Dewalt 20v max* hammer drill, 1/2-inch, tool only (dcd985b)

Superb machine

I bought this as a gift as I already own 2 and was tired of lending mine out, these things are a beast and can do pretty much what any corded drill can do and then some. I did allot of the construction on my house with the 18v version 10 years ago and when it finally died a couple years back I bought the 20v version and I have not been disappointed with them yet. Its not a big deal to change bits but having two certainly makes it quicker to get jobs done since I don't have to change the bits all the time. Do I and would I recommend this drill to people? Yes! Great Power and torque which are all adjustable.

Exelente

Love this thing. I used to drill through masonry with my normal Dewalt but it took forever to get through and probably took some years off of my drill’s life. This thing just smashes right through. I was able to put deep half inch holes in a concrete slab probably less than 30 seconds a hole. Nice!

Excelente taladro

I work as an elevator constructor and this drill really holds up for the heavier duty jobs. I do a lot of drilling through steal beams and hammer drilling through concrete on a daily basis and I had one that lasted almost 4 years. I find the fact that since it’s not brushless you can push it a little harder as opposed to the newer brushless models other guys I know on the job have problems with, whether it’s dewalt or Milwaukee. It seems that on the brushless models there’s a built in senser that when it gets too hot or getting pushed too much it kills the power making you wait while it cools down. The complaint with the older models is that the brushes will wear out, but for a $120 bux it’s well worth it to beat the hell out of this thing for a couple years and then get a new one. If you’re just a handyman/ around the house type you’ll have this tool for a lifetime. In the end it’s money well spent and a nice heavy duty drill.
