DEWALT 20V MAX* Hammer Drill, 1/2-Inch, Tool Only (DCD985B), Yellow

Picked up this drill to replace my Bosch 18v. It's like night and day! It's much lighter, although still has the well-built heft. A nice balance in the hand making it comfortable. The hammer drill feature is by far my favorite as it drives even 4" screws through 4x4 wood posts with ease. The low profile battery is so much better than the archaic 18v post batteries! It takes very little time to charge. Since the batteries are expensive I only bought one but the remaining battery feature allows me to know when it's getting time to recharge and even if I'm in the middle of the project there's always times I'm not using the drill. So, I pop it in the charger and it's ready in no time! A great purchase!

I bought this as a gift as I already own 2 and was tired of lending mine out, these things are a beast and can do pretty much what any corded drill can do and then some. I did allot of the construction on my house with the 18v version 10 years ago and when it finally died a couple years back I bought the 20v version and I have not been disappointed with them yet. Its not a big deal to change bits but having two certainly makes it quicker to get jobs done since I don't have to change the bits all the time. Do I and would I recommend this drill to people? Yes! Great Power and torque which are all adjustable.

Love this thing. I used to drill through masonry with my normal Dewalt but it took forever to get through and probably took some years off of my drill’s life. This thing just smashes right through. I was able to put deep half inch holes in a concrete slab probably less than 30 seconds a hole. Nice!

I work as an elevator constructor and this drill really holds up for the heavier duty jobs. I do a lot of drilling through steal beams and hammer drilling through concrete on a daily basis and I had one that lasted almost 4 years. I find the fact that since it’s not brushless you can push it a little harder as opposed to the newer brushless models other guys I know on the job have problems with, whether it’s dewalt or Milwaukee. It seems that on the brushless models there’s a built in senser that when it gets too hot or getting pushed too much it kills the power making you wait while it cools down. The complaint with the older models is that the brushes will wear out, but for a $120 bux it’s well worth it to beat the hell out of this thing for a couple years and then get a new one. If you’re just a handyman/ around the house type you’ll have this tool for a lifetime. In the end it’s money well spent and a nice heavy duty drill.

This hammer drill is the PERFECT tool for any drilling occasions. Drilling through concrete, brick, or wood, it's like using a knife on butter. It makes the job a brief and less restrain on your back.

I do a lot of hammer drilling at work using HILTI TE30 battery powered hammer drills, which are the Porsche of hammer drills. When I first used this Dewalt hammer drill and was comparing it to a TE30, I thought "this is weak AF." However, it does just fine on the block & plaster walls in my house for run of the mill handyman scale tasks like installing tap cons to strap conduit to a block wall. Would I use it at work for production drilling? Hell no. However, it didn't cost a ton, and it's much better than using my Dewalt impact and/or standard drill.

I have one of those wives that gives me the eye every time an Amazon box arrives on the front doorstep. I am a DeWalt tool guy but I put off ordering this battery hammer drill for years. Wish I had a dime for all the times I stood waiting for the drill bit in my regular drill to penetrate the concrete far enough that I could seat the concrete anchor and another dime for the times climbing down the ladder to plug my cord powered electric hammer drill back in. Just used this product for first time on concrete block with the Libatter 1 pack 20v 5.0ah replacement battery I purchased at about the same time. It's a beautiful thing.

Very well priced for a hammer drill,, runs really well on a fully charged battery,,,CANT BEAT THIS DRILL FOR THE PRICE
