1.0 out of 5 stars what a piece of junk, March 8, 2001

By	Kevin Bertetto (Elmendorf AFB, AK United States) - See all my reviews

I owned this yellow piece of garbage for less than a week. The cheap plastic case cracked while hammering into concrete. I thought I'd go with DeWalt this time since it was cheaper than the Milwaukee. Sure am glad I was able to get my money back and buy a real tool. No more toys for my crew. Milwaukee all the way, I should have known better, I have yet to have any Milwaukee tool fail on me. Don't know why it cracked, maybe it was too cold outside or something, but regardless, that should not have happened.

5.0 out of 5 stars Drills though thick concrete!, June 2, 2000

By	Anthony G. Picciano (Westminster, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I needed to drill a 1" hole through 14" of hard concrete. Needless to say, my little Black & Decker drill was not up to the job. I first tried a Milwaukee 1/2" Hammerdrill, but the chuck actually broke off from the shank halfway through the hole. I traded it in for this DeWalt and finished the job. Great drill, nice color.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great drill for the price., January 9, 2001

By A Customer

The power delivery on this hammer drill was fantastic. I had a complicated drill operation thru' metal followed by concrete. So I had to switch bits thru' the operation. But it was not a problem and performed better than I anticipated. For $160, you are getting a hammer drill, with 2 speeds and reversing power.

Better get good bits for this baby 'cos it drills good. The bits will most likely be the weak link. The 7.2 amp rating is beat only by the 8.5 amp.
