Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT XR 1/2-in 20-volt max Variable Speed Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill 2 -Batteries and Charger Included

Well Pleased

I purchased this kit last April, and so far, I’m very happy with it. The auxiliary handle is fully adjustable, which is fantastic. The electronic clutch functions well, but don’t recommend it for precise, low torque applications, which are best completed with smaller drills. Tool is well balanced and fells sturdy enough. The 3 speed transmission allows for greater versatility in completing different tasks. Examples include: Drilling masonry and wood on 3rd, fastening screws on 2nd, and drilli...

Love this hammer drill!

Bought it 2025. Super reliable. Been using Dewalt Hammer drills for years. Tough, takes abuse, they go through wood, concrete and stucco easily

Nice drill

I found this drill to be powerful with aa long run time, yet it is well balanced so it can be used on more delicate projects. The 3 speed gearbox gives it a versatile range of speeds.

Ridiculous drill - does what it should.

This is a powerful, durable, drill. I have done things with this drill that it hated, but it did them anyway - like running 6" hole saws, drilling holes for concrete anchors in 50-yr-old concrete, driving 8" structural screws, and more, for years. It just doesn't stop. It IS showing a bit of age (gearbox is a little loose, chuck doesn't work quite right sometimes), but after what I've done to this drill I'm just pleased it's still running. Great job Dewalt - you built a survivor.

Hammer Drill

My 23 year old Dewalt hammer drill finally crapped out. I've used Makita, Bosch, and Milwaukee tools for my home DIY projects but nothing last as long as this Dewalt. I will buy only Dewalt from now on. I bought a new one and it has more power and the charges last much longer. GREAT PRODUCT

Awesome drill for holes in cement and ice fishing

This is the most awesome drill I have ever owned. I use it for drilling holes in cement. I use it on a 6" or 8" Mora hand auger for ice fishing. It cuts through ice like a breeze. Use a handle on the drill and hold on tight because this drill has a ton of torque. Like others have said you can drill a lot of ice holes on one battery. Good purchase.

Great powerful drill

I bought this to anchor my mini split. The hammer drill function worked perfectly and drilled out the holes I needed in the pad for my anchors. Since then, I’ve used it to bore holes for running electrical work building some cabinets, building and mounting doors for my workshop. I have an older dewalt drill, it works fine, but this hammer drill really packs a punch, without torquing your wrist in two different directions.

Lots of Power!

Love the power, very powerful! Use with garden auger and ground engaging attachments. Works like a charm. Makes my gardening chores so much easier!

Exceeded My Wildest Expectations

I bought this drill to work with my garden planting auger. Just tried it out for the first time. OMG! It tore through the dirt like melted butter. I do live in middle GA , so we do have a bit of clay in our soil and the place where I tried my auger and new drill was previously unworked. Which means it was well packed. I was more that impressed how quickly and easily it drilled a perfect planting hole. This is going to make planting my garden this year so quick and easy. I can't wait till la...

Bought this for a Christmas present. No doubt it will be well received.

Nice drill great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a few years ago. Never lets me down. Handles anything I throw at it. Hammer drill function is great like not having to switch drills to go thru brick or block

Trigger issues

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased two of these in past 4 years, the latest has lasted just over the three year mark. First one didn’t last that long but it was my fault. Trigger mechanism seems to be the week point in most of the cordless tools. I was using the drill with a small wire brush to clean some parts working fine, I put it away next day it won’t work. Tried several different batteries same result. 1/2 “ drive impact did the same thing even sent it in ...

Dependable service

Quality built to last

Love it

I own two of these and they were worth every penny. Have had one for five years and still going strong. When they go out I will be buying two more
