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.

Great Combo Kit!
Rating: 5
I bought this for my husband to do work on our boat. Cordless makes everything so much easier on a boat. Lots of power and a good little speaker too! The surprise should make up for all the work we want to do!

Stop collecting throw-away tools!
Rating: 5
I always bought mid-level tools, and kept struggling for good results. I finally broke-down and bought Dewalt, and haven't looked back, my batteries last 10x's longer, my finished results are 10x's better, and the time I save lets me spend more time enjoying the fruits of my labor INSTEAD of waiting for batteries to charge and going back to the hardware store for more materials because the tools alignment slipped out again. Last year I did not own ANY Dewalt tools, now I own 14 Dewalt 20v MAX tools, this kit was my first purchase. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Bang for your buck!
Rating: 5
I've had this kit over a year now and let me tell you, what a great investment this is! You can do so much so easily with this kit! These tools are not the top models dewalt offers but it will definitely get the job done! Radio is not to bad but it's not the best but its very nice to have! Recep. Saw is great! I've used it so much, almost on daily basis and I can't belive it's still going strong! The drill and impact are definitely built though. I've dropped them countless times and they still perform normal to my surprise! Skill saw and grinders are also great products! I can't complain besides the fact that it didnt come with more batteries and chargers for so many tools. I ended up buying 2 more 2AH 20V batteries.

Well worth the money!
Rating: 5
I do a lot of diy projects around the house and am always looking for good and reliable tools. I got this combo kit two years ago and was very happy with the performance from each and every tool in the kit. It tackles all the tasks I throw at it and some. I have since bought 5amp batteries that are a great addition when I am looking for extended run times. I love that I can buy other dewalt tools and use the same batteries.

Well rounded tool set.
Rating: 5
I just purchased this set about 3 days ago. I have used the drill, impact driver, reciprocating say and flashlight in the past. The new peices in this set are the circular saw, right angle grinder and speaker. All have been tested and run and so far work great.

Great upgrade from my Craftsman set
Rating: 5
I love these tool so far. I had an older craftsman 19.2 volt system and I got tired of replacing the batteries, they are not cheap. I saw a good deal on this kit on amazon and lowes was willing to match the price so I bought them. The circular saw is one of my favorite, it has lots of power and it has 61/2 inch blade. These tools are being used to complete a bonus room that I'm finally getting to after 14 years (kids are getting older). Great set and fair price.

Kind of disappointed
Rating: 4
I bought this second set last since the first set I bought was great with no problems. I gifted my father my first set and bought this new one. This was was September of last year or so. And I have been really busy with work . Really did not start using it until three weeks ago. I started building my deck. One of the two batteries died. I put I on the charger over night friday and started again on Saturday. It indicated full charge. Started using it can even screw two screws before it is dead. The drill itself is having problem when you lock the bit in place and losses the lock when you put it in reverse. Just disappointed. Not what I expected. Like I said my first set was great never disappointed my second set mist of been made in China.

Weak sawzall
Rating: 4
This kit was very nice, and took some abuse all but the sawzall, I used it once to cut a box spring in half and it burnt up. Other than that it's a great starter set [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
