Great drill except
Rating: 5
Bought my drill just less than 2yrs ago. Been a great drill until 1 day used it in hammer mode and now its stuck in hammer mode no matter where you set to. Dewalt is sending a label for it to be shipped to a service center to be checked and repaired or replaced I suppose. I have really liked this drill. Hope all ends well

Great, Powerful Tool. Solid Metal Chuck Collar
Rating: 5
I've had this hammer drill for just about a month. I'm not a construction worker who uses this every day, but I'm a facility manager who uses is occasionally. I didn't want the regular drill/driver, because I do need to occasionally drill into concrete. I needed the hammer drill. I looked online, and also went into the store to look at them in person. I advise you to know what you want, because there are a few models of Dewalt hammer drill. I saw some that had a plastic chuck collar, and just looked and felt cheaper. I saw this one with the metal chuck collar. It's a much more solid tool, and even feels more solid in your hand. Sure, it's a little heavier, but if you're using the hammer drill function, that's what you want. After all, if you didn't need a hammer drill, you would just get a regular drill/driver. I wouldn't trust that plastic chuck collar to hold up well in the hammer function, which is why I specifically got this model with metal chuck. It took some more work to find this one and order it, but it was worth it. I've used it to drill concrete, and for regular drilling. If you're working overhead, yeah it's a bit heavy, but I'll take that trade-off to have a solid tool that will last. One last word; I didn't think I would need the Tool Connect feature, but I do manage two different properties, and it has come in handy to be able to track the tool.

Will Always use Dewalt
Rating: 5
I have had this drill going on three years now and it is still going strong. I work in construction an often need to go hammer drilling to hand equipment in places that can be difficult to reach with a corded drill. This drill has never let me down. The power and drive this drill delivers often outlasts and outperforms other brands. My friends who use Milwaukee offer come burrow my Dewalt when they need the job done and their drill won't cut it. About a year ago I lent my drill to someone who misused it. The damaged the chuck prints badly and it no longer was able to sustain its grip on any bits. I took it to a Dewalt service center in Carrollton, TX with my receipt and they took care of the repair for free under warranty. Staff were friendly, respectful, understanding, and polite. They repaired the problem quickly and it has worked great since. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

A Beast of a Drill
Rating: 5
Bought this drill about a year ago and have put it through its paces nearly daily. Everyday it does what I need and then some out preforming every other drill I have and all of my friends drills. Moment I first put a battery on it and let it go I knew I was in for a treat and I was right. Haven't found a single thing it struggles with. And thanks to the Bluetooth I'm not worried at all about it going missing. Wish I had more tools as reliable as it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I love my 20v Dewalt cordless drill
Rating: 5
It has held up very well and the 20v lithium ion batteries are light and powerful. The drill clutch is still going strong after months of use drilling plate steel, sheet metal, plastics and lots and lots of wood. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great Drill!
Rating: 5
I have owned this drill for about 8 months now. I have absolutely no complaints, although I will say if you plan to do some serious work with this, pick up a few 5 or 6 amp hour batteries. This drill chews through the batteries provided in the kit pretty quick. I have found this tool capable of doing everything I've put it through. I'm not a contractor of any sort, but I'm an avid DIYer and handyman-on-the-side, so this tool has seen some serious use. Haven't found anything it can't drill through quickly and efficiently when using the proper bit, and it's light enough even with a 5 amp hour battery attached that I don't get fatigued. The built in LED lights are great, they adequately light up the project and I've rarely found that my hand or the workpiece gets in the way. I have not used the Toolconnect feature, but if it performs like the rest of this drill, I have no doubt it would also exceed my expectations. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This drill has done everything I put it through with ease. Whether it's drilling pilot holes in glass tile or installing lag bolts with the hammer feature ! Great drill! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

great light
Rating: 5
I bought this drill a little over 2 years ago befor I started college. In that 2 years between job sites at school and summer work, its been worked real hard, droped dozens of times, been rained on and so on, and the drill still works just like new. I've used this drill from rough framing to boring holes in the cabinet shop and if I could do it again I would buy this drill. takes a beating, isn't too heavy, plenty of power and the battery is the best I've ever had.

Battery failure - a second time
Rating: 3
I bought this drill last week but had to return the first one since one of the batteries refused to charge. My second one had the same issue. I kept this one on the assumption dewalt would call me and make it right. I have emailed, waited on hold, and now writing this review. Perhaps someone, just one, will call or email me And allow me to exchange the battery and make this right.

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!

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.]
