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

Durable drill
Rating: 5
Once I recieved my drill I read over the instructions and began charging one of the batteries. The first thing I noticed was something I had never seen before, a "damage" indicator. It lets you know if the battery is damaged so it takes the guess work out of reasons why the battery wouldn't be charging. In a short time the indicator said it was ready to use. My first project was to hang a couple of fire extinguishers I had sitting around because all I had was a heavy cord drill. The screws went in with ease. The drill is very lightweight, quiet and yet powerful. This is a great addition to my power tool collection. And don't forget you don't have to wait for the battery to charge, because it comes with a spare!

This is a great drill
Rating: 5
This drill works really well and fast. It has a brushless motor which causes it to be able to run for a really long time. It is light weight and relatively compact so it fits into tight corners which is helpful when trying to fix things around the house. It runs for a long time . It uses 2 Lithium ion batteries which are included in the box. It also comes with a charger. Overall, it's a great drill for a house owner to have to be able to fix things and do simple building projects.

So easy to use
Rating: 5
I am deathly afraid of power tools of any kind so me using a drill was a surpise to me and everyone else. I was so afraid to use it, but it was easier to use than I expected. The drill bits from were easy to find and purchase for drilling (It only comes with the screwdriver bit) but the bits aren't expensive, and I just needed to hang curtain rods so it wasn't major (boyfriend went overboard and bought lots). Two batteries are awesome. I heard the drill going for a while in back when they were fixing the gutters. Now we don't have to borrow the neighbor's anymore. Recharging is easy and doesn't take very long. Neighbor is a construction worker and he loves it, he didn't want to give it back. I'd say that is a positive recommendation for it in my book any day.

Five Stars
Rating: 5
Every carpenter I have seen at the renovation at my home had this brand. The grips felt good in my hand giving me a good grip on the drill. Really enjoy this drill. Light, strong, and very user friendly. Excellent tool. Well made. Very powerful. The batteries last long between charges. It is driven by a brushless motor. Very smooth and efficient.Great drill. I use this drill constantly in the winter with roto brushes when tuning race skis. The two included batteries allows for continual use. Good power and speed. The power control is excellent. It can carefully and slowly rotate with precision or drill away at high speed. I used the drill to build furniture, drill holes in walls, etc. Came with 2 batteries and a nice charger that shows when a battery is full. The LED built into the drill body is pretty bright. Definitely adequate to see what you are drilling even in total darkness. Adds a nice additional amount of light even when working in daylight that helps in shadows. Over all I am very pleased with the drill. More than enough power to get the job done for household stuff. Battery lasts for a long time. I charge it after using I for a dozen little jobs.Easy to operate and get the job done. I highly recommended this product

High-Quality Drill!

This is a high-quality drill that feels comfortable in my hand and has the power to get the job done. It includes batteries, a charger, and a bit, so you have everything you need to get started! I am a Walmart associate writing this review as part of a contest.

Easy to use and plenty of power

I am always nervous about limited torque in a cordless drill. This one has plenty of torque and was really easy to see up and charge. The unit is lightweight and sturdy. I also appreciate how quickly it chatges.

Great Improvement

I used to use corded Porter Cable products years ago and they never failed me. I am now upgrading my power tools to the recent line of 20v Porter Cable. This driver is by far much better than expected and so far I'm going on 3 weeks on a single charge, (20V 4Ah battery). Great job Porter Cable.

Good drill for the diy
Rating: 4
I have several porter cable drills and this one is just as good in performance. The battery that comes with it is smaller than the other drills I have but it is brushless and seems to have more power. The 2 speed and torque settings are good and the keyless check works well. The battery life is good. The only thing I would like to have on it is a battery level indicator. Great product.
