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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Powerful, Compact, and Packed with Features

[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.

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.

Posted by: Shadie Woods LLC
from DFW area in Texas
[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
Posted by: JPP85345
from Peoria,AZ
[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

from Salt Lake City, UT
[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.
