I believe this is my new favorite DeWalt (or any) tool.
I install signs and had a job the other day requiring letters to be stud-mounted on a monument with a split rock face. Other than the frustration of the ridges and so on that kept diverting the bit off course, the tool performed perfectly. After using a Hilti for similar installations (such as the monument in the background with the limestone face), I was a little concerned about whether or not a cordless version would perform as required. I have to say, I’m thrilled with it. I have five of the 20V Max batteries and brought them all with me as well as the charger, my generator and a DeWalt corded SDS rotary hammer in the event the cordless wasn’t up to the job. Each letter has three to four studs, so I had to drill somewhere between 75 and 100 quarter inch holes in the stone face. I went through one battery in the process and barely part of a second one.
If anyone is considering purchasing this, I would definitely recommend it!

It is great to hear when someone buys a tool and it lives up to the expectations you had.
And when a cordless tool performs well it saves so much set up time. 🙂
It’s really kind of amazing the performance cordless tools are putting out now days. Nice post man.
Great Work!!
I cant wait to see what they will come up with in 2 years!

Same here. Supposedly the next battery technology will be called lithium air. They’re still perfecting lithium ion so I’d say we’re a few years off.
