[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Using this product in combination with the XR series of batteries really allows you to get the most out of both products. The brushless motor on this drill allows you to get a more powerful tool that also feels smoother to use. This drill is a great purchase to use for a variety of jobs.

Great power and handling
on September 9, 2024
Posted by: Landon53
from The Plains, VA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent hammer drilling power, easily drilled several inches into concrete slab in home basement. Even with the high torque output the recoil was almost non-existent, making it easy to use and control. The ability to reposition the 360 side handle made it very easy to get the drill into tight corners and maintain control and pressure while drilling. Consistent power at low and high speed, but did not even have to use the higher speeds to get through the concrete.

Cut the Cord, Not the Power: Dewalt 20V Max XR Saw
on September 8, 2024
Posted by: Justin C
from Marietta, Ga
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dewalt 20V Max XR Brushless Cordless Circular Saw is a high-performance tool that delivers the power of a corded saw in a portable, cordless format. With its brushless motor and advanced design, it’s engineered for durability, precision, and convenience.
One of the best features of this saw is its brushless motor, which not only extends the life of the tool but also improves battery efficiency. This means longer run times, fewer battery swaps, and less downtime on the job. The saw pairs exceptionally well with Dewalt’s 8 Ah or 5 Ah batteries, allowing for hours of cutting through even thick materials like plywood, OSB, and framing lumber.
In terms of performance, the saw doesn’t disappoint. It delivers a smooth, powerful cut with minimal bogging, even under load. The 7-1/4 inch blade size offers versatility for a variety of cuts, and the bevel capacity up to 57 degrees allows for angled cuts with ease. Additionally, the integrated LED light is a nice touch, providing better visibility in low-light environments.
The ergonomics of the tool are excellent. It feels well-balanced in hand, and the lightweight design makes it easy to handle for extended periods without fatigue. The handle’s placement provides good control, and the saw’s overall design promotes accuracy during cuts.
However, like most cordless saws, you’ll need to factor in the weight of the battery, which can add a bit of heft, especially with the larger 8 Ah options. That said, this is a minor trade-off for the freedom and power it offers.
Overall, the Dewalt 20V Max XR Brushless Cordless Circular Saw is a fantastic tool for anyone looking for the performance of a corded saw with the freedom of a cordless one. It’s perfect for contractors, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts who value portability, power, and precision.

Awesome but heavy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would give it 5 star but the drill is heavy compared to older models. More compact than the older ones. The anti rotation is great for stopping the drill as soon as it kicks.the drill is definitely a power house.

Best Hammer drill yet
on September 3, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hi power flexibility with the DeWalt 12 volt XR! I'm really enjoying using this brushless hammer drill as there's no kickback and I do not have to worry about my hands getting hurt. The drill feels good in my hand and is easy to operate. I liked it it has three different speeds on the top in 15 different gears to be able to get the job done. The battery life on this is really well also as it lasts me a good while I'll also like that it has a light to see what I'm doing in dark spaces. I highly recommend this hammer drill!

Better than previous XR model
on August 31, 2024
Posted by: Brandon
from Knoxville, TN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This replaced my older XR model. I was able to use them both same day with the same bit. This thing is a tank. It was drilling holes faster in the same blocks as my older model. It is slightly shorter than the older model, but the clutch feels more robust and clicks are more defined when swapping to and from hammer drill. I also like the redesigned handle. It has teeth to prevent it from slipping on the tougher jobs. The adjustable light is more helpful than I thought it would be. On top of a ladder in a drop ceiling being able to set the drill down and light up boxes to make joints with wire is convenient and requires one less tool. Overall a solid improvement over my older model.

Powerful, Compact, and Packed with Features
on August 31, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 20v Dewalt XR hammer drill is a powerhouse that doesn’t disappoint. It delivers impressive performance, rivaling the Flex Advantage hammer drill in both power and efficiency. One of the features I love most is the directional light—it's incredibly bright, making it easy to work in dark or confined spaces. The fact that you can leave it on for 20 minutes is a huge plus, providing continuous visibility without interruption.
Another standout feature is its compact design. The shorter body allows it to fit into tight places that other drills struggle with, making it incredibly versatile. On the safety front, the anti-rotation feature is a thoughtful addition, providing extra security during use. Overall, the Dewalt XR combines power, convenience, and safety in a way that’s hard to beat.
