I received this yesterday, after several extra days of the USPS sending it all over the West Coast before they decided to finally send it to me, but after using it my ire, first caused by USPS, only increased.This drill may be able to eat, and I do mean chew, its way through soft wood, but for anything harder you will be wasting your time and money. After drilling five holes through a 18 gauge flat sheet of aluminum it was finished. On the sixth hole it just spun but didn't cut.
This Chinese manufactured drill bit is made out of cheap metal that is just a bit harder than the aluminum that I was trying to drill eight holes in. The last new DeWalt item I bought, a circular saw, was made in Mexico, but has performed well for the past 8 months. But since it now seems that DeWalt has changed to having its products made in China, after more than 40 years of me buying their products, that ends my relationship with DeWalt.
