Customers like the quality of the drill. They say it's a great drill, fantastic, and well built. They also say it does rock work well, has good control, and has no problems with solid concrete. The tool quality is better than those DIY sets where you can get 9 tools for $500. Customers also mention that the metal chuck and super strong motor make the drill powerful for putting holes into ice. They feel the drill is balanced, powerful, yet lighter than an 18 v model.

Customers like the energy of the drill. They mention it has so much power, it will drill through most wood with ease, and has a wide range of incremental power settings. The power is there for most anything, and the wide range is of incremental speed settings. It has tremendous power basically at all speeds. The battery life is reasonable using a 6ah battery. It can be used for super simple, small, low power applications, and does some serious drilling in other material. It's a power house.

35 customers mention32 positive3 negative

Customers are satisfied with the speed of the drill. They mention that it has great speed, torque, and helps them quickly cut through very large materials. They also appreciate the 3 speed options and the buzzing hammer effect that makes it go quite quickly. The variable speed from the trigger is well distributed through trigger pull, and the hammered action is good. The light is super bright, and runtime is really good.

31 customers mention27 positive4 negative

Customers like the torque of the drill. They say it has amazing, consistent, and great torque. Some say that the high speed belts out torque, while others say that it's more immediate. Some customers also mention that the low speed high torque mode is awesome for driving screws.

DCD996 Hammer Drill
5 Stars
DCD996 Hammer Drill
**Update: Monster, Powerful and Right Now Torque. If you have ever gotten into serious drilling than you have to experience it with this drill. The instantaneous torque of the drill helps get work done faster. I have never had to back out of wood, concrete or steel. You must: I Mean must use good bits or this drill will snap them or turn them into a smooth reed. Also as you use it continually the drill does not heat up like other drills I have used in the past.... I'm looking at you Milwaukee.I have used this drill and would still give it my rating to pros and handymen alike. The others post high numbers but this drill beats them all. Add the new dcb606 and 609 battery series and you will have all the power you will need in your hand. USA Built.Bought this drill for weekly work as an installer. I also have a DCD791 for drilling and fastening. This drill is the most powerful non-corded drill I have ever used. It is similar to the Milwaukee M18 2nd gen but in my opinion the torque from this drill is more immediate and when you get into deep holes in masonry this powers through it faster. I am so impressed with this new hammer drill from Dewalt. As someone that relies on speed to get things done this drill has been amazing. I just finished hammer drilling approximately 75+ holes in concrete and cinderblock with a 5ah battery no problem. Still had 2 of 3 bars showing at the end of my day.A warning: This drill has enough torque that if you are not completely focused on the task you are doing it will wrench itself out of your hand. Also in hammer mode this thing is extremely loud in closed bathrooms and electrical rooms where echoing occurs. I would recommend ear muffs for anyone doing drilling for more than a few holes.Another thing to note is how little heat is generated when continually using the drill. I believe this will play well with the longevity of this power tool.Last thing, the ergonomics of the drill in your hand is spot on. It is well balanced and very comfortable to work with all day. Vibrations are minimal for a drill with this much power. I believe this tool is A+ for professionals.Pro’sAbsolute Power House, Torque in all 3 Speeds, Hammer Drill Mode is excellent, Great Metal Chuck, LED light is best in classCon’sForward and Reverse button needs refinement, 3 Speed Selector sometimes sticks
