  • Pretty awesome compared to my old Makita 18v hammer drill
Style: Hammer Drill Kit Only
My old Makita was similar; 3 speed, 18v lithium with hammer setting. But this Dewalt is much better! First off sheer drilling power is sooo much more powerful. I drilled a thick commercial wood door to install a deadbolt, and the Dewalt bored the big hole in about 30 seconds on fast setting 3. Was like "WOW!" Went from taking about 15-20 minutes to 30 seconds. The LED light is much much brighter too. Much more useful and there is a timer setting sort of. Another thing I really like is the case. It is more compact than the old Makita case. It will only fit 2 batteries which is sort of a bummer but it is heavy with just two 5 AH batteries. I dropped the whole thing on my toe when I wasn't wearing my work boots and it sucked! Ouch! The drill itself is fairly compact for the rating it has. It feels good in the hand and is somewhat balanced. The batteries take a long time to charge which is one of the down sides. My Makita batteries charge faster even my 5 AH one. Another sort of downside is the chuck is sort of finicky. I had a hard time with it releasing the bits. It seemed to have fixed itself but it was really stuck. This drill has a LOT of power so be careful! A person could easily sprain their wrist so be sure to use the extra handle if you think you might hit a knot in the wood or a nail or something. Also definitely wear gloves for vibration protection and for the chuck. I had to take off my wedding ring so it wouldn't destroy it trying to get the chuck to release. It tore up a rag I was using to protect my skin, and tore my non-latex gloves to shreds in an instant. Wear some pretty tough gloves too, not cheap ones. It will tear them apart fast. I've owned lots of dewalt, makita, crafstman and milwaukee drills over the years including a few corded ones and this Dewalt seems to be the most powerful I've owned. I have done handy work for almost 25 years now professionally and this drill is crazy on the torque and raw power. I won't be using it on easy jobs my smaller lighter drills can handle. I will only be using it on heavy duty jobs. Its frickin' dangerous! But all-in-all I really like it and it was an excellent purchase and paid for itself the first time I used it. 5 star for sure. Be sure to read all the reviews as there are a lot of good insights here that were helpful to me. ... show more

  • When you ain't asking no more
Style: Hammer Drill Kit Only
My husband and I were working on a project and his old drill wasn't strong enough. So with some research, we found this one and let's just say it's definitely the right tool for the job. There is no job too big for this drill to handle.

  • Works Amazingly For My Garden Needs
Style: Hammer Drill Kit Only
The Dewalt brand is a staple in any toolbox! I bought this to use in my garden with my auger attachments. I wanted to try the smaller to see if I needed/could handle the larger one. The smaller one definitely does the job in my garden. The torque is high. I almost twisted my wrist a few times before I got the hang of it and started easing into the speed. lol This drill may be 20V but it has some major power and the handle is a plus. ... show more

  • DEWALT 20V MAX XR Hammer Drill Kit, Brushless, 3-Speed, Cordless (DCD996P2)
Style: Hammer Drill Kit Only
My old 18V Dewalt Drill died after 8 years of well tested service. I've been mixing small batches of concrete in a 2 gallon bucket with this drill so far and it's doing great !

  • Great drill

  • Extremely capable and powerful drill with very precise and useful electronic clutch.
Style: Hammer Drill Kit Only
This is a revised review of this drill kit. The first one I got had what was apparently a faulty charger which got very hot smelled like burning insulation and did not properly charge the batteries. It was very dangerous and could have started a fire with the battery in it which was seriously not good and very dangerous. A burning 20 volt 5 amp hour lithium battery is a seriously unpleasant prospect. However I elected to exchange it with Amazon for another new one which they sent overnight and it works fine. The charger just gets warm, not hot and charges the batteries quite quickly. I love the brushless drill itself and the power of it's 20 volt 5 amp hour batteries. The batteries last longer than I do and driving over a hundred 2 1/2" Simpson clip screws left the battery still showing a full charge. It would have fully discharged my smaller Bosch which would have struggled with this sized screw. The Dewalt did them very quickly easily and efficiently ion the middle of its two speeds much faster and easier than my little Bosch. It probably weighs twice as much as my Bosch, but that is a good thing, the extra mass , especially of the battery does a great job of countering it's considerable torque making it much easier on my wrist and actually allowing me to operate it comfortably and effectively without the add on handle. On the Bosch my wrist would be very sore by now. So, one star off for the first bad and dangerous charger, but if you make sure your charger isn't over heating, you should be fine, if it is, send it back to Amazon, they probably sent you my old one. One of the other reviewers gave it one star because the battery was loose in the drill, mine is a little loose (wobbly) too, but fully secured and it works fine, so what. The electronic clutch is really nice, you can precisely set it to seat a heavy screw without stripping it. I have now also purchased the compact saber saw and circular saw for this wonderful 20 volt 5 amp system and the saws are extremely powerful and fast. Second charger and third battery came with circular saw kit I have, so now back up charger and 3 batteries. I will be getting more tools in this series as well. ... show more
