Comment:
I bought this drill about two years ago, and it has done everything that I have asked of it. We remodeled a 50yr old house and anything that I needed it to do, it did. It has more power than most tasks that I need from it, but I would much rather have that than too little. I would classify my self as a serious DIY'er and, short of this drill turning into a lemon in the future for some unlikely reason, I imagine that this could possible be the last drill I buy. I gave it 4stars as the batteries have begun to show a little wear now, and after I full day (7-8hrs) of using it, I will normally need to charge them once each. This is really more of battery issue, though, and outside of this, this tool is awesome. I have only used the hammerdrill a few times, so I can't comment on that other than it worked as advertised. This drill is a little on the expensive side, but I don't regret getting it. Like I said, for what I do, which is mostly home repair, woodworking, and a small amount of metal work in my garage, this drill is by far my most essential.

Comment:
I own a tree farm and I use this drill to auger holes 10" to 14" deep with a 4"
auger .... I don't think this drill was intended for this kind of punishment, but it takes it ... I'm very impressed. I used to use a one man gasoline auger, except the weight started to get to me, so I thought I'd try out this drill (20 lbs. vs 6 lbs). I've drilled approximately 8000 holes and it hasn't skipped a beat .... you just have to be careful of the torque(around 1400#'s), I've come close to breaking my wrist a couple of times when it got hung up on rocks or roots. I get about 45 holes out of a battery ... so have plenty of extra batteries.
Comment:
I'm not sure if this review should be directed at Amazon or Dewalt. The problem I have with this drill is we bought it as 'brand new', yet it isn't up to the standards set by the competition (Milwaukee and Makita) or even Dewalt's newer models. If you are looking for a Dewalt drill, it is best to pass on this and go right to their newer 970 or 950 model. This drill is bigger, heavier, seems to have less power and is just harder to handle the the competition or the other, newer Dewalt models. Also, the switch to change the speed of the drill is hard to switch. We took it for service but were told it was 'normal' with this model Unless you get this for a great price, stay away.

Clutches are weak
|
Comment:
I have owned two of the XRP models since they came out. On both drills, the clutches are failing. Even on full lock, it will slip. Also, on one drill, the speed or range selector on the top no longer snaps into place and will slide between gears with normal use. I have many more well used Dewalt drills and none of them have had a gearbox problem. I don't know if this has been fixed in later models, but I will be buying the cheaper none XRP versions from now on.
