Latest Reviews	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. by Johnny5 on 2020-02-20T16:00:00 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. by Mtnwater on 2020-03-01T16:00:00 Absolutely a must have Rating: 5 I bought this a month and I am happy that I did. Super useful by Florin on 2020-06-01T17:00:00 Loved the Rotary hammer. Rating: 5 It’s amazing! Drilled through 4” of concrete in less than 15 seconds. by John C. on 2020-02-25T16:00:00 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. by fscaron on 2017-07-04T17:00:00 Works like a Champ! Rating: 5 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. by Mad Shirt Grinder on 2016-12-15T16:00:00 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. by 100000000000000 on 2017-04-03T17:00:00 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. by Bob6185 on 2016-12-19T16:00:00 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. by Sandman on 2017-06-08T17:00:00 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 by Venecio on 2017-06-29T17:00:00	Will not be disappointed Rating: 5 Have 2 of these (4 compacts as well) in the shop. One is 6 years old and the other is 5 years old. Have been used indoor, outdoor, hot temps and freezing temps. In a manufacturing setting as well as on the mining job sites they've never let us down. Very happy with these drills and the abuse they take.

Even when dropping it off a ladder or using in the rain. Very dependable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] by 19shawn72 on 2020-06-02T17:00:00 Can't beat for price Rating: 5 Nothing will beat a corded hammer drill but this Dewalt, for price paid, is just about all you need. It's three speed and and all metal chuck are a nice change from the (becoming more common) plastic chucks. It provides power when needed (coupled with the 8AH battery) and can take a good beating. I am not a professional but do use my Dewalt drills for a lot of around the house and "can you help me with this" tasks. The drill is on the heavier side but is not a complaint from me for price paid and product given. Would buy again!

Can take some beating no problem. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] by Shelest on 2019-11-04T16:00:00 Great Tool Rating: 5 Easy to use, very powerful, good replacement for a corded drill, great range of adjustments for any type of work. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] by IT Guy on 2019-11-06T16:00:00 Excellent Hammer drill Rating: 5 This hammer drill impressed me the first time I used it. Still does a year later. I absolutely love this drill. All the power you need to get through the toughest of jobs. by Shredder646 on 2019-11-29T16:00:00 Good drill Rating: 5 All you need in a drill. Reliable and powerful. 20v by jcee on 2020-02-29T16:00:00 Best hammer drill on the market period. Rating: 5 I’ve owned several brands of power tools and dewalt is by far the best one out there. My tools are my money makers and nothing even comes close to the quality and dependability of dewalt. They’ve been left out in the rain, frozen solid, fallen off roofs and out of scissor lifts, dropped in puddles of mud and in the dirt and they still come to life every time I pull the trigger. Don’t settle for anything else. Buy the best, buy dewalt [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] by Jcosta on 2018-11-12T16:00:00 Last drill you will ever need! Rating: 5 Very satisfied with all my 20v tools. I use this my drill almost everyday and even though it no longer looks pretty, the performance is! Never really had a dewalt tool I wasn’t satisfied with. I’m not a brand loyal type of guy but when I’m ever in doubt, or choosing between brands I’ll go with dewalt. There comes a point in time when you realize it’s not worth it to cheap out.... [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] by Damian27 on 2018-11-12T16:00:00
