Hard to believe anyone could break a Dewalt drill in half, but I guess with enough effort it could happen.
I'm an electrician and I work on big industrial projects. I also was a contractor for 20 years and I bought Dewalt tools after being fed up with Makita battery issues and the Makita thermal overload switches going bad constantly. The Contractors I've worked for since I closed my shop mostly use Dewalt tools and they get used hard every single day on the jobs we use them on. I'm seriously impressed with the fact they can live day after day with the abuse they get from some of these gorillas I work with, but they do. We do manage to destroy a few over time, but the contractors just buy more as they are about the best thing going for the money.
They new 20 Volt Li-Ion are the way to go if you are buying new tools. Lighter, more power, and the same reliability I've had with all of my Dewalt tools. Watch Amazon for pricing, I've found some great deals on there and replaced a few Dewalt tools I've used to death for many years at great prices.
