I got this for my dad after he lost his tools from a cargo. He loves it! Strong drills and lightweight body. It can drill good enough for its size on the concrete pillars.

I got this hammer drill because I’m on jobsites with no power all the time, I was worried about performance when coring larger diameter holes, but it cored me a 6in hole in 12 inches of brick and cinder blocks, that were filled solid, better than my corded drill, and with the 60v power I still drilled 50 or 60 drop in anchors with one battery. I love this drill, really made one of my most dreaded tasks into one of the easiest!

Purchased this last summer for a Old Brick Mansion renovation. Have used it for everything. Anchor bolt holes, chipping concrete and brick to small core bits for plumbing , electrical holes and removing tile and mortar beds. Has handled all Ive thrown at it. Love not have to drag cords around and has been a geniune time saver. It doesn’t replace a demo hammer but it was surprisenly strong for only 6.1 joules. Will probably purchase the 2″ Combo next, now that I know that the battery power will perform.Pros- are it is cordless, saves time on set up, has the power for small to medium jobs. Versitale drill.Cons-No reverseOverall I would buy again for an everyday combo hammer drill and I do recommend for any pros.

I purchased this hammer drill and three 6 Ah batteries over a year ago. I have a 20 acre property in west Texas with lots of sandstone rocks, boulders, and a clay-sand hardpan about 2 inches under the ground surface. I primarily use this tool to break up large rocks in areas I want to cultivate, and to drill holes for fenceposts and for bamboo poles I use to provide warning of big rocks in fields that I don’t want to run over with a plow or mower. I have successfully used 1.5″ x 36″ and smaller hammer drill bits, 1″ wide flat chisels, a 3.5″ asphalt cutter, and a 4.5″ clay spade with this tool. The tool has the power to drill in sandstone, but that power drains batteries pretty fast. One 6 Ah battery gives about 10 minutes drilling or hammer-chiseling time in rock, enough to bust a few rocks or drill about ten 8″ deep holes in rock. Because I don’t have a portable generator to power a corded tool of similar capability, I chose the cordless version. If you have the patience to do a little work at a time and then recharge batteries, this tool works. If you need to operate continuously for more than a half-hour a day, you would be better off investing in a generator and a corded tool.

I have been using Dewalt tool since I was an Electrical apprentice and quality and proformance was always a cut above, because seems guys with other brand cordless power and to me Dewalt is the best. This tool right here is quality.

I purchased the flex volt cordless hammer drill to drill holes. I knew that it had a cordless chipping hammer function. I did not for see a need for a cordless chipping hammer. The other day I needed to tunnel through a gravel infused dirt. I put a small spade bit in the Hammerdrill chipping hammer and made two tunnels under two footings on one charged battery. I was very impressed.

I got me one of these bad boys back when they first came and these things are a beast for a cordless tool. I am a contractor so I’m constantly using this thing. It drills holes like a charm and it also helped me bust a large chunk of concrete out of a basement wall when I was putting in a new casement window one time. I am totally happy with it. Something I will say thought dont expect too much out of it as you have to remember this is a cordless tool and you jus can’t pack the punch that some corded tools can. If you’re planning on using core bits I would advise to get the one that’s the next size bigger or a big corded one.
