Good durable drill this is a good drill. I have slowly moved more toward keyless chucks. they are a lot easier to use and i keep you from fuddling with a key or losing it. Very durable. it also comes with a warranty and the trusted dewalt name. the double handle grip makes it easier to drill straighter and hold it steadier.
A great drill but I chose the Milwaukee 0302-20. This is an awesome drill. I have been using mine for many years and it still works like new. I did have to replace the cord however. But if you count the amount of hours I put into it it’s amazing that it works at all! I made a video showing all the features I like about this drill. It may be helpful even if you are not getting this specific one. Just search DeWalt DW236 Review in youtube and you should be able to see it. I hope that helps!
I bought the Milwaukee 0302-20 and compared it to this drill. The Milwaukee 0302-20 had a few more features that I liked. They both felt the same as far as ergonomics. Check out the video for the details.
