still takes jobs.  At first, he loved this little drill.  The only shortcomings he noticed in the beginning were the lack of a keyless chuck and the fact that the paddle-switch could be dangerous if you weren't paying close attention to what you were doing.  In the end though, what became this drills downfall was the cheap construction inside the housing.  After only a few jobs, a plastic component around the motor cracked, allowing the teeth to slip under strain.  A DeWalt service shop charged... to fix this problem.  The second hole it drilled after that caused the gears to give out.  It was a great idea, but DeWalt needs to send this one back to the design board for more work...  I wish now that I had spent the extra money on the bigger DeWalt right angle drill.
