A heavy, heavy tool [Posted on 2007-01-04] DeWalt makes some great tools: I'm convinced that my future hand tools will be from this company. However, in hindsight, I would not have purchased the "hammer" part of this hammer drill. While it may be occasionally useful, it adds an unconscionable amount of weight to the tool (as compared to a friend's 14.4 v Dewalt drill without that feature. When it comes to using a power drill, that extra weight can be tiring. In addition, it's "longer" than the hammer-less drill, making it not only heavier, but more unwieldy. In fairness to DeWalt, I think every manufacturer's hammer drill is bigger and heavier than the non-hammer variety. I should have known this before ordering. Otherwise, it's a well made tool, and does what it should; plus, the XRP batteries do seem to have a very long run-time. The reconditioned tool and case all seem brand new and I've encountered no problems whatsoever.
