I bought this tool a few months back and it has been a life saver. I have renovated multiple bathrooms and have used it in the demo process and it has cut my time in half. Best of all it has saved a few years off my body and for that I am truely grateful!!!!!

Solid , great features !!

This hammer is a beast , put a Bosch Drill bit HCF2087 with this hammer drill , an it goes through 60 year old concrete like a wood bit through wood . Seriously , just the weight of tool is all that's needed . The over load clutch is a great feature !! Anti-vibration feature is awsome . Hardly any hand or wrist fatigue !! Just a AWSOME HAMMER DRILL !!

Increadable power!!!
Rating: 5
I was using a standard dewalt power drill with a cement bit in it, and it wasn't doing anything. I bought this new bosch rotohammer and it instantly drilled the holes into concrete like a knife through butter. If you are debating about spending the extra money on getting a quality tool like this, DO IT!!! Its worth every penny, and makes concrete drilling a piece of cake!!!

First Rotary Hammer
Rating: 5
This was the first rotary hammer I bought; I have used it on a number of jobs and it works extremely well. Great for removing tile work with the tile chisel and drills into concrete like it's soft wood. I've lent this to a number of friends and family member and everyone has only good things to say about it. All around a great tool.

Time and arm saver
Rating: 5
Doing a kitchen remodel, have 200 square feet of ceramic 12X12 tile to tear up thats on a concrete slab. I first started with a cold chisel and a 3# sledge. After about 2 hours my and only about 25 tiles removed I had enough. I got this and some different flat and scraper chisels, literally I was taking up tiles in seconds, and even a tile that tried to fight me still only took 10 seconds maybe. Plus I wasn't having tiny pieces ricocheting all over the place, this did a tremendous job keeping the pieces from flying around, most of the pieces came up in big chunks, many the entire tile broke free. I thought initially its going to take forever to clean up the mastic but this tool with the scraper literally has my slab as smooth as marble. I would't believe I could get it so smooth in preparation of a wood floor. Tool never bound up, never overheated and was a joy to use. I like the tool free bit changes and the retractible hook that lays up against the handle can come in handy if you are on a ladder and need to set the tool down. Could not ask for anything more, saved my arm for sure and time, couldn't tell you how much time this has saved me and gotten my concrete slab perfectly smooth, you would never believe mastic and tile was down for 24 years..

So far so good

Haven't used Bosch roto-hammer products for quite a few years when I used to do Industrial Electrical work. I recently purchased for my handyman/renovation business mostly for tile removal work as well as replacement of damaged/frozen water spigots on homes, where the 1 1/8" hammer drill bit will come into benefit, so we never have to hand chisel brick openings any longer to accommodate new frost free spigots we use. Just purchased a nice set of chisel tips and drill bits for this tool as well from Bosch. This tool I purchased actually on a Black Friday special deal recently (at Lowes) where they only had 6 for sale, which were not the normal Bosch 1" max hammerdrills they sell, and this would accommodate up to 1 1/8" SDS bit , a larger motor, plus was manufactured in Germany, and reason I decided to purchase it.

Look no further!

After starting a pretty straightforward handrail project, I quickly realized that my cordless drill (not a Bosch tool) with hammer function just could not handle drilling 1/2" holes in 50 year old concrete. I nearly burned up my cordless drill before giving in and buying this Bosch hammer drill. The difference was IMMENSE. I made the remaining 4-6 holes in a matter of seconds (where my smaller drill took several minutes per hole). Definitely a matter of 'the right tool for the job,' and if you are looking for speed and precision in drilling into masonry, this Bosch tool is essential. Though I do not use it everyday, I've used Bosch rotary hammer tools in the past, so I'm confident this one with stand the test of time.

Very fine tool, nearly perfect.
Rating: 4
Beautiful little tool, perfect balance between power and weight. One thing I didn't love, is the depth stop rod, which seems to hold solidly enough for now, is a little loose because of the way it is held in place (a toothed edge that engages with a spring-loaded toothed clip.) Time will tell.

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.]

Lightweight & powerful!

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

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.
