Just go my new DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill model # DCD1007B. What a heavy duty beast. Top of the line and a great addition to my Dewalt collection.
Love this drill I won’t it on a give away so I have 3 different hammer drills but the compactness of this one is my favorite. It has the power I need with the size I prefer
i use this drill every day in an industrial maintenance role. great power and light weight. drill wood, steel, rubber, every time. i work in a sand plant and goes through very dirty and dusty environments and doesn't skip a beat
[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.
[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.

[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.
[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.
[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!
