DeWalt DCD760KL Strengths & Weaknesses:

Design		Acceptable Design - While this drill has one or more design features that received a C rating, it can still be a good choice if that area is not critical to your particular needs.
Power		Below Average Power - Delivers up to 350 Unit Watts Out of power, about 10% less than the class average. Power can sometimes be traded for weight or cost.
Speed	√	Fast - Runs at speeds up to 1700 RPM, about 11% faster than the average drill in its class. The DeWalt DCD760KL ranks in the top 25% of 18 volt cordless drills for speed.
Weight	√	Light-Weight - Weighs only 4 lbs, about 21% lighter than the average 18V cordless drill. Ranks in the top 27% of its class for being light-weight.
Battery		Below Average Run-Time - Battery endurance is adequate for many work applications, but is 46% less than the class average. Uses Li-ion batteries with a charge rating of 1.1 Ah.
User Reviews	√	Highly Satisfied Users - Rated 4.6 of 5 stars by 52 users. Most owners are very satisfied with the performance and value of this cordless drill and would recommend it to others.
Power Ratio	√	High Power-to-Weight - Ranks in the top 45% of its voltage class for power-to-weight ratio, about 5% higher than average. Higher power-to-weight indicates an efficient design.
Gearbox		Nylon Gears - Transmission includes at least some nylon gears which may need replacing after years of extended use. A nylon gearbox helps reduce drill weight.
Chuck		Plastic Chuck Sleeve - While the chuck itself is metal, the tightening sleeve is made of plastic and may be susceptioble to cracking if the drill is repeatedly dropped.
Motor Brushes		No External Access - The motor brushes can only be accessed internally by taking the drill apart. While not a coomon problem, external access makes the replacement job much easier.
Warranty	√	Longer Warranty - Backed by DeWalt's limited 3-year warranty. This provides extra protection against potential design defects or premature part failure.
Bit Change	√	One-Hand - The single-sleeve chuck has a spindle lock so the drill bit can be changed with one hand. This is a very convenient feature that makes the job go faster.
Charger	√	Quick Charge - The DeWalt DCD760KL includes a battery charger that will recharge a battery in only 30 minutes. Long charge times are a common complaint with some drills.
Belt Hook		No Belt Hook - Does not include this convenient feature that frees-up both your hands to perform other tasks in-between drilling.
Work Light	√	Work Light - Contains an integrated LED work light that illuminates your work area and allows you to clearly see your drilling / driving position and progress.
Side Handle		No Side Handle - Omits the option to use a side handle that can provide stable support when drilling and driving larger drill bits and screws where additional torque is required.
Fuel Gauge		No Fuel Gauge - Does not come equipped with a handy battery charge indicator that allows you to glance at your drill and check your battery life while you're working.

DeWalt DCD760KL User Reviews Highlights

I am extremely impressed with this drill and I highly recommend it to anyone. This is a great drill. I love the light that comes on when I push the power button. I was delighted at how lightweight it was. Great DeWalt drill as expected, with noticeably reduced weight with the Li-Ion battery. This is the best drill I have used. It is not too heavy, very powerful and gets the job done. It has ample power, the battery life is great and the recharge time is short. Excellent drill with lots of power and torque. Lithium Ion batteries are light weight and charge quickly. If you're looking for a good cordless drill, you won't go wrong with this one. The battery lasts and lasts through many projects. You won't be disappointed! WOW, lots of power! Good quality! Power is superb. You can drive 3/8" lag screws with no problem. I'm very happy with this drill and haven't picked up my bigger one since getting this. The drill itself is excellent for heavier jobs and the keyless chuck works quite well. I feel the typical homeowner would be very pleased with this unit for most common tasks. This drill is a darn nice tool for its intended purpose which is well beyond occasional homeowner use.
