More torque plus safety features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beast of a drill, it is an excellent addition to my line of dewalt drills. The extra torque compliments the extra bulk. I really appreciate the wrist protection and safety features and the swivel light is one of those features that has you thinking " why didn't they put this on the DCD996 "

Impressive increase in performance!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is built like a DeWalt tool we all expect - tough, reliable, high quality. I think I could drop this out of a truck and you would not even notice. The longer handle makes for greater control. My first job using it was actually to mix concrete and it did it with ease, I was very impressed! Because of the step up in the design of this is does weigh more than you might expect, it’s built tough!

Feels Industrial Grade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I laughed out loud when I first picked it up out of its packaging, it felt GOOD in my hand, like a real professional piece of hardware I could count on. You just know! Dense! I tried it out with the new flat pack style battery, and with a 1" drill bit into the end grain of a log of dry timber, I averaged about 1 cubic inch of material removed per second. It has a LOT of power. Also, fantastic for mixing liquids. I used it for mixing up a basification bath for the tannery and I didn't feel like it was going to break my wrist!

Torque monster with poise.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an incredibly powerful tool. I cannot believe what this will power through. 1" auger bit went through hard maple like it was cottonwood. The torque reaction arm provided can be a necessity depending on the drilling task at hand. Don't hesitate to use it. The trigger control is very linear and the three speed transmission really lets you tailor the rpm range to exactly what you need. It was easier to change the gear setting than I have found on other tools, as was the clutch setting. Amazing to see how sensitive the clutch was considering the immense torque this drill can put out. I really liked the aimable spotlight. It's very bright and convenient to use. This is a heavy tool with its 5.0 Ah battery, but I found it to be well balanced with a comfortable grip during use. I think Dewalt did a good job with the cushioning protection on the tool housing too as you can tell you're not hitting any of the plastic shell parts when you lay it down on the bench. Overall, an exceptional cordless power tool.

So much torque and power
on August 27, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I rarely call a tool HD but this is a sturdy drill. For a cordless drill, you wouldn’t know it. I was curious has to how much kickback it had. So I started drilling twenty 1 inch holes. Drill cut those holes quickly and easily. To be clear, this was my first Dewalt Drill and am beyond impressed. So the rest of the week, I tackled some Tapcoms, couple hundred self tapping screws, drilled another dozen holes in 1/8” sheet metal. Then put together a few RTA cabinets. The led light was more than bright enough to not use a tasklight one evening.

Heavy duty drill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this new hammer drill. If you put an 8ah battery on it, it weights the same as the old brushed motor version with a 6ah battery. Its nice they include a handle with it. The light is super bright too. It seems to drill the hole faster on the same speed setting as the old version too.

An all-in-one powerhouse

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Powerful and Robust are just a few words that describe this latest release from DeWalt, the model DCD1007, featuring a shorter head length than its predecessors, along with an anti-rotation system, which lights up red at the base and stops tool use if it senses excessive rotation, aka Anti-Kickback, like when a large drill bit jams inside a 4x4 stud. This 20V XR Brushless 1/2 inch 3-Speed Hammer Drill, features an all-metal transmission to help withstand tough drilling sessions, like mud-mixing or drilling multiple holes continuously. Another awesome feature is the pivotable LED light built into the base of the drill, with 3 settings, 1 being a 20 minute flashlight option, so you can use the drill as a flashlight, producing an impressive 65 lumens. The 1/2 inch nitro-carburized metal chuck with carbide inserts has high bit-retention resulting in fewer dropped or damaged bits. This tool comes Tool Connect Chip-Ready (sold separately) for app-based asset management. The only disadvantage would be drilling overhead, as the tool has some weight to it, but the tool also seems to be made very solid, and will definetly strengthen your body with use.

The adjustable 3-position LED light is incredibly useful for illuminating dim work areas, and the all-metal transmission construction adds to the tool’s durability. The high bit-retention with the 1/2 in. ratcheting nitro-carburized metal chuck ensures that bits stay securely in place.
