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
Rating: 5
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.]

Excellent
Rating: 5
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!
Rating: 5
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
Rating: 1
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.

Power and balance
Rating: 5
I'm in my 50s and was looking for something that would be easier to use for longer periods to cut down on fatigue, but not give up power. This is the best at both. I love the ease of the chuck, the fact that the low profile allows for getting close to the edge, the balance of the weight and the simple level. Sounds nice too. The only thing I would love to see is a bit holder and second level for the Y axis too. Right now this is the perfect drill for me. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Amazing power
Rating: 5
The power is great! Whether drilling wood, masonry or steel, this drill has never bogged down or overheated. The trigger is smooth. The weight is very minimal and the grip is comfortable. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought this drill before I had cordless. It just works. Every time I pull it out of the case, it works. Easy to use and change out bits or mixers. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Stout product

I've only used it a few times in the last 6 mos, but it's performance is flawless, so far. Case is a nice accessory.

Chuck is not up to the power of the drill
Rating: 1
Poor duty cycle, overheats very quick, too hot to use. Takes forever to cool off. Chuck is cheap. 3/8 bit in mild steel, drill can't handle it. Sorry I bought it. Other reviews must be drilling in balsa wood, because anything else it can't handle
