Product Description -- These days, almost all professionals and do-it-yourselfers rely on a cordless drill/driver--and for good reason. Take the DeWalt 14.4-volt 3/8-inch cordless compact drill/driver kit. It features a 3/8-inch keyless ratcheting chuck, two gear settings (low torque/high speed and high torque/low speed), and a variable speed trigger switch with electric brake. Powered by a DeWalt-built Series 3000 motor, the unit delivers 350 in./lbs. of maximum torque and speeds of 0-400 and 0-1,400 rpm. An 18-position clutch makes it easy to match the drill's torque setting to the precise application for even better results. Even with all its power, the DeWalt drill/driver is still comfortable to hold and offers good overall control. An all-metal 5-5-5 planetary gear transmission and solid construction throughout help to ensure a longer tool life, another definite plus for this hard-working performer.
From the Manufacturer -- DeWalt has redesigned its compact line of drill/drivers to produce more torque and provide increased durability. Weighing just 4.2 pounds, the DW928K-2 14.4-volt drill/driver delivers 350 in./lbs. of maximum torque thanks to the DeWalt-built Series 3000 high-performance motor. The DW928 has an 18-position adjustable clutch for driving screws without overdriving them. The dual range 0 to 450 / 0 to 1,400 rpm VSR feature provides flexibility for both large and small applications. Other features include a 3/8-inch ratcheting chuck that provides increased gripping strength and all metal planetary gears for increased durability. The kit includes the drill/driver, one-hour charger, two compact batteries, double-ended screwdriver bit, and heavy-duty kit box.

Reviews:
This is a very powerful drill! -- When I began looking around for a replacement for my 9.6v DeWalt cordless drill, I assumed I would be buying a 12v DeWalt. My 9.6v almost always had the power to do what I asked of it, so 12v seemed the next logical step. Then I found this 14.4v drill for an incredible price at a day-after-Thanksgiving sale (Lowes). In fact, the 99 bucks I paid for this drill is less that what I paid for my 9.6v 8+ years ago!
After using this drill on a couple of projects I can say two things with all honesty. First of all this drill is not overly heavy (I was worried about that), and second, it has power to spare. I suspect that the torque this drill provides is overkill for driving screws in most applications - afterall I was happy with the screw driving abilities of my 9.6v. However, it is very nice to have that torque when you are drilling through wood with big bits.
Basically, this drill is a very strong performer. The charger is well made, I have had no problems with it or the batteries, and the case is well made. If you have need for this kind of power or you find a good deal like I did, I highly recommend that you make this purchase!
Top Notch. Performed Better Than Expected -- The DW928K-2 was the first cordless drill that I purchased (over 5 years ago) and I've been extremely impressed with its performance. I make cabinets on the side and, naturally, I'm a weekend warrior. This drill has NEVER let me down. Though I've been able to drive 3" wall anchors with no problem, I would suggest pre-drilling for a couple of reasons. First, it will prevent future (or immediate) cracking in the wood. Second, the counter-sink looks so much nicer. Third, it's just a lot easier to drive that long screw. If you've got substandard screws, your drill might tear off the head ;-). The pinnacle of the drill's performance was mixing thinset for laying tile. My corded drill burnt right out. Even a friend's big 1/2" chuck Makita was getting too hot to hold and I was smelling smoke. My 14.4 DeWALT came through like a trooper. But hold on tight, the drill's so powerful that it could break your wrist. As far as the speed settings go, always remember to use "1" for driving screws and "2" for drilling holes. The lower number is slower (yeah, I'm a fast one). Slower driving of screws will reduce stripping and breaking bits. As my cabinet business grew, I bought another one of these drills. A great advantage to buying 14.4 DeWALT drills is that there's a whole brigade of DeWALT tools that use the same battery, and they all come with their own battery and charger. I have two drills, a flashlight, a circular saw, and I just purchased a right-angle drill in the same line. I've always got a couple of batteries in the charger, and I'm always prepared to start working. As is the same with most batteries, try and run your battery out before charging it, and let it charge fully (until the light on the charger stops blinking). There are jobs that are too much for this drill, but they are generally big professional jobs (not for the standard weekend warrior) and that's why DeWAL makes an 18v and 24v line!
Good solid light weight drill -- I bought this drill at lowes for $75.00 with 2 batteries and case. At 4.2 lbs it feels like a feather compared to my monster 18v Bosch hammerdrill(6.7 lb). It seems to have all of the power I need,and it can handle the bigger bits.It is a real arm
saver.
Dewalts new compact series drill has more power than the 928,but also weighs several ounces more. The 928 is the most comfortable drill I have ever used.
I have found that the 928 has several limitations.
1. Limited runtime, while the 928 can use the big bits,it can't drill nearly as many holes as my 18v Bosch,this would probably apply to most 14.4v drills.
2. Two sleve chuck,Single sleeve is better.
3. Poor finish, The seam between the two body halves, are poorly finished,and are irratating in the handle area. I have noticed this on many of Dewalts Mexican made tools.My bosch on the on the other hand the body is perfectly finished.
All in all,it is a fine drill,if you can get one at a good price(like I did). Remember,The current drill goes for about $170.00 in most stores,I only paid $75.00. I have learned that when at home depot or lowes,always to check the return rack.
Great Upgrade -- This is a replacement for my old 9.6V. Did not want to go up in voltage because of the balance and wieght of my 9.6V. Wrong answer. The DW928 is well balanced and the weight is not noticable. The speed switch works easily. Which is a great improvement in the cordless line. Others i have looked at were hard to move. Many more clutch settings over my old one. Battery life is unreal. Really gave it a workout. Good Job DeWalt I would highly recommend this drill if 14 Volt is your game.
