Awesome hammer drill
Rating: 5
Used with Bosch 4 1/2” hammer bit and had no difficulties drilling holes in basement concrete walls and attaching 2x4’s with Tapcon screws. Easy to load and use. Avoided cheaper hammer drills where reviewers noted burnout issues after just a few holes. Very glad I did. Fifteen holes so far and drill and bit still working smoothly.

Easy Drill/Hammer
Rating: 5
Great tool. Will be great to use on a couple more projects I have. Easy to use and not so heavy or loud as some I've seen. Drill and Hammer action works great...put in sump pump - great tool.

This tool earns its name (bulldog)
Rating: 5
I bought it a week ago to remodel a basement bathroom floor (ceramic tiles) under which the heating cable went bezerk. It ate through the tiles (and when I learned the gentle way: taking them in one piece) and the wire and the auto-levelling concrete in less than a day (80 sq-ft). Works like a charm. I was surprised by the low level of dirt it created.

I used this rotohammer to remove mortar from a river rock patio and long walkway. Spent three days chipping tons of cement off of rocks and braking up the patio. Great machine for the $! Light and easy to use and maneuver. Basically a pro by the time we were done with that project and met all my expectations.

fast and easy
Rating: 5
Needed something to remove tile and mortar from the floor. Hammer and chisel was slow and involved lots of labor. I'm getting up in years and don't care for working on my knees for long periods. What took three hours to do with the chisel took about 30 min. to do with the rotory hammer.

Makes drilling holes in cement a breeze.
Rating: 5
I had 130 holes to drill to anchor large storage racks in a warehouse. My old hammer drill had trouble drilling the holes and went through many bits to get 20 holes done before dying. This hammer drill with an SDS drill bit for either 3/8" or 1/2" holes was recommended to me. I could not believe how easy it drilled the holes. I only needed 1 of each size bit to get the job done. It drills the holes effortlessly.

Wider choice of bits
Rating: 4
Have used Bosch tools over40 years in the commercial heavy construction industry. This one is not as heavy as past tools, to me means possible lack of performance and penetration. Need a larger choice of bits, can't find the "bush" hammer bit I used. The "SDS" is possibly great, I prefer the old ones. But, it is still a Bosch and I am a dedicated user of Bosch tools. Thank you for all the years.

perfect for home projects
Rating: 4
Ideal tool to have on a HVAC truck for drilling thru concrete walls or basement floors. SDS Plus saves me time spent on the job and i do not have to worry about burning thru several batteries on my cordless. I purchased this on the recommendation of several of my HVAC colleges and happy to use it daily

My first drill!
Rating: 5
Just recently purchased our home about a year ago. Along with purchasing our home, my wife had a long list of DIY projects that she wanted done. I will admit that I'm not the handiest of men but someone told that Dewalt was the way to go. Since purchasing this drill, I've mounted numerous heavy duty shelves, a foldable PRX home gym in our garage and other odd jobs around the home with ease. The drill is amazing and now I purchase nothing but Dewalt. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Compact, powerful drill.
Rating: 5
Bought this drill in a bundle with a Dewalt 60v circular saw. What a great value. The drill is very versatile and powerful, yet lightweight and balanced. Many of my coworkers on the job site use DCD998s, and this thing keeps up just find. It is a smaller form factor, and is much more pleasant to carry around than the heavier drills.

Fantastic and reliable

As always, DeWalt provides a solid, well made power tool. The Hammer Drill I purchased makes easy work for me and most importantly, efficient work. Well made, reliable and the second tool in my arsenal. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I purchased this as I needed something faster to drill into brick and this fit the bill perfectly. I have a bunch of other 20V Dewalt products (and batteries), so getting this made sense [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I recently purchased this 20v max XR about a month ago to replace my old dewalt 18v drill. Much better ergonomics. Lightweight. Fits great in the hand. Super powerful. Love the new work light implemented into the drill. Adjustable and very bright. Great battery life. Very happy with this purchase! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Rock Hard Durability
Rating: 5
I've been using DeWalt tools for 10 years. When I finally switched from the 18volt hammer drills to the new 20 volt lithium hammer drills, I couldn't believe it. My old drills worked hard and never missed a beat. I didn't think they could make them any better, but I'm here to say they did. The XR series is the best cordless series out there. When you switch the drill over to hammer on #3 speed it's like having a corded DeWalt rotary hammer. I can go on and on with the pros of DeWalt tools but simply put they're the best!

3 Months and broken
Rating: 1
After using this drill for 3 months only drilling through wood the chuck locked up. When I got the chuck loose to get the bit out one of the three locks fell out of the chuck. Going through the hoops of trying to get this warrantied now.
