DEWALT 20V MAX XR 1/2 Inch Cordless Hammer Drill Kit with 8AH Battery and Charger (DCD1007WW1)

This is a great combo and even better if you get it for under $300. The 8ah powerpack battery gives the drill plenty of power and the fast charger does indeed charge fast-with 1 bar it charged the 8ah in about an hour. Using 4", 6", and 8" hole saws, its went right through wood. With masonry bits has went through stone with no problem. Performs well with 5ah battery also. LED light can be put on 20 min timer and be used as a work light in dark attics or crawl spaces( does a pretty good job!). Anti rotation shuts it down if it tries to spin or jerk from your hand-great feature and works well. Comes with a handle to get a better grip. It has some weight to it especially when using a bigger amp battery-it is capable of some heavy work so it makes sense. Great drill and great price for under $300.

This is a really good drill. I'm mainly using it for automotive work (complete restoration, replacing parts and body work) as well as other odd jobs. I don't plan to do any masonry work that would involve a compact drill, so I opted to not get the hammerdrill version. This one is shorter and therefore better for my kind of work. I'd previously been using a very cheap Ryobi 18V that was at least 5 years old when it caught fire. Not a knock on Ryobi, but it was time for a new drill and battery kit. Although it probably isn't most logical reason, I went with Dewalt because of their "Made In USA*" campaign. Glad I went with it though. It has enough power and battery life that I haven't reached for my corded drill once so far. Dewalt's "20V" system has been out a while now, so there are a lot of tools available for a reasonable price. The only overpriced part are the batteries, but hopefully they will come down in price soon. The different led settings on this drill are very useful for me. If I'm crawling under something or heading out at night, I can set it to the 20min on mode which is about as bright as a decent flashlight. The only issue with this drill I can find, is that it has minor build quality issues. Nearly every power tool you can buy at a homeowner's store has the same problem, so I didn't take off a star, but compared to my 70's corded drill, this thing looks like a children's toy. I don't think it's much of an issue since I have other, similarly built Dewalt tools that I have abused and dropped countless times and they still look almost new. I just wish Dewalt stepped there game up for their new "Premium" tools. Stand outs are that the battery doesn't fit as snugly as I'd like and that the speed selector was initially hard to move. The actually components (which is what matters) are very high quality and I doubt I'll have any problems. The actual drill itself is only $120, so you're getting a lot for your money. I'll likely try pick up their 3/8 inch impact next.

Love this hammer drill. I've used DeWalt exclusively on the jobsite for 20+ years. This thing is powerful, and the refreshed design looks awesome. The 8ah batteries are phenomenal and it comes with the fast charger which is 100$ by itself. I've beat my DeWalt tools to death for years, respectfully of course, but they are used professionally and that's the quality DeWalt brings.

This DeWalt DCD991P2 20V Max XR drill kit is to retire my 30-year-old Milwaukee 0224-2 3/8" Magnum corded drill. The tool weighs 4lbs, 8oz, w/ the battery pack and the included belt clip. The top/bottom balance is nice and appropriate. The tool is "made in the USA with global materials". The two DCB205 20V 5.0Ah100Wh battery packs are made in Korea. The DCB115 charger base is made in China. After many months working w/ my daughter and her cordless tools, that reaffirmed my conviction that I am a troglodyte in my views on corded versus battery powered tools, leading me to investigate then select this cordless drill. My plan is to use this as my primary tool and the Milwaukee as a back-up. The DeWalt DCD991P2 has plenty of power, with plenty of torque. The three-speed transmission permits selection of the correct / maximum torque for the application. This is a great feature, enabling versatility for one drill to serve three applications, low/medium/high speed or torque. The automatic 3-function LED illumination is handy and intuitive. The low and medium intensity modes turn off automatically after 20 seconds. The high / spotlight mode runs for 20 minutes. My preference has always been for a keyed chuck, but those are also gone the way of the dinosaur. I hate when a chuck / drill bit slips and there is no way to get it any tighter. So far I like this keyless chuck. The audible / felt clicks when hand tightening appear sufficient. IMO, the instructions go waaay overboard "disconnect tool from power source when changing accessories". I put the Forward / Reverse switch in the center off position, instead of removing / replacing the battery pack whenever I need to swap a bit. The wobbly / sloppy fit between the battery pack and tool is not great, but I knew about that deficiency before purchase. IMO, DeWalt should improve this part of their design. The hard case is a useful feature of the kit. I prefer the protection it affords and everything having a place. The cover rib contacts the tool when closing, requiring either extra force to fully close, or pulling the top handle away from the hinge so the top cover internal rib clears the tool, so it may close. (Not a major issue, but should / could be improved). The other hard case improvement I would love is for additional room within the case for accessories. I would love to also store my drill bit index, plus other drill accessories within the case. This hard case doesn't have room for other stuff. All I could fit within the case is a small 13-bit drill index case, near the charger base. It would be great if some of those cool DeWalt bit cases had a dedicated location in the drill case. The battery must be snapped into the charger, not just slid until the light changes, or it won't charge the battery pack.

A few years ago I got fed up with buying corded & cordless tools of dubious quality, various brands & non-interchangable batteries (Ryobi, Ridgid, Harbor Freight, etc.). So, I researched specifically to find a single, high-quality brand to buy exclusively and settled on DeWalt. Now, nearly 10 years later, I have almost the whole lineup of their DIY tools, both cordless and stationary electric. This DCD1007 XR is one of my very favorites. It's a beautiful beast, being the most powerful cordless drill DeWALT makes. Indicative of its power, it comes with their new 8 amp hour PowerPack extended-power battery. It also comes with a well-made, removable handle for applying more pressure. Fantastic drill. I love to see the reaction when I hand it to someone I'm doing DIY fixes with.

Used this drill as a power jack for my 40', 10ton goose neck tralier. It had enough power to jack up the tralier which saved me alot of arm winding up. What a deal, should have bought one much sooner. GREAT JOB.

Works great, but the tool bag is a disappointment. The tool bag is just a big bag with the parts loose inside. There are no dividers or padding so the drill, the detachable extension arm, the charger and the battery are loose to bang around together.

Best drill I have ever owned. I needed something for everyday including strength when it came to my concrete jobs. if you are on the fence of deciding, go ahead and get off the fence and buy a day, you won’t regret it!
