The Drill: My First and Favorite Power Tool

by netKat Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Feb 20 '00
Pros: Plenty of Power without the Weight
Cons: Corded
Ever since I first moved into my own apartment (more like a hovel) in the East Village of NYC, I always had a power drill. If there is one tool to have, this is it. From putting up shelves to putting together furniture, a drill can do it all....

Maybe the best 3/8 VSR drill anywhere.

by farmerea , Sep 23 '04
Pros: Lots of power, good chuck, nice long cord.
Cons: None found yet.
As often happens, I found myself in dire need when a power tool failed at the worst possible moment. When I purchased the DeWalt drill, I would not have considered a DeWalt tool had there been a "blue tool" available. Until encountering this fine piece ...

This is one great drill

by scotte1218 , Feb 18 '01
Pros: excellent power, relatively light, easy to use keyless chuck, affordable price
Cons: almost too powerful to use as a screwdriver (if you can call this a con)
As the owner of a 12 volt cordless drill, I was in need of a more powerful drill to handle the tougher jobs I was finding around the house. So instead of paying for a higher voltage cordless drill which can run anywhere from $100 to $300 dollars, I...

Nice Drill

by Blazer_Bob Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 12 '99
Pros: Chuckless, light, enough torque to go through most medium hard wood, stays cool
Cons: Torque is not enough to drill into knots
My father bought me this drill for my birthday this year, it has many times paid itself off building fences at my summer job.

The pros definitely outweigh the cons. By far, the best thing about this drill is the keyless chuck, time and...

DeWALT VSR DW106K

by richiehall , Jul 12 '01
Pros: Well made drill with solid feel and features that seem so natural
Cons: I don't get a chance to use this drill daily.
I've always wondered why manufacturers don't build tools that make sense, I mean, tools that go beyond their obvious intention. I wanted my tools to offer features of ingenuity, are easy to use and don't cost a ransom. These type tools should be the...

Best thing I ever won!

by Jheaton , Jun 10 '00
Pros: Power, durability, quiet motor, smooth operation, long cord and more..
Cons: Listed toward the end of the opinion, because it takes a while to explain.
Yes you heard right, I won it in a raffle drawing, and I must say, I am the only person in my family ever to win anything good at all, and this drill is really nice. I had three drills at the time already, and this became my favorite drill as soon...

DeWalt3/8 VSR Drill

by Elmi , Dec 20 '99
Pros: Powerful comfortable use drill
Cons: Would like to see a T-handle attachment
You drill, get a Milwaukee? Maybe, MAYBE NOT!

Maybe not if the drill available is a DeWalt's DW106 workhorse.

Please let me explain. I believe when buying a tool you spend the extra money to get a tool that creates power, ease of...

Family Tradition

by pichu210 , Oct 23 '04
Pros: great quality, durability
Cons: corded drill has some restrictions
When you come from a long line of builders, one of the first life lessons you learn is you must have good tools. My father and grandfather were carpenters, my uncle poured concrete, and my great-grandfather was a brick mason. As long as I can remember, ...

Power and Then Some!

by demon , Nov 09 '99
Pros: Power, power, power.
Cons: I don't have two of 'em!
About 3 years ago I went to Lowe's and bought myself this beauty of a drill. It was an impulse buy that I will never regret. This little Dewalt gem has been the most reliable and powerful drill of its size that I have ever had the pleasure of making a...

A Good Companion to a Cordless Drill

by oillogger Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 19 '01
Pros: Keyless Chuck, Built in Bubble Level, Light Weight & Belt Hook
Cons: Not Cordless
I finally replaced my old Sears drill with the DeWalt Heavy-Duty 3/8 VSR Drill DW106.

The first feature I fell in love with is the keyless chuck. No more searching for the chuck key! The keyless chuck is quick and easy to use. It holds...

DeWalt 3/8 VSR Drill - dependable and powerful

by KAR120C Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 30 '01
Pros: Good power, fair cost, corded so it always works!
Cons: The chuck may be a little weak, make a slight squeak.
I do a great deal of home improvement. Over the years I have tried a few cordless drills and they always where either uncharged (my fault) or lacked power (the fault of the cordless version). I decided I needed a corded drill that would last and have ...

Why I Like it, Why I Dont

by quadsteer , Sep 16 '00
Pros: light, comfortable
Cons: durability in question
I own this unit the DW 106 model Dewalt 3/8 drill. This is the no-chuck model. Friday my boss bought the DW 100, the same drill with keyed chuck. Even though I tried he still wouldn't return it! Let me explain.

This is a very good drill...

A Handy Package

by tjohnson , Dec 15 '99
Pros: Power, comfort, features
Cons: A few pennies more
This drill truly is a handy little package. I picked it up at a local tool specialty shop several months ago. Since then, I've used it to drive sheetrock screws, drill case hardened steel, pre-drill screw holes into wood, bore 1" holes in...

DW106, DW106K and D21008K, D21009, D21002

by different_user , Aug 15 '06
Pros: It's a powerful drill.
Cons: It's not a screwdriver.
A quick search at the Dewalt website tells me DW106/DW106K has been replaced by model number D21008K. I purchased model number D21009 which is identical to the D21008k except it has an all metal chuck. I've not experienced any of the problems with ...
