  1. It was a lithium ion 18 volt battery - don't know if slide pack or not.
  2. Thanks for your help. Looking back at the deWalt website I can see that almost all their corded drills have a forward handle. The one I held did not, but perhaps the forward handle was removed. The one I held looked very much like DWD112. Even in that picture it looks like most of the weight is forward of where your hand goes. Maybe that model is not designed to be aimed parallel to the floor - the other pictures of the drill being used have the drill pointed down.
  3. Hi - this is my first post. It's time to replace my 14-year old deWalt cordless drill and I'm deciding between corded and cordless. An important decider for me is how comfortable the drill feels in my hand. I hoisted a cordless deWalt with an 18 volt battery, and it wasn't too bad. I thought a corded drill would be lighter, since there's no battery to lug around, but I was in for a surprise. The corded deWalt I held had a pistol grip, so most of the weight was in front of my hand, rather than on top of my hand. That made it harder to keep the drill level and it was not comfortable. Am I misunderstanding something here? Like, is a corded drill supposed to be used with both hands? I learned that you should keep your hand well back of the chuck when drilling. And with both hands supporting the drill, I can't push on it from behind when additional pressure is needed.
