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
Rating: 5
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....

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.

Awesome Set

I've had this set for a year now and it has been amazingly handy... I've ran the circular saw and both drills all day on multiple days and they keep taking a beating.... [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

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.]
