Tons of power. My fist use for this was mixing paint and is handled the chore easily. I also blasted a bunch of 1" holes through steel with a hole saw. I like the three speed gear box because it has so much power it will spin way too fast for some jobs (like paint mixing and using a hole saw) without choosing a slower speed. Yes, it has a variable speed trigger, but I noticed that the trigger can be a little difficult to modulate - on high speed, it can suddenly jump from slow to almost full speed with very little change in pressure on the trigger. The only negative is that if is a little on the heavy side, especially with the flexvolt batteries, but that was expected. It feels like a quality tool and performs great.

Heavy duty 20v Beast , its name is Debo, when Debo comes out the stuff goes flying ! The Dewalt 999 is great with a 5 amp hour battery I drilled 3" holes with a 3 " hole saw in 1st gear holding on for dear life , it's really strong , 3rd gear is super fast drilling holes in wood with 1" spade bits , gear 2 is your all around beast mode getter done speed, it has been a great addition to my yellow and black attack! 🐝

Excellent drill. Works great with an ice auger. Using 20 volt 4 or 5 AH batteries ….are plenty strong. Powerful, brushless motor, flex volt 60 volt batteries a nice option for even more power and longevity a nice option as well with this drill. Would highly recommend. Nice job DeWalt.

Greatest cordless drill that Dewalt has ever produced. The flex tech makes it work well with 6-12 amhour batt's. The brushless motor takes way less juice. Compact design with steel(not plastic) chuck and xrp body makes it tough too.
