amazing drill
Rating: 5
We got this a while ago and it is the best set of power tools I've ever used (because my old one was a 14v nicad black and decker that smoked when it ran). Long runtime with those batteries. Fast, powerful, light, and useful. This is the best drill ever. Much better than Ryobi 18v 1+hp. Summary: Best. Drill. Ever.

Guaranteed DeWalt Quality
Rating: 5
I recently purchased this combo kit to add on to my existing brushless set from 3 years ago. The hammer drill option and metal chuck are great features as well as the multi 3 speeds on the impact driver. Both have excellent power, build quality and the 4 amp battery is a plus. I would highly recommend this set for anyone in the construction field or even the homeowner for any project they could come up with. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

It'll Surprise You
Rating: 5
Bought the combo about 6 months ago and have used it on projects continuously. It's shocking how strong the combo impact drill driver is, massive upgrade from my old one. 4ah battery lasts a long time. Put a forstner bit in this thing and it will eat through all manner of hardwoods. I also recommend using the the detachable handle or really bracing when using larger diameter bits, I'll only make that mistake once. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Powerful combo kit!
Rating: 5
My husband surprised me with this set! I am in love with the hammer drill and my impact driver. I also believe the DEWALT bits to go with are very long lasting. Completely satisfied with this purchase. The batteries 20V, work amazing and hold their charge! I love how compact these are and very steady!

Solid drill for the everyday grind
Rating: 5
i have had this set since july 2019 and install solar panel systems almost every day of the week. To say the least these things take quite a beating up on the roof all day drilling out trusses and lagging bolts. I do take the best care of them that i can, and havent needed any maintenance or fixes done on either drill. But this week my driver chuck seized up to where its impossible to tighten fully and doing so takes channel locks, so i will be taking them in for yearly maintenance soon. HOWEVER everything is working perfectly on the drill so its still usable but its a pain. 10 out of 10 would recommend for the everyday on the job use. Batteries are still going strong, charger still charges.

The next level of pro tools!
Rating: 5
I bought this as my old drill (other brand) was getting rather tired and the batteries were starting to fail. I've always wanted a DeWalt setup becuase of their known efficiency, power and overall value. I've been EXTREMELY impressed with this setup! The small impact driver with the chuck is quick and lightweight, the hammer drill is just a monster! Love them both! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Good deal!
Rating: 5
About a year ago I needed to replace a battery for my 10+ year old Dewalt drill. Instead I decided it was time to just upgrade to a new drill. I saw this combo and was sold. Both drills have plenty of power, and both have a built in light. I love the quick connect on the impact driver. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Durable, Powerful, Must-Have
Rating: 5
I bought this set a while back, and it has done wonders since. These tools have survived 20+ feet falls, storms, wear and tear, and have proven to be a very smart purchase. They are a must have for DIY'ers as well as people in the trades. Highly recommend. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Happy Mothers Day Indeed!
Rating: 5
This was my gift for mother's Day! I was so excited when I opened the package and found that it was a not only a drill but a Milwaukee hammer drill!!! I am not a professional but we are remodeling our home either to sell or to increase the property value. I have been doing all the work myself and have become quite good at it. This product has made it so much easier. and the hammer drill part I mean to be able to screw into concrete without killing myself is quite a feat thank you family for giving me the best gift ever. Looking forward to my next power tool to add to my ToolBox the M18 Sawzall! Oh and the product runs great, lightweight and 2 battery packs!

Gr8 Tool, I am a DIYER and I got the same results as my 18v
Rating: 5
Quick review : Views from an active DIYer I love the hammer drill , everything that I was able to do with my 18v tools. I got accomplished with the 12v little brothers. Having lightweight tools reduces the load and strain and is sure to add longevity to your work life. More In depth review: Hammer Drill: To switch the Drill/Drive mode you have to rotate the collar past 16, there are rubber molding by the hammer icon on the sides I initially thought that was how you switch the modes, by pressing it. That was not the case. For my needs the Hammer drill worked well. I used it with landscape timber, 2x and I had no problems at all. You can adjust the torque settings and when it reaches its maximum torque you can hear it powering down and it stop altogether. You have to release the trigger and press it again if you want to continue. This is good to ensure you do not over tighten a screw

Gr8 tool, did not feel weak at all

Quick review : Views from an active DIYer I love the hammer drill everything that I was able to do with my 18v tools. I got accomplished with the 12v little brother. Charge time right out of the box with the included charger was pretty long, 1/2hr for the 2.0ah and 1hr for the 4.0ah. Having lightweight tools reduces the load and strain and is sure to add longevity to your work life. More In depth review: I used this for a few projects I had , I used it with a pocket hole jig, T-Star bits and regular bits. The drill worked fine. Every thing that I was able to do with 18v tools was able to do with these also. I got this because of the expansive M12 line and there are a lot of tools I am interested in. The batteries do not have a fuel gauge but the drill and impact driver did. Once you press the trigger the fuel gauge will stay on for 2 seconds. The LED light stays on for 10 seconds after the trigger is depressed. I found the light to be bright enough to light my work area. This comes with the belt clip attached on the left side but you can remove it and place it on the right side if you are a lefty. To switch the Drill/Drive mode you have to rotate the collar past 16, there are rubber molding by the hammer icon on the sides I initially thought that was how you switch the modes, by pressing it. That was not the case. For my needs the Hammer drill worked well. I used it with landscape timber, 2x and I had no problems at all.

great tool, but it's got some draw backs
Rating: 4
I'm in general aviation so I prefer a high rpm, good trigger modulation and light weight/compact. I love this drill, however if you plan to use this drill for a lot of low torque fasteners as I do then you'll find the electronic clutch inferior to a mechanical one and the slow start at lower clutch settings extremely annoying. Also the chuck will spin the whole drive train before you can get a proper clamping force on the bit. Again I'm I general aviation so 90% of the work I ask this drill is a 1/8th inch drill bit in 2117-T4 aluminum. For my work it's great when you have a lot of rivets to drill as I frequently do. But any work that you rely on the clutch, get the older model with a mechanical clutch. I use a bosh ps22 for inspection panel fasteners and the Milwaukee for drilling rivets on all the sheet metal repairs that as an employee of a flight, school is often.

This is a good drill.
Rating: 4
So I work in construction. I have 2 battery hammer drills. This and an old 18v xrp. Now obviously the xrp is more powerful, but this 12v is lightweight, compact, easy to use, and is faster at small 5/36 drilling. I like this drill. The belt clip works better than the old design, and is now my go to drill. But I do have a complaint. The exhaust ports are in the worst spot. With long term drilling there isn't a place to hold it with my other hand without getting burned.

Hmmmm ?

No doubt a great drill but in hard working apps such as brand new sharp drill bits drill in steel and get caught up it stops making it very hard and longer to push the bit through. Good luck
