I see contractors dropping and banging those DeWalts and Milwaukees on a
daily basis and they are still going strong.
I dropped my 18V DeWalt Cordless Drill about 20 foot once when working on an

They are definitely made tough.

Also, the DeWalt combo battery charger / radio is a fine addition to any
DeWalt tool collection!
