I know this question may sound rediculous to most men, but I’m a woman who knows nothing about power tools. ;)

I purchased a 12V DeWalt Cordless Driver for someone and I’d like to know how this drill charges. I bought it used and it only has the 12V battery pack on the bottom of the drill. The drill is fully charged and has tons of power. Is there an adaptor or charger that I need to purchase as well?

Yes. It is a plug in unit that the battery sticks into.
You might find one in a pawnshop or something.
Most building supply stores sell spare batteries and chargers too.

Obviously yes it does need a charger, and a second battery comes in very handy if he wil be using it a lot(1 being used, 1being charged)
I would tend to shy away from this type of tool at a pawn shop since you really don`t know what kind of performance you will be getting. Also you won`t know if it`s the right charger. Newer style batteries won`t work well(if at all) in the older style charger.
I`d bite the bullet and buy a new one(around $80), Batteries for a 12 should be a little less, about $60?(never priced a 12, 14.4s are about $70)
