We have had this since shortly after it’s release. Works well and we have had zero issues with it. Daily work use. We only buy Dewalt.

I have been purchasing DeWalt tools for my Handyman Buisness for about 2 years now and this Hammer-Drill is hands-down the best on the market. There is a reason I have been so attached to the Dewalt brand and that reason lies with the craftsmanship, quality, durability, and aesthetics. Coupled with the 5AH and 6AH battery packs there has NOT been a job I have come across where this drill has not been a main driver to that jobs success (no pun intended). The hammer drill is powerful, and at the same time convenient and compact. The added work-light on top of the battery pack is the perfect add-on, fully illuminating the point of contact and more. There have been a few occasions where the light has been my flashlight for the task at hand. I cannot say enough for this product, the power that this drill packs is unmatched by the competitors, and I will continue to purchase and promote the DeWalt brand to my clients, friends and family. DeWalt tools might cost a bit more, HOWEVER, I can just about guarantee that you will not need to buy any other tool in the category. These black and yellow beauties will make you far more in the long run, as these tools will be the last tools you will need to buy, guaranteed for LIFE. I cant wait to get my hands on more DeWalt products, and I cant thank the team at DeWalt enough. This Drill is a must-buy for anyone who enjoys working with their hands, and who values quality, dependable tools.

I purchased approximately 3 years ago. It has performed without a problem since. the batteries are long-lasting and quickly recharged. More power than I have ever needed. Continues to function flawlessly with moderate and frequent use. I highly recommend it!

I bought this drill a few years ago after having a Porter cable set for many years. Thouroughly impressed with the power and how long it has stood up to the test of time. I no longer use it on a daily basis as my contractors supply our power tools, but I know when I need it at home its ready and willing. The hammerdrill setting is fantastic on most uses.. red brick seems to give it a challenge, nothing the Dewalt sds plus cant handle though. As a warning..this drill has enough torque to rip a man off a ladder.

I have this tool for a couple months. Typical DEWALT strength and durability! And light is an awesome feature!

This tool is certainly a durable, versatile tool. The battery lasts for multiple jobs and provides a rapid recharge as well. The ability to switch quickly between the drill to hammer drill option is amazing. The multiple speeds also allows for varying needs between drilling multiple materials and multiple tool bits with a single tool. Definitely a strong, durable tool.

I purchased one of these bad boys about 4 months ago and I’ve just gotta say I’m impressed! I’ve put up thousands of concrete hammer in anchors with this thing with not one single problem! I figured for the size it probably wouldn’t be powerful enough to replace my big corded bosch hammer drill but for installing 1/4 anchors it really saves me the time and muscles just carrying this drill and a few batteries around! Don’t let the small size fool you this little guy is mighty!

Bought mine about 3 weeks ago and have been using it a lot for roofing. I’ve accidentally dropped the thing off a roof 3 times without so much as a scratch.

I’ve had a Dewalt drill for years and keep replacing it with similar drills. I finally upgraded to the 20vMax system and am so glad I did. Not only do I have many more tools on hand that use the same system, but this hammer drill makes drilling easy with multiple speeds/torques and the hammer option with handle. Lasts all day even drilling through concrete!

I borrowed a DeWALT Hammer Drill To make twelve two inch deep holes in a Reinforced Concrete Wall. I Was So Satisfied with this Machine That I Am Buying One For Myself.I Could Not Ask Anyone To Try It For Themselves If It Was Not, The Best I Have Ever Used!

I am DIYer, my 12 yrs old 18V drill died out, I bought 20V about 1yr ago. it worked very fine. new design is lighter and compacter. one recommendation is buy larger capacity batteries

I bought this drill about a couple months ago and I have used it on quite a few projects already. The weight of the drill shows that it is made very well and durable. I love that the drill has a light feature as my last drill did not, which makes working late at night so much easier. The hammer drill feature that’s part of the drill works like a dream. I recently had used the hammer drill feature to loosen some bolts on my vehicle and can say that I had no issues or worries. This drill is simply amazing!!!
