Review: Excellent cordless hammer drill - Great for medium duty masonry jobs. If you want it for regular drilling, it is very powerful. Does not run consistently with the 2 Amp batteries for hammer work. 5 amp batteries or bigger are best. I had a similar size Makita corded hammer drill I used since the 1990's. The Dewalt produces similar performance. Very happy with it. Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Advertising Archive Daniel D.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Maybe a dumb question, but is there a different between a hammer drill and a drill with a hammer setting? Is this too powerful to use regularly?**
A: There are no dumb questions except those not asked. If the word hammer is used in the description then you are dealing with a hammer drill. The hammer setting is designed for use with a masonry drill bit for use when drilling into concrete or bricks and is not beneficial when using a regular drill bit and drilling into regular surfaces. It is not a matter of being "too powerful" but a matter of being unnecessarily pounding on a surface where there is no need or benefit to pound. The hammer setting does not get used unless drilling with a masonry bit.

**Q: Does it have a 220 V charger? if not, can you provide with one 220v instead of 110v?**
A: I realize this is an old question, but it never was really answered and I see the question all the time. The answer is that a standard Dewalt charger is rated for 110v to 260v. So, just the normal charger will work fine (actually better and faster) with 220v. The do this for exactly this reason, so the don't have to produce 2 separate chargers for their products. No "converter" needed. An adapter might be needed in certain countries due to plugs not being standard worldwide.

**Q: Will it do hammer only? Chipping?**
A: Get a SDS hammer drill if you need to  chip. I have 3 and they work well for light chipping.

**Q: Does this drill have enough torque for ice fishing with a 8” auger?**
A: Absolutely 
Kicks butt
I use mine with a kdrill auger. Practically no downward pressure needed. Free lifetime sharpening
Flys through the ice
It will run up to a 10" auger
You can connect the drill to the auger and honestly pick it up off the ground with 1 finger
