Most helpful customer reviews27 of 28 people found the following review helpful.what a piece of junkBy Kevin BertettoI 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.14 of 14 people found the following review helpful.Agree plastic gear housing/ junkBy Remodeling in SoCalDo not buy this unless you want a plastic, yes plastic gear box for the hammer mechanism and gear transmission, with cheap sleeve bushings not ball or roller bearings. I have the older made in USA model this replaced , that has a cast metal gearbox, real bearings and cost less than this. What a sham. I have many DW tools and wrote this to warn others.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.Did not lastBy NickI used this drill for about a year. Because of the dual speed and hammer/drill combo it is very versatile. However, it burned up on me tonight while running some screws into concrete. I expect my tools to last a lot longer than 1 year. I would recommend that you look at the Milwaukee or Bosch if you plan on doing anything other than light work.See all 10 customer reviews...
