  • Great tool for a great price
  • so far i'm very happy with the drill. i own a lot of dewalt tools and this was a very good price.
  • I have owned many cheaper drills in my life and non of them even come close to the Dewalt XRP. This drill is worth every penny.
  • I had this drill for a year and it didn't run true right out of the box. Than the chuck went
  • This is an excellent tool. It is well made, has plenty of power and was well thought out by DeWALT.
  • Easy to use although a bit heavy. It really does the job.
  • It worked great for me and has power to do just about anything that I wanted it to do. Unfortunatly, it completely failed on me last week.
  • i am very happy with the standard drilling end of the drill well made and sturdy.
  • It is a work of art and very well built...and she's powerful enough to darn near twist your wrist if you're not ready for it.
  • it regularly runs an 18" x 5/8" ship-auger bit through 8 to 12 inches of framing lumber many times per hour, can handle multiple deep holes with a 3/4" auger, hammerdrills pilot holes for Tapcon anchors
  • Unbelievable torque! Make sure your work is secure and that you have a good grip
  • For outright raw power I think it's great. If you're out there driving a single size screw or drilling through just about anything, it will do a good job.
  • I use larger spade and auger bits than it is rated for when there are no corded drills around. I have mixed drywall mud with it, drilled lots of holes in concrete (again with larger bits than what it is rated for), drilled holes in steel and stainless steel, and driven lag bolts.
  • The dewalt dc925ka is an arm breaking powerhouse,This drill can power thru just about anythinjg you can throw at it.
  • Why pay more for more weight, less battery, and less power? I've been a DeWalt cabinet maker for many years, but the time has come to change.
  • If your main usage for this tool is 50% drilling and 50% setting screws your wasting your money.
  • The "heavy duty" notation is correct. This one is a beast. I love it.
  • HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND IS A SUPERB DRILL BY FAR. A MUST BUY!
