What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this hammer drill for its exceptional power, lightweight design, and reliability. Reviewers consistently highlight its ability to effortlessly drill through concrete, brick, and stucco, and drive large screws through wood and metal. Many appreciate the compact, ergonomic build that reduces fatigue during extended use and works well overhead. The brushless motor impresses users with consistent performance under heavy load, and the two included batteries with fast charging are widely commended. A few note the LED light positioning makes visibility difficult, and some mention minor heat after prolonged use, but overall customers strongly recommend it for demanding DIY and professional tasks.

Replacing an old hammer drill and wanted one of high quality. From information from others users and talking to your employee in the tool section who recommended it, I bought the Dewalt hammer drill. I have used the drill several times and believe it is of high quality and a good buy

Powerful little drill

Would Recommend

This thing has some impressive torque without the weight of the bigger 20 volt hammer drill. If drilling heavier metal, and the drill bit bites, you better be paying attention, because it is tough stop the drill from spinning around.

great hammer drill

Would Recommend

I bought this specifically to drill 1/2" holes in concrete. This hammer drill performed flawlessly. I wish the drill bits lasted as long. I used it with a 5Ah battery and almost drilled 4 holes around 3" deep, the battery had 1 bar left. It took about 5-10 minutes for each hole because the first drill bit I used wasn't so good. The drill warmed up after the 3rd hole and needed some time to cool, as the performance seems to reduce as it gets hot. It's never too hot to the touch. I'm surprised thi...

Dewalt is the best

Would Recommend

This DEWALT is compact but packs the power to get the job done. I use it with a 3" auger to plant tulips. It worked like a champ.

Must-have cordless drill

Would Recommend

I have the entire set of 18volt Dewalt cordless tools and now it's time to move onto the 20 volt models. So far I have been pleased at the power and light weight of this new hammer drill model. As as usual, look for the online deals with free shipping to your door!

Dewalt hammer drill

Would Recommend

I purchased the Dewalt hammer drill for projects around the house. Excellent tool for those house hold projects I used it for repair the siding on my work shed. The drill is brushless, strong and versatile. The drill came with two batteries, charger and carrying case. Replaced my craftsman drill where batteries died.

What I had hoped for.

Would Recommend

I had tried several other hammer drills no success. So far I have only used this one in testing how it drills various sized holes and in various materials and it seems pretty good, no issues. I do not like the light location as it shines behind the chuck and you can't see what you're drilling anyway.

More of a Toy Than a Tool

Would Not Recommend

Pros: - Lightweight and small - Comes with a Charger - Comes with 2 Batteries (see cons) Cons: - The Performance is not there. All of our other Dewalt drills are better, in addition to our Rigid brand drill is much more powerful than this item. - Feels more like a toy, than an item you would want to take to a job site. - The Batteries are the cheapest that they could come up with. They look more like Chinese knockoffs than a Dewalt product. Additionally, the batteries do not perform as well as ...

Great Drill - wish light was better positioned

Would Recommend

Recently purchased this drill to replace a full set of a competitor tools I have had for years but have had battery issues making them essentially useless. Pleased with my first few jobs except for the fact that the illumination from the worklight does not light up the end of the drill or the driver. Rather, the light/shadow line is just about at the place where the screw or drill bit would be placed. I can see from the design, that it is pretty high up on the case above the trigger and am no...

What good is power with a useless chuck?

Would Not Recommend

I've owned a Milwaukee 12v drill & hackzall for years. I've used and abused them, and have nothing but good things to say of them. Five-plus stars each. Recently, I needed to do some drilling through concrete/masonry, and figured it was time for a 20v system. DeWalt had good reviews and the price was right, so I picked one up. Mistake. The chuck is absolute garbage. It's hard to tighten, and larger bits work loose. Avoid.
