DCD996X1 with swapped out battery
I was initially concerned that because this was a dcd996x1 with the large battery replaced that it might affect warranty but registration only concerns the drill sn. The operation is more digital than my previous other brand drill with discrete steps for speed as the trigger is pressed but the quality feels streets ahead with the full metal chuck. The case feels as though it should have a foam insert to stop things falling around if it is tipped over but just dont do it. I am likely to buy a second battery soon to fill one of the spare slots in the case although self discharge should be low and there is a battery level gauge on the battery. Very happy with this so far.Read full review...

A tough drill for tough jobs, highly recommended.
I have owned several cordless drills over the years, this one is the best by far. It is built for real tradesmen rather than just the DIY market. Feels very solid and has a great speed controller. The chuck has a lovely ratchet action and really grips well. The power this thing has is astonishing. Even the case it comes with is great, they have allowed enough room for the drill, charger and spare battery, as well as room for some drills, countersinks, step drills etc. It was really well though out.
My only slight criticism is that there are 11 torque settings and that is not enough for such a powerful drill. If you divide the immense torque this thing has by 11, the steps are too big. So for example torque setting 1 (the gentlest) will put an M3 x 8 screw into softwood, but not quiet tight enough. If you then select torque setting 2, it will strip the thread. For bigger screws it's fine. I think I'll keep my electric screwdriver for light jobs.
Overall this is a super drill and highly recommended.
