I purchased this drill for ONE building (shown in the attached pic). This is a hundred year old courthouse built from solid granite. It's a behemoth building that has been the bane of my existence for six years. Everyone that drills this building (electricians, LV guys like me, contractors) just gets frustrated watching it eat bit after bit or burn up drill after drill.It took me a LOT of research to figure out what I needed. These walls are thirty inches of pure granite. Not "stone" or "rock" or "Concrete".... this is a monster to have to drill! All my research finally told me that I was NEVER going to find a SDS or SDS plus that made bits long enough for what I need in this building. To get the length I needed (30-38 inches) I'm going to HAVE TO BE in the SDS Max category of bits - and that necessitated this drill.I researched Drills from all the major brands but since I'm spending the money I REALLY wanted to go cordless if it was at all possible. Of all the buildings I'd never want to try a cordless drill on, this would be at the TOP of the list. In fact if DeWalt had a picture of what NOT to do - this building should probably be on that page of their manual.But... you never know until you try.I remember spending 1.5 hours trying to drill 1/2" holes in the interior walls of this nightmare with my Makita corded hammer. Yeah, 1.5 HOURS! I'm tired. The drill got too hot and I had to let it cool. Issue after issue after issue. I've literally had electricians that do this for a living tell me "heck no" when I mentioned hiring them to drill this building for me. They all know it. They all hate it. No one wants to drill this place.So we show up today with our new shiny DeWalt cordless rotary hammer and I'm more than a little concerned that I just wasted my money and I'm going to find out this job is too much for this drill.EIGHT MINUTES!That's what it took. It eats through this kind of work like me going through a honey bun on lunch break!Eight minutes per hole in 30 inches of pure granite with a 1/2 bit!What's even more impressive is that the battery did 8 holes before needing to swap batteries. That's a solid HOUR of hard core drilling on one battery. (It comes with two).Worth the money?Dude, I'd have paid TWICE for this kind of performance!Now I literally cant' wait for another challenge. I love my old Makita but me and Brutus (yeah, it's awesome enough that it deserves to be named) here are going to have some fun on upcoming jobs. If it'll drill this building, I've got NO fear of putting it to work anywhere else I need to!

The first one sent to me was defective and didn't work at all. The LED light would flash when the trigger was pulled but that's about it. I noticed that it had been used before and probably returned by someone else.I requested a replacement sent, which was pretty painless except new hammer drill was never sent. I finally reached out to Amazon customer service and received the most amazing response back from customer service. Everything was taken care of from there .The new hammer drill is a great tool. 3 different setting and no cords. This has more than enough power to do the jobs I throw at it. Drilling through and busting block. Plus the 60v battery lasts has never failed me. I should've scored on of these a long time ago!

I have used this a few times now and I really like it.It comes with two 9.0 Ah Flexvolt batteries which if bought separately would cost almost half of the price I paid for this set. The 9.0 Ah batteries are good for this rotary hammer because it draws quite a bit of power.Safety: The active vibration control works really good and it protects both handles. Even when doing heavy duty chipping for an almost an hour my hands hardly even notice the vibration. Although I have not had a bind up situation yet I feel much better with the safety of Dewalt's E-clutch system which they say minimizes sudden torque reaction compared to standard clutchesThe case is durable and has space for lots of goodies such as drill bits, chisels, a clay spade, and more.I also bought an SDS Max - SDS Plus adapter so I can use SDS Plus attachments. I also bought an SDS Plus to 1/2" chuck adapter so I can use this when I need a drill with really high torque or if I ever need to use non SDS drill bits.The only con's I can think of are:- It doesn't have a variable speed trigger.- It is pretty heavy for overhead drilling or chipping. If I was going to be doing overhead drilling or chipping on a regular basis I might even consider buying a smaller rotary hammer as well.For me these issues are not a big deal and overall I am really happy with this purchase.When I was considering this purchase I found the information and reviews on this to be in short supply so I checked for reviews & questions and answers on Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, Dewalt.com, and Youtube.com but there was still less information available than on many other DeWalt tools. If you have any specific questions then ask them on Amazon.ca and I will do my best to answer them.

The unit is GREAT! I use it to drill 1" x 8" into fully cured concrete foundations. This unit works as good as, if not better than my Makita AVT corded drill. The Dewalt has a lot less vibration than the Makita also. It bores smooth and quick, rebar is no problem either. With roughly 100 holes drill I have had no binds or anything. Each charge on the 9.0 AH battery gets me 19 to 21 holes and I drill 24 to 40 a day so the 2 batteries will carry me through a work day. This drill is every bit as powerful as a corded drill in my opinion.**UPDATE**After about 2 months this drill is as impressive as first thought. The battery life has leveled off to about 17 1"x 8" holes drilled per charge. Still nice considering i'm not fighting the cord. I have encountered a couple of binds and the protection operates as it should.
