DeWalt DCD796

Amazing drill, regret not buying this sooner! – I wish I bought this drill sooner, I previous had an Ozito Hammer Drill, and using that drill to drill into masonry, it was an almost impossible job, some holes took me 30-60 minutes as the drill would always overheat and I would run out of physical energy.

preferred 2 3 Ah batteries.

There is small but noticeable chuck wobble. I tried the hammer drill setting and the chuck undid itself. The drill is quite noisy.

Dewalt has a 30 day no questions asked return and I intend to replace it with a Makita kit.

I would not recommend this product.
