Compact, Efficient & Powerful
Rating: 4
Details I Like about this Product: -Lightweight -Durable plastic housing with excellent ergonomics -Belt Clip & Bit Tip Holder is convenient -Operating the drill at variable speeds is smooth and a joy! -EC Brushless motor is efficient and powerful with low temperatures and long run times -Light and Battery indicator are very helpful -Adjustable Clutch, Gear Shifter & Forward/Reverse Lever have reassuring positive action Details I feel this product can improve on: -The Locking Sleeve is designed so that 1" insert bits fit very snug and secure. However, Power-Bits and the included bit holder do not fit as snug and secure as the retaining ball within the sleeve is small and on one corner. I am not completely satisfied with the fit that bit holders and extensions have when inserted into this 1/4 hex chuck.

The Product Picture Is Incorrect
Rating: 2
I feel that Bosch is committed to both quality of their products and have displayed equal functionality to storage with the L-Boxx series. The PS22 is a great tool with several improvements over previous models such as brushless motors, onboard bit storage and the included belt clip. Absolutely impressive and useful. The huge downside to this tool is the advertised picture of the included insert for the L-Boxx 1. Instead of the pictured insert you will receive the generic drill insert that has the battery and charger spaces...NOT the one that has the rectangle spaces next to the driver as pictured in every ad on every web site for this product including Bosch's own site. I contacted Bosch and they showed no interest in correcting this mistake...they simply put the generic drill insert in all the boxes and you will end up with TWO charger/drill inserts in each L-Boxx and will have no way to change that through Bosch customer service. Very disappointed after spending so much time and resources to their storage system and line of tools. Just be warned...50% of my decision to purchase this tool was for the storage.

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. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Long Lasting

I've owned this drill for about 8 years now. Never had a problem. Even when dropping it off a ladder or using in the rain. Very dependable. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I use this drill at work 10 plus hours a day, and also have one at home, this is the very best drill/driver I've ever had, and hopefully ever need, scooping up another one as we speak for back up. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

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! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

It will drill through concrete and brick, but not really through the stone. Can take some beating no problem. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Excellent Hammer drill

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.

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.]

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....
