This drill is everything I expected it to be. Of course it is a Dewalt

Quality made drill. Perfect for what I needed it to do. Looks to be durable and hopefully will serve its purpose for many years to come.

I like & own several dewalt tools however this product was replaced with a makita due to the innacuracy of drilling. The chuck rotates as expected however oscillates up/down/left/right in some orbital fashion which turns a 1/4 hole into 5/16 or nearly 3/8. Of you are using this to mix thin set/cement etc it will be perfect however any accuracy needed go with Makita or Milwaukee tools.

Bought for my son in law. Loves it.

I am very happy with the drill. It has all the torque I need to accomplish what I need it to do. It’s not the price I expected to pay but battery drills don’t have the torque I needed. Very satisfied.

I have had this drill for a few years and I like it so much that I bought one for my son for Christmas. It is heavy duty and can easily drill a hole in a 4"X4" post.

Powerful and smooth running drill!

Drilling into concrete is a piece of cake! I'm very pleased with this drill, it's light weight but packs a punch

good value good product line

Just received my new drill. It was to be made in the USA but this one was made in Mexico. It works fine but I haven't used it hard yet. My biggest disappointment so far is that the chuck key, which is made in China, doesn't fit the drill . So I'll save the box and receipt, and after I use it on my project, I'll return it.

Great drill for when i need a bit more juice than I expect from my cordless drill. Excellent addition to the shop.

The drill is powerful and heavy. This unit drills holes through studs for electrical wiring with ease. Go easy with it at first to keep from spraining your wrists. Solid heavy duty drill for my needs.

Drill was ordered for home delivery. The drill was not put into a suitable shipping box. Rather a shipping label was just slapped in the display box and sent out. The display box is not sturdy and arrived crushed and beat up. Surprisingly none of the small parts were missing from the box dispite one end of the display box being open. The drill itself was scuffed up but seems to operate OK. The photos on the HD website show Made in USA. The drill I received was made in Mexico.

I purchased this drill to mix stucco. I first tried a hammer drill of a different brand. That drill literally went up in flames. This Dewalt drill is amazingly powerful and mixed a bag of stucco with no problem. It has basic features but it is made with outstanding quality and it is really powerful. Highly recommend this drill for heavy duty drilling or mixing.
