Excellent cordless hammer drill
Great for medium duty masonry jobs. If you want it for regular drilling, it is very powerful. Does not run consistently with the 2 Amp batteries for hammer work. 5 amp batteries or bigger are best. I had a similar size Makita corded hammer drill I used since the 1990’s. The Dewalt produces similar performance. Very happy with it.Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival CollectionDaniel D.

High quality!
I have owned this for quite a few years now and it’s a beast! Get the bigger batteries and you are set for a long long time.

Favorite Drill to Date
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.

DCD996 Hammer Drill
**Update: Monster, Powerful and Right Now Torque. If you have ever gotten into serious drilling than you have to experience it with this drill. The instantaneous torque of the drill helps get work done faster. I have never had to back out of wood, concrete or steel. You must: I Mean must use good bits or this drill will snap them or turn them into a smooth reed. Also as you use it continually the drill does not heat up like other drills I have used in the past…. I’m looking at you Milwaukee.I have used this drill and would still give it my rating to pros and handymen alike. The others post high numbers but this drill beats them all. Add the new dcb606 and 609 battery series and you will have all the power you will need in your hand. USA Built.Bought this drill for weekly work as an installer. I also have a DCD791 for drilling and fastening. This drill is the most powerful non-corded drill I have ever used. It is similar to the Milwaukee M18 2nd gen but in my opinion the torque from this drill is more immediate and when you get into deep holes in masonry this powers through it faster. I am so impressed with this new hammer drill from Dewalt. As someone that relies on speed to get things done this drill has been amazing. I just finished hammer drilling approximately 75+ holes in concrete and cinderblock with a 5ah battery no problem. Still had 2 of 3 bars showing at the end of my day.A warning: This drill has enough torque that if you are not completely focused on the task you are doing it will wrench itself out of your hand. Also in hammer mode this thing is extremely loud in closed bathrooms and electrical rooms where echoing occurs. I would recommend ear muffs for anyone doing drilling for more than a few holes.Another thing to note is how little heat is generated when continually using the drill. I believe this will play well with the longevity of this power tool.Last thing, the ergonomics of the drill in your hand is spot on. It is well balanced and very comfortable to work with all day. Vibrations are minimal for a drill with this much power. I believe this tool is A+ for professionals.Pro’sAbsolute Power House, Torque in all 3 Speeds, Hammer Drill Mode is excellent, Great Metal Chuck, LED light is best in classCon’sForward and Reverse button needs refinement, 3 Speed Selector sometimes sticks

Cannot source a 20V battery in Australia. It seems daft that Amazon AU sell a machine without battery and charger, when the batteries cannot be sourced in Australia.I am told by external sources, that the 18V max xr battery works. Have yet to try it.
