I purchased this drill for ONE building (shown in the attached pic). This is a hundred year old courthouse built from solid granite. It's a behemoth building that has been the bane of my existence for six years. Everyone that drills this building (electricians, LV guys like me, contractors) just gets frustrated watching it eat bit after bit or burn up drill after drill. It took me a LOT of research to figure out what I needed. These walls are thirty inches of pure granite. Not "stone" or "rock" or "Concrete".... this is a monster to have to drill! All my research finally told me that I was NEVER going to find a SDS or SDS plus that made bits long enough for what I need in this building. To get the length I needed (30-38 inches) I'm going to HAVE TO BE in the SDS Max category of bits - and that necessitated this drill. I researched Drills from all the major brands but since I'm spending the money I REALLY wanted to go cordless if it was at all possible. Of all the buildings I'd never want to try a cordless drill on, this would be at the TOP of the list. In fact if DeWalt had a picture of what NOT to do - this building should probably be on that page of their manual. But... you never know until you try. I remember spending 1.5 hours trying to drill 1/2" holes in the interior walls of this nightmare with my Makita corded hammer. Yeah, 1.5 HOURS! I'm tired. The drill got too hot and I had to let it cool. Issue after issue after issue. I've literally had electricians that do this for a living tell me "heck no" when I mentioned hiring them to drill this building for me. They all know it. They all hate it. No one wants to drill this place. So we show up today with our new shiny DeWalt cordless rotary hammer and I'm more than a little concerned that I just wasted my money and I'm going to find out this job is too much for this drill. EIGHT MINUTES! That's what it took. It eats through this kind of work like me going through a honey bun on lunch break! Eight minutes per hole in 30 inches of pure granite with a 1/2 bit! What's even more impressive is that the battery did 8 holes before needing to swap batteries. That's a solid HOUR of hard core drilling on one battery. (It comes with two). Worth the money? Dude, I'd have paid TWICE for this kind of performance! Now I literally cant' wait for another challenge. I love my old Makita but me and Brutus (yeah, it's awesome enough that it deserves to be named) here are going to have some fun on upcoming jobs. If it'll drill this building, I've got NO fear of putting it to work anywhere else I need to!

This thing is great!! I can just grab the tool, a couple batteries the bit I need and I’m off to work. No worries about running a cord or having to listen to a generator. With all my other dewalt tools and batteries I can work all day. This does all I need… drill holes in concrete or masonry, demo brick/block/stone, demo concrete within its capacity. To sum it up, it’s a hammer drill/chipping hammer that does everything a coded version does but way more convenient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Dewalt tool since I was an Electrical apprentice and quality and proformance was always a cut above, because seems guys with other brand cordless power and to me Dewalt is the best. This tool right here is quality.
