Makes a difference Apr 12, 2009
If you have to drill in brick, and you are wondering if you need a hammer drill, the answer is yes. You might find this drill on discount at Lowe's. But Amazon is always great.

Installed a range hood (6" hole) through red brick with Bosch hammer bit , chisel and this. The control and speed were excellent for me.

I'm Mr.B. I bought this drill to replace a much heavier one I borrowed from my buddy and burned it out. I was able to find the Hitachi, which was more powerful, smaller and lighter at half the price of other brands I shopped. It has held up for my and my friend's projects so far.

Use it correctly and it works fine Feb 27, 2009
If you read the other reviews about this drill you'll see complaints about burning out, etc. This is not a heavy duty contractor type tool. It is great for heavy duty homeowner use where the duty cycle is fairly short. It is specifically NOT for mixing drywall mud or thinset. This is hard on any drill not designed for this task. It is NOT for drilling holes in concrete where you have to do this continually over a sustained period of time for over a half hour. One guy said he burned out a 5/16" drill using this in concrete. Well, this has a variable speed to drill at an appropriate speed in concrete and if you use a good quality bit it works just fine. And be aware that the "5/8" inch means the drilling capacity in concrete NOT the chuck size which is 1/2". Treat this tool well and use it for it's intended use and it will perform well.

Not good enough Feb 16, 2009
Worked find for a while, but burned out turning just 2-3 gallons of thinset. Had to finish with my B&D 18v cordless. Stepping up the DW511 with is 6.7 amp versus 5.0. 1 year warranty is lame.

A great variable speed hammer drill Apr 27, 2008
I have had the drill for a couple of years. I think it is really great and have never had any of the negative experiences listed in these other reviews. I find the slow setting quite slow. I find the high setting quite fast. My nephew and I installed about 30 rock climbing holds using tapcon screws and this drill. It worked absolutely great, and we were trying to do it with two other, much less expensive drills before that. Since then, I have drilled into masonry several times without issue. I have had it break a few screws when I have tried to put them into particularly hard stone, but the drill has always been fine. I haven't had it break a tapcon - those screws are worth the extra you pay, they are great! As of right now, I have owned about five different drills in my life and this is the best one for building, cutting holes, and driving screws or drilling holes into masonry. I haven't used a lot of high-end drills, so I cannot compare this to a Bosch or the like, but I am not disappointed at all with the product. Maybe some of these people got defective ones. If that were the case, I would suggest they do an exchange, because the one that I have works very well. One point, this drill uses a chuck key to tighten the bits, it is corded. I don't use it as my primary drill, I have a cordless drill that I use for everyday tasks, including as an electric screw-driver. I break out this drill when I am building something, cutting something thick or tough, or doing anything with masonry.
