A powerful motor that operates on 18 volt and delivers a power of 410 unit watts backs this drill and this cordless drill is easy to maneuver because of its compact size, design and weight.

You can also make use of the dual range variable speed control (0 to 500 rpm – slow speed and 0 to 1700 rpm high speed) according to the task at hand.

Now that I have your attention, here is a detailed DEWALT DC720KA drill review:

I would first like to draw your attention to the pros of this marvelous device.

How Much Should You Expect to Pay?

The DEWALT DC720KA Cordless 18-Volt Compact Drill/Driver is available on the DEWALT website for $252 but you really shouldn’t be paying any more than $200 for this drill. This is especially true with the new Lithium Ion batteries around which have been reported to be much better, both in terms of size, weight and performance than the conventional Ni-Cad batteries.

Overall the small size and weight specially comes handy when you are working in tighter places where there is not much space and combined with its high performance and its compactness, it does not come as a surprise that this drill has a very large loyal customer base.

This drill also has a very attractive warranty package. There is a three year limited warranty and a one year free service warranty that is available to you when you purchase this drill. In addition to the warranty provider, DEWALT also offers a money back guarantee if you return this cordless drill within 90 days from the date of purchase and this offer completely frees you any monetary risk as the product can be returned in the unlikely case of this cordless drill not being the right product for your requirements. The warranty is offered by the manufacturer itself and can be used in any part of the United States.

Apart from all these features and benefits the DEWALT DC720KA cordless drill comes with a range of other accessories. This includes two eighteen volt Ni-Cad batteries, a kit box, a one hour Ni-Cad charger that you can use to charge the Ni-Cad batteries.
