Will not be disappointed
Rating: 5
Have 2 of these (4 compacts as well) in the shop. One is 6 years old and the other is 5 years old. Have been used indoor, outdoor, hot temps and freezing temps. In a manufacturing setting as well as on the mining job sites they've never let us down. Very happy with these drills and the abuse they take. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I've owned this drill for about 8 years now. Never had a problem. Even when dropping it off a ladder or using in the rain. Very dependable. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I use this drill at work 10 plus hours a day, and also have one at home, this is the very best drill/driver I've ever had, and hopefully ever need, scooping up another one as we speak for back up. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Can't beat for price
Rating: 5
Nothing will beat a corded hammer drill but this Dewalt, for price paid, is just about all you need. It's three speed and and all metal chuck are a nice change from the (becoming more common) plastic chucks. It provides power when needed (coupled with the 8AH battery) and can take a good beating. I am not a professional but do use my Dewalt drills for a lot of around the house and "can you help me with this" tasks. The drill is on the heavier side but is not a complaint from me for price paid and product given. Would buy again! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

It will drill through concrete and brick, but not really through the stone. Can take some beating no problem. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Excellent Hammer drill

This hammer drill impressed me the first time I used it. Still does a year later. I absolutely love this drill. All the power you need to get through the toughest of jobs.

Best hammer drill on the market period.
Rating: 5
I’ve owned several brands of power tools and dewalt is by far the best one out there. My tools are my money makers and nothing even comes close to the quality and dependability of dewalt. They’ve been left out in the rain, frozen solid, fallen off roofs and out of scissor lifts, dropped in puddles of mud and in the dirt and they still come to life every time I pull the trigger. Don’t settle for anything else. Buy the best, buy dewalt [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Last drill you will ever need!
Rating: 5
Very satisfied with all my 20v tools. I use this my drill almost everyday and even though it no longer looks pretty, the performance is! Never really had a dewalt tool I wasn’t satisfied with. I’m not a brand loyal type of guy but when I’m ever in doubt, or choosing between brands I’ll go with dewalt. There comes a point in time when you realize it’s not worth it to cheap out....

Absolutely Love it
Rating: 5
I bought this for small shop projects, and it has performed excellent. The ToughSystem Case is just amazing, and I love the storage. I can have everything I need in one kit! Variable speed on the impact driver is just amazing, and the drill works so well. Although I have had a few problems with the driver's trigger sticking, that is only when I pull it at a weird angle, and is easily fixed by a quick grip adjust.

Best Brushless Drill I have ever owned
Rating: 5
I have had my drill about a year and a half, and I have only charged one of the two battery once they hold a charge like no other. I will not own any other than a DeWalt [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The new workhorse!
Rating: 5
Bought this as I thought my 18 volt XR drill/driver was going bad. Used it a few times to make sure it worked well. It did. Bought the 18 volt to 20 volt battery adaptor versus buying new 18 volt batteries and found the 18 volt XR drill/driver is still working fine,the 18 volt batteries were just getting weak. This new daddy will stay in its case a while longer as the 18 volt unit is running like a fine watch now with its 20 volt 5 AH battery.

Simply, Put Outstanding!

The battery life is second to none. I can do much work between charges. It has plenty of turning power for any purpose, and the three-speed transmission is a great extra to control speed. I bought mine with several matching accessories and I find them all useful.

Bought this about 2 months ago! And it’s amazing. Works fast and easy, no fuzz. Drilling holes in large wood beams was a breeze and the speed was unexpected. Great tool great battery time. FYI bought one as a gift for my father as well! Loves it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have had my drill for some time & also another competitors drill, I always go back to "yellow jacket" as it sting can not be beat! Even with heavy daily workloads the drill & battery out perform any other drill/battery that I've had. I will always choose dewalt! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

We use dewalt products at work and they’re amazing. I needed a good drill/driver for home use and I knew that dewalt would provide a quality product. I couldn’t be happier. Tons of power and great battery life. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
