V28

Purchased in 2007
Strengths: The batteries seem to last a bit longer than DeWalt tools. The Drill is balanced well (it will stand up on its own) which helps reduce fatigue in the wrist when drilling overhead. The batteries have a power gauge to show when it's about time to charge before it's dead. Plenty of power to spare and the other tools in the kit are professional quality too.
Weaknesses: The drill is a bit on the heavy side but this is to be expected. There is a lack of other tools that work with the same batteries. Replacement batteries are a bit on the pricey side but the DeWalt lithium ion batteries and drill are WAY more expensive.
What You Wanted to Know Before You Bought It: I wish I had known about this drill before I bought my last 2 DeWalt sets.
What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: Make more products that work on the V28 battery system. I had the 18v set before and it came with an impact screwdriver that made several tasks much easier. Also, make a GOOD radio with a decent tuner that gets good reception. Include the dual battery charger with the 4 piece set instead of the single charger.
