DEWALT 20V MAX Flexvolt Advantage Hammer Drill DCD999B - Brushless, Cordless, Bare Tool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the new DCD999 for several weeks and it is an all around joy to use. The drill is very well balanced – even better balanced than the previous models. Also the rubber overmolding on the grip makes it very comfortable to use. This drill also includes a new, longer side support handle that is befitting a drill that is this powerful and makes it much easier to control. Where this drill shines is the power that it packs with a Flexvolt battery attached. I have used this drill side by side with several previous model DeWalt 18v and 20v hammer-drills drilling into old hardened concrete slabs and nothing can compete with this new drill in speed or torque. Whether you are looking to get your first battery powered hammer-drill or are looking to upgrade from an older model, this drill coupled with a Flexvolt battery will not disappoint.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this drill as part of free promotion for review. The drill is pretty standard for DeWalt, so it's already great. I used it to clean up several spots in our deck. There's extra grip material even beyond the grip area that's great for ease of use. The most impressive part. to me is the light feature. I've had DeWalt drills in the past that would only light while the trigger was pulled. With this drill, you can set it so that the light stays on! Even more, there are settings that allow you to have low, medium, and high light settings. Lastly, the high setting simultaneously sets it to be lit for 20 minutes. I tested this for five of the twenty, and the light didn't flicker once. This would really be excellent for folks who do a lot of work in lowly lit areas. The brushless feature is great, too.
