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.]

Long Lasting

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....

Very Tough
Rating: 5
I have used this rotary hammer for a year and a half as a professional electrician and could not be happier. This drill will run with the electric hammer drills all day and rarely needs a battery charged. Great investment!

Great hammer drill!
Rating: 5
I use this for work practically everyday and has never failed me once. Great battery life for drilling hundreds of holes in a day, anywhere from 5/32 to 3/4. Great balanced feel of the tool too for drilling at some awkward angles. Battery life is great as well. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

INCREDIBLY POWERFUL
Rating: 5
I was on a job that required the task of hammer through tough cement foundation walls. Perhaps with 3,000 ps1 or greater. And I over exerted the require strength thinking that it would have been needed while drilling. I must say that it worked marvelously without much effort. Great tool to add to your max line up. I'd definitely grade this tool with a 5 star.

Better then other brands corded
Rating: 5
I use this tool over the other brand corded tools that the company supplied. It's faster and stronger then the Bosch bulldog. Plus the vac attachment is really nice
