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.

The brushless motor is a true powerhouse. It not only provides outstanding performance but also extends the tool's lifespan. It effortlessly breezes through a wide range of materials, making my drilling and hammering tasks smoother and more efficient. The 20V MAX XR battery system keeps the power flowing, and I never have to worry about running out of juice mid-task. This DEWALT hammer drill has truly become an invaluable addition to my toolbox, and I couldn't be happier with its performance. If you're in the market for a top-tier hammer drill that combines ergonomic comfort with impressive power, the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Hammer Drill is a winner that will not disappoint.
I am so very happy with this drill, it is probably the best drill I have ever used. It is a little bigger than my previous drill and the basic 20V drill I have, but that is expected being an XR drill with hammer option.
It is definitely more heavy duty than other drills (including Dewalt) I have used. The chuck is better, it is all metal instead of some plastic/rubber on previous models I have used. Most likely because of the hammer function.
The drill fits perfectly in my hand and is very well balanced, quite easy to use and maneuver around. I put the little belt clip on also, very handy for going up and down ladders. This is the first drill I've actually had this on, now I'm pretty sure I won't be able to live without it.
I have only used a 2AH battery and get plenty of use from it, although I have not used the hammer function. I actually have a Dewalt corded hammer drill, it will be interesting to compare the two if I ever can. My use has been small and large screws, drilling in wood and metal up to a 4" hole saw through wood. Everything worked great and I varied the use between the three gears, so each has its own benefits.
I read the other reviews about the drill failing and poor quality compared to previous units, hopefully the couple at the top of the review log are not common occurrences. Time will tell, but right now I am very happy with the drill.
So I change my review to 4 stars. This is in all respects but one a great drill. Now that DeWalt has repaired my unit, I can change my rating.
Original review: This drill would be a first-rate tool, but suffers from a fatal design flaw. The chuck is keyless – you just twist to tighten it, then twist in the opposite direction to loosen the grip on your bit.
Yes, it's more efficient than the old keyed chuck in terms of quick-changing bits, but the new system introduces a a great propensity to fail and – this is the simply unforgivable part – DeWalt has made it next to impossible to get at the chuck to replace it. You have to – completely – disassemble the tool and use a torch to get the chuck free.
Worse still, DeWalt's "3-year warrantee" isn't a 3-year warrantee, no matter what you read in their manual. The actual defect warrantee is 1 year, and the chuck problem is considered normal wear and tear.
I'm a retiree who used the tool very lightly for 2 years. Now the chuck is toast and I have a ≈ $250 door stop to show for my investment.
This is a case of a really poor design decision being taken out of the hide of the consumer. It has really shaken my faith in DeWalt's judgment.
