20V MAX XR Cordless Hammer Drill, Brushless, 3-Speed, Bare Tool Only (DCD996B)

I have an entry level 18 volt DeWalt drill that I have abused for years. I finally broke it mixing thin set when I was putting some tile in my daughter's bathroom. It still works, but overheated and the variable speed control failed. Now it only goes full speed. All that said, I wanted a bit better drill and thought the hammer feature might come in handy at times. I have a garage full of 20 volt DeWalt tools, so any other brand was not an option. I spotted this drill on Amazon and it seemed to tick all the right boxes. It was a bit pricey, but the reviews online said it was "contractor grade". I will reiterate that. It is very well made, very powerful, very versatile and a 5 AH battery lasts all day. The only cons are; it is quite heavy and cost quite a bit. That said, I don't think I will ever have to buy another drill. Highly recommended.

A melhor furadeira ... aposentei a minha de energia .. muito forte

superb

Me encantó, es una de las mejores herramientas que he tenido y me ha funcionado para mi trabajo

My 18V Dewalt drill kicked the bucket after about five years, so it was time for a new one. I decided to go with what seems to be Dewalt's top of the line 20V drill, I even decided to get the one which has the hammer option. There seems to be a ton of different options, although I think I picked the newest model. I always see the XR type drills at work (industrial construction), so I went for it. I am so very happy with this drill, it is probably the best drill I have ever used. It is a little bigger than my previous drill and the basic 20V drill I have, but that is expected being an XR drill with hammer option. It is definitely more heavy duty than other drills (including Dewalt) I have used. The chuck is better, it is all metal instead of some plastic/rubber on previous models I have used. Most likely because of the hammer function. The drill fits perfectly in my hand and is very well balanced, quite easy to use and maneuver around. I put the little belt clip on also, very handy for going up and down ladders. This is the first drill I've actually had this on, now I'm pretty sure I won't be able to live without it. I have only used a 2AH battery and get plenty of use from it, although I have not used the hammer function. I actually have a Dewalt corded hammer drill, it will be interesting to compare the two if I ever can. My use has been small and large screws, drilling in wood and metal up to a 4" hole saw through wood. Everything worked great and I varied the use between the three gears, so each has its own benefits. I read the other reviews about the drill failing and poor quality compared to previous units, hopefully the couple at the top of the review log are not common occurrences. Time will tell, but right now I am very happy with the drill.
