Overall Feedback:
78% positive
64% appreciated the long-lasting battery life, but 36% experienced frequent battery drain
I am uncertain about the battery life of this drill. Only time will tell if it will hold up as long as my previous drill did.
When drilling masonry with a small 2 amp hour battery, the battery life is not good.
I did not mention anything about the battery life of the drill. The review is about the authenticity of the product.

70% impressed with the drill's durability, while 30% experienced frequent breakdowns
The DeWalt hammer drill is powerful and consistent.
I am unsure about the durability of the drill and hope it will last as long as my previous drill, the 995, did.
The battery life is the only downside of this drill as it drains quickly when drilling masonry with a small battery like a 2 amp hour battery.
I won't be buying another Dewalt drill because the chuck doesn't loosen and ends up getting destroyed when I try to free it.
70% found it easy to use
I have used this hammer drill driver and it is the best. It can drill masonry, metal, wood, or anything else with the appropriate type of drill bit.
I suggest leaving the side handle on the machine when not in use to avoid strain from removing and installing it.
67% liked the comfortable grip, but 33% found it bulky
I had difficulty loosening the chuck of the hammer drill and had to destroy it while trying to free it.
63% appreciated the low noise level, while 37% found it loud and vibratory
I have noticed that this drill has less power than the 995, possibly due to the noise level.

70% found the hammer effective, while 30% experienced variable results
I can use the drill to drill masonry, metal, wood, or anything else with the appropriate type of drill bit as it has a lot of power.
The DeWalt hammer drill is powerful and consistent, as expected.
On the first use, the drill made a grinding noise and the motor ran but did not turn the bit.
