DEWALT DC927KL 18-Volt 1/2-inch Lithium Ion 18V Cordless Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver with NANO Technology

I was a little surprised to see only one review on this drill and a poor score. Breakdowns happen with tools, which is acceptable if the problem is not a pervasive one. I have owned many Dewalt tools and have only had one trigger go bad. With Dewalt's warranty it was quickly repaired.

As for tool performance, I love this drill as it combines driver, drill and hammerdrill functions in one tool. I build decks and use this drill for pilot holes, boring larger holes for carriage bolts, and drilling anchor bolt holes in concrete. While it isn't a perfect tool for these jobs, the versatility makes up for it. The only alternative is buying a dedicated tool for each use such as a dedicated hammerdrill.

The tool was not working properly. I contacted DeWalt, who promptly replaced the unit with a refurbished tool of the same model. No sooner did I return the first one, that I noticed the second one seemed to have some issue with the...Read more

This tool functions better then expected as drill, hammer drill, and driver. Dewalt has a very good product here.
