Summary: Real happy I purchased from Amazon.com
Comment: I ordered this drill last Wednesday and Fedex left it at my front door on Friday. Unfortunately it had been stolen by the time I got home in the evening. Amazon graciously sent out a free replacement on Sunday and it arrived on Monday! You can purchase from Amazon.com with complete confidence!
As for the drill itself, it is priced right. I have not really used it yet, but based on other reviews I am sure it will be great.

Summary: Great Drill
Comment: This drill was purchased to replace a less than adequate 15V Black and Decker drill. After using this drill to remodel a bathroom, I determined it could easily go toe-to-toe with my old BD 15V, and is much more comfortbale to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another DeWalt product.

Summary: Great power for a great price!
Comment: I have used this drill/driver for over a year now and I hope to get another one soon. It has PLENTY of power for what I do. I have built and assembled complete kitchens with this tool and never ran out of power with two batteries. Good speed control with the trigger, convenient direction reversal buttons, and a very adjustable clutch. 12V is plenty and gives this drill a nice balance between power and size/weight. Fits into most tight spots. Don't know what I did before I bought this great powerhouse.

Summary: This drill is perfect for my needs. Small yet powerful!
Comment: I have had a DeWalt drill for some time. I really like the chuck design which makes placing a drill bit or screw driver bit easy and almost a one-handed operation. The stop when power is shut off is a nice touch as well. The rugged good looks and attractive design seem to be just right. This new drill is smaller in size but just as powerful as my last DeWalt drill. My son now has my first drill and I have the new smaller version.

Summary: Good drill, good price
Comment: Well balanced and nice weight at 3.8 pounds, it is only 7 ounces heavier than the 9.6V it replaced (probably 10 years old). Work light is useful. Love the chuck. My old 9.6V Dewalt was 'grip strength' and I sometimes didn't crank it enough such that it would open if I reversed and there was tension on the bit in the wood. The new models have a ratchet chuck that is easy to tighten.
The 12V cost little more than 2 new batteries for the 9.6V it replaced and it came with 2 batteries, not a difficult decision to get the 12V. In fact, two 9.6V batteries cost 10% MORE than a new 9.6V drill WITH 2 batteries. Go figure. The Dewalt chargers are 'interchangeable'. Multiple voltages (7.2 to 18V) and the batteries for the 12V have the same 'plug' configuration as the old 9.6V so I have 2 batteries AND two chargers.
This drill has only 1 'holder' for screwdriver bits. Not a big deal, but I did like the "one on either side" bit storage on the 9.6V.
