Like Butter!
Rating: 5
This drill makes holes in concrete like butter ( just make sure you hold it straight, and don't hit any re-bar!). I put 15 holes through 8 inches of concrete in a matter of minutes, just make sure you tighten the auxiliary handle well or the tool will spin on you! Comes with a large case that holes extra drills, and a really long cord (~ 10 ft.). The variable speed is handy as well as the hammer only mode ( I would also like a drill only mode as well a a reversing switch). Fine tool although the cardboard shipping box could be more robust and some foam inside the case to keep the tool from sliding around during transport.

First job: worked like a dream!!

I just used my Bosch 850 hammer drill for the first time taking out 16 SF of concrete to lower a shower floor. It helped do the job performing much better than I could imagine. I love this hammer drill.

Nice upgrade
Rating: 5
This drill is replacing a Bosch11240 that has drilled a lot of anchor holes over the last 9 years so when it came to getting another drill it was going to be a Bosch. We gave the new one the workout this weekend anchoring down tracks and this drill did not dissapoint and is much more comfortible to use, nice tool.

Reliable Rugged Tool
Rating: 5
We have three of these hammers in use and they get put through paces every day. These hammers take a beating with very little down time or repair. Definitely worth the money.

Great Bosch Hammer
Rating: 4
Great tool , use this almost every day for a few hours. i did have a issue with the fan making contact with the baffle and it melted together and seized the tool. took it in for warranty. a few days later got it back and it has not failed since. and that dates back almost 2 years. Very happy customer.!

Good Hammer Drill For The Price
Rating: 4
I use this primarily for light demo on concrete. This tool works well for chipping and removal of concrete around stub ups. It is light enough where it won't wear you out after 10 minutes of hammering. Good tool at a great price.

Rugged, powerful, effective tool
Rating: 5
I own several 20V max DeWalt drills and the impact driver. Once I started using these for projects around the property, my other wired tools have remained in the cabinet. I wondered if battery-powered tools would have the capability and endurance to function effectively. I wonder no more. There is no job on which any of my DeWalt wireless tools have failed to perform. Since buying my first DeWalt drill And impact driver, I have added the sander, plunge cutter, and sawzall to my tool cabinet. It is SO nice to take these anywhere on the property without having to worry about wires and extension cords. Because there are no wires to tangle and present tripping hazards the job site is safer. Moreover, the battery packs and chargers are generally interchangeable. It is a delight to work with these tools and know they will function and fit the purpose. Furthermore the designs seem ergonomic; no struggling to balance or grip. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Compact
Rating: 5
I have a few other drills, but this one is impressive. I love the compact feel and being able to get into those tight corners. It packs a big punch for being compact. It's also light weight so arm fatigue doesn't set in.

This little guy is just super!
Rating: 5
I didn't know what I was missing until I bought this in a kit (charger, 2 batteries and a zip bag). It's light, powerful and the 2 speed transmission works very well. It has worked well for drilling both very light and thin woods and heavy work. It is so controllable that I've even used it for driving and setting very small screws in thin wood. I love this thing! All of my other drills are now gone. It's a bit early to judge the durability but so far I'm thinking it'll be functioning for a long time. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Best tool!
Rating: 5
In my line of work, this tool always comes in handy. I use mine everyday at work, and as well as at home. The compact 1/2 drill is lightweight and made well. I love the light feature that is on it for those tough to see spots to drill. I have always used this brand & always will. I will recommend this brand to all. Keep up the good job Dewalt!

The best
Rating: 5
I started with rigid, and graduated to Dewalt, I own every 20 volt tool you make, every clamp, hammer, chalk line, ect, I will never buy any brand other, not even for a tool box, if they made cars or trucks I'd buy that, I do think they should come out with a clothing line because die hards like me would not we're anything else, seriously, if you buy another tool it's not because it's better its because it's 10$ cheaper and you will eventually return it and purchase Dewalt [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Handles Any Job You Can Throw At It
Rating: 5
I love this Drill! It can handle any job you can throw at. I use mine from working on my motorcycle to our kitchen remodel. The battery's last all day regardless of how much I use it. I have mine for awhile now and no signs of it slowing down even with the work I have put it through these last few weeks. When the days come to replace it, it will definitely be with another Dewalt!

Lightweight, convenient to use
Rating: 5
This was my first cordless tool purchase. It has made my home projects so much easier! I would avoid doing them dreading having to get the extension cords out for a small project. Now, I just grab it and I'm ready. The light is handy to help see. I've used it to drill in brick, change door hinges quickly and easily, clean grease spots out of carpet with a brush attachment. Wish I had gotten it sooner. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Performance meets precision
Rating: 5
I am consistently impressed with the quality and performance of this drill, I use it everyday with a flexvolt 60v 9mah battery and have never had one issue with this drill or literally any DeWalt products that I own. I am a DeWalt customer for life! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought this a couple of moths ago and it was working fine. Now it blows allot of smoke when I use it and it smells like it's burning [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Stopped working the first time!
Rating: 1
I was thrilled to buy this drill: I'd borrowed a friend's, and it was so much better than my old drill. So, I bought one for myself. It's emitting a short high beep and refusing to function. I've put in 18 1/4 in screws, and drilled 18 1/8 holes, all in pine. NOT hard stuff. It's refusing to do anything but beep at me. There are no notes in the manual on this function, either. Brand. Spanking. New. So frustrated.
