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.]

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....

WH18DBFL2QB 18V Lithium Ion Brushless Impact Drive
Rating: 5
I bought this brushless impact driver on the fly while engaged in a DIY project. I spent some time at the store, with a sales associate, who went through all the features of this product. I bought it, came back home with my new impact driver, and soon got to work where I had left off with my project. I didn't even have to charge the battery, it was ready to go. Operating this amazing driver was absolutely effortless. Terrific product. Five stars all the way!

Great product

My old drill was getting pretty worn out and tired. It would not even push a drywall screw the sheet into a 2x4.. i decided to try an impact driver for the 1st time after research i decided on the Metabo HPT driver. I am glad i did. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Real World Super Strength

Really powerful and very small. As good as the DeWalt or Milwaukee I'm real world usage. I've taken 3 crankshaft bolts out with it already, without locking up the flywheel. This thing is a beast.

I love this impact driver!!! It has all the torque I need to rip apart my motorcycle in a few minutes as well as hang pictures on the wall for my wife. its easy to use, light and has the power to do just about everything at prices better than Dewalt and Bosch with the same torque numbers. Great job Metabo [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Solid Tool
Rating: 4
Guy at work had a hitachi driver (5+ years old) and i picked up the now metabo one. Its worked good for me and i havent even needed to recharge the battery out of the box. The tool has an unbeatable warranty and price and i would recommend it based off my experience so far. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
