I can usually do about three or four moderate projects around the house before I have to change the battery. Don't buy extra batteries, buy extra screwdrivers. I did the math and I decided to buy a second Dewalt screwdriver instead. There is a Dewalt service center near me and I was super lucky to buy a HUGE set of bits and drill bits that fit this screwdriver for next to nothing. Currently this screwdriver sells for $78.99.
The motor has tons of power. The battery life is also very respectable. The bit/chuck quick release system is universal so you can use bits for other manufacturers with no problems.I lost one of my batteries and I was thinking about buying 2 more batteries. So for an $18.99 I get a 1-hour quick charger, a new case, and the screwdriver itself. I reach for this before I get out my 14.4v Dewalt cordless drill.
I drill 1/4" holes with it with no problems. Two new batteries will cost about $60.
My old craftsman had a rocker switch and a high and low speed switch. It took a little getting used to the direction selection which is located just below the pivot but that was more of a "Getting used to it" type of thing.
Over all if you want power and convienence this is an excellent buy. The unit may be a little heavy for some but when you are running 7.2 volts there has to be batteries somewhere.
Great power and comes with two batteries which charte in an hour so chances of you running out of power are low. The only con I can muster is I wish it would pivot closer to 90 degrees for comfort but that may be personal too.
This seems a little boxy but once you start to use it you will love it. This unit uses a variable speed trigger which works much more smoothly.
I also like that the motor is enclosed in metal.
It was a NO BRAINER. This is a great kit, even greater at the price I paid.$72. I found this kit on Amazon for $72 with free S/H. The actual Dewalt 7.2V batteries averaged about $32 each plus shipping. It is the only drill I use, and I use it all the time. I already had this drill kit for about 3 years. I needed to get a new battery as 1 was starting to not hold a full charge. This gives me a spare screwdriver unit, 2 new batteries, another case, AND ANOTHER CHARGER.
My dad had one and I loved it and have not ben dissipointed with the one I bought one because I loved it so much.
The price is right, too. My old one built fences, screwed stuff together in my shop, and was always there, and worked. For only a few dollars more I bought a new one. I even bought one for my Son in Law. This is my second DW920K2. The old one still works fine, but the batteries were old, and needed replacement. I'm no professional, but know that this is one fine household screwdriver.
