Powerful Hammer Drill
Rating: 5
Well-made, high quality product with sufficient power

amazing drill
Rating: 5
We got this a while ago and it is the best set of power tools I've ever used (because my old one was a 14v nicad black and decker that smoked when it ran). Long runtime with those batteries. Fast, powerful, light, and useful. This is the best drill ever. Much better than Ryobi 18v 1+hp. Summary: Best. Drill. Ever.

Guaranteed DeWalt Quality
Rating: 5
I recently purchased this combo kit to add on to my existing brushless set from 3 years ago. The hammer drill option and metal chuck are great features as well as the multi 3 speeds on the impact driver. Both have excellent power, build quality and the 4 amp battery is a plus. I would highly recommend this set for anyone in the construction field or even the homeowner for any project they could come up with. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

It'll Surprise You
Rating: 5
Bought the combo about 6 months ago and have used it on projects continuously. It's shocking how strong the combo impact drill driver is, massive upgrade from my old one. 4ah battery lasts a long time. Put a forstner bit in this thing and it will eat through all manner of hardwoods. I also recommend using the the detachable handle or really bracing when using larger diameter bits, I'll only make that mistake once. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Powerful combo kit!
Rating: 5
My husband surprised me with this set! I am in love with the hammer drill and my impact driver. I also believe the DEWALT bits to go with are very long lasting. Completely satisfied with this purchase. The batteries 20V, work amazing and hold their charge! I love how compact these are and very steady!

Solid drill for the everyday grind
Rating: 5
i have had this set since july 2019 and install solar panel systems almost every day of the week. To say the least these things take quite a beating up on the roof all day drilling out trusses and lagging bolts. I do take the best care of them that i can, and havent needed any maintenance or fixes done on either drill. But this week my driver chuck seized up to where its impossible to tighten fully and doing so takes channel locks, so i will be taking them in for yearly maintenance soon. HOWEVER everything is working perfectly on the drill so its still usable but its a pain. 10 out of 10 would recommend for the everyday on the job use. Batteries are still going strong, charger still charges.

The next level of pro tools!
Rating: 5
I bought this as my old drill (other brand) was getting rather tired and the batteries were starting to fail. I've always wanted a DeWalt setup becuase of their known efficiency, power and overall value. I've been EXTREMELY impressed with this setup! The small impact driver with the chuck is quick and lightweight, the hammer drill is just a monster! Love them both! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Good deal!
Rating: 5
About a year ago I needed to replace a battery for my 10+ year old Dewalt drill. Instead I decided it was time to just upgrade to a new drill. I saw this combo and was sold. Both drills have plenty of power, and both have a built in light. I love the quick connect on the impact driver. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Durable, Powerful, Must-Have
Rating: 5
I bought this set a while back, and it has done wonders since. These tools have survived 20+ feet falls, storms, wear and tear, and have proven to be a very smart purchase. They are a must have for DIY'ers as well as people in the trades. Highly recommend. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
