Very powerful and with the right drill bit it will breeze into hard brick and concrete. The downside is... it is heavy... so overhead work can be a chore if there is enough of it and also you have to remember to take it off No3 speed when screwing otherwise you will snap the screw head off. All in all... a very good machine.

Very powerful a real alternative to a corded combi drill. Not too large although not a compact drill. Quite heavy - what you get from all that power. Comes with a collar handle to take a depth gauge but not the actual rod. DeWalt don't do a depth gauge rod for it. Luckily I had a rod from an older drill and that fit. Battery lasts a very long time.
