Dewalt 1/2 in. Variable Speed Reversible Hammer Drill

I bought this drill to be able to drill into block wall in order to frame a basement bathroom. I have used it for many other projects since. I think that I can switch between the hammer drill and regular. The drill is fantastic and very powerful.

I got this drill specifically to drill some holes in metal. I was building a custom truck flat bed and needed to drill mounting holes in some thick steel square tube and C Chanel. I first started my project with a drill I already had and that started smoking within 1-2 holes. So I had to upgrade and bought a off brand drill and that only lasted 2 holes before it started smoking. Extremely frustrated, I sat back for a second and I decided that If I wanted good results I have to buy something capable of doing the job I needed. So I got this DeWALT drill and it held up so much better then the previous drills. I got through about 4 holes before I needed it to cool down but didn't get it to the point of smoking. I want to say I finished a reminder of 8 more drilled holes to finish the job. After that project I've continued to use this drill for many projects around my shop.
