Review: Pretty awesome compared to my old Makita 18v hammer drill - My old Makita was similar; 3 speed, 18v lithium with hammer setting. But this Dewalt is much better! First off sheer drilling power is sooo much more powerful. I drilled a thick commercial wood door to install a deadbolt, and the Dewalt bored the big hole in about 30 seconds on fast setting 3. Was like "WOW!" Went from taking about 15-20 minutes to 30 seconds. The LED light is much much brighter too. Much more useful and there is a timer setting sort of. Another thing I really like is the case. It is more compact than the old Makita case. It will only fit 2 batteries which is sort of a bummer but it is heavy with just two 5 AH batteries. I dropped the whole thing on my toe when I wasn't wearing my work boots and it sucked! Ouch! The drill itself is fairly compact for the rating it has. It feels good in the hand and is somewhat balanced. The batteries take a long time to charge which is one of the down sides. My Makita batteries charge faster even my 5 AH one. Another sort of downside is the chuck is sort of finicky. I had a hard time with it releasing the bits. It seemed to have fixed itself but it was really stuck. This drill has a LOT of power so be careful! A person could easily sprain their wrist so be sure to use the extra handle if you think you might hit a knot in the wood or a nail or something. Also definitely wear gloves for vibration protection and for the chuck. I had to take off my wedding ring so it wouldn't destroy it trying to get the chuck to release. It tore up a rag I was using to protect my skin, and tore my non-latex gloves to shreds in an instant. Wear some pretty tough gloves too, not cheap ones. It will tear them apart fast. I've owned lots of dewalt, makita, crafstman and milwaukee drills over the years including a few corded ones and this Dewalt seems to be the most powerful I've owned. I have done handy work for almost 25 years now professionally and this drill is crazy on the torque and raw power. I won't be using it on easy jobs my smaller lighter drills can handle. I will only be using it on heavy duty jobs. Its frickin' dangerous! But all-in-all I really like it and it was an excellent purchase and paid for itself the first time I used it. 5 star for sure. Be sure to read all the reviews as there are a lot of good insights here that were helpful to me.
Review: great product - heavy duty more than enough torque to use as a driver or whatever use i need which is a very good thing considering cordless use out farming where electricity is not always available without loading a generator is necessary super product

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to use this in europe and i would need a compatible 220v charger? is there something from the producer itself? how can i use this with 220v?**
A: I bought this tool for use in Hong Kong with 240v.  I bought the DCB118 fast charger from the UK along with a FlexVolt battery (DCB606) and they work perfectly with the DCD996B (and my DCF887B).  It is worth noting that shipping of Li-ion batteries is now restricted internationally based on a number of factors including watt-hours and if the battery is being shipped on it's own or with equipment.  I had to return a combo kit as my US trans-shipper would not ship Li-ion batteries with equipment and gave me no option to split the package and ship the batteries separately (conversely, they shipped the larger FlexVolt battery (54V) with charger from the UK without issue).Compatible chargers include DCB102, DCB118, DCB132, and DCB1800B.If you are going to buy the DCD996 (or other 20V MAX tool), then in my experience, just buy the bare tool and then source the battery and charger locally.

**Q: Is there a way to remove the chuck?**
A: I think now the chucks are pressed onto a shaft.  They are a lot harder to remove than they used to be.

**Q: Is there a light that shines when the trigger is pulled?**
A: The one I received does have a light on it.

**Q: Should the battery be loose on the grip? It rattles it's so loose...**
A: I have 5 drills and 12 batterys, they all are lose. I suspect this becase they operate under the bits and are covered with all material drilled; it had yo be lose enough to fall free with out binding the battery.
They all work great. Batt life is most affected by leaving on the charger, remove once charged.
