Older brushed DEWALT drill. Great if you find it deeply discounted and only need a basic drill on DEWALT batteries.

Researched: specs, expert tests and owner reviews How we evaluate
Probably not. There are better choices. You can spend a little more: the brushless DCD791D2 is lighter, stronger and runs longer per charge, and often costs only $60-80 more. We score it 6.6 out of 10.
$100–$140
Usual price range in the US. At or below $100 is a good deal. Paying more than the top of the range? Check another store, or wait for a sale.
Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless 1/2 in. Drill/Driver Kit PCL206K1

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2903-22 1/2″ Drill/Driver Kit
Usually $300–$380. Pick it if you want a drill that never feels underpowered, from lag bolts to big hole saws, and you plan to stay on the M18 platform.
