Product ReviewsBROKEN DEWALT DW511 1/2" (13mm) VSR Single Speed Hammer Drill,FOR PARTS

highly rated hammer drill

I bought this used, and it looks brand new. But I may send it back, reason being... it gets pretty warm as soon as you turn it on, and also whines a little bit at low speeds, I don't know if it needs a break in period, or if this is normal with this type of drill, but my Milwaukee drills run a lot smoother. IT does drill holes in wood and concrete with no problem, and I got it at a good price, but I am pretty paranoid about its longevity.Read full review...

Slip tool and go with tool with normal chuck

Decent tool but it did not come with a chuck key.
I have many chuck keys but none fit.
It must require a special chuck key that nobody sells.
I purchased a multi-sized key and one of the sizes almost fit, but not quite and it was grinding the key and drill.
I know this review sounds funny, but true.Read full review...

great price and drill so far

a refurb drill for $60 is a good deal. it really seems great so far. Reason I said I didn't like the grip was the handle is so far back from the drill tip, when you drill for long periods of time my hand feels it. So not sure if its the angle or what. seems like they can play around with that handle design, seems very dated. But really its not a big deal. I use this drill for metal products a few times a week. I like it.Read full review...

Excellent

My last drill was a Skill brand cheapo drill that lasted me 20 years, but the bushings and motor gave out. This time I decided to try the DeWalt. This drill is fabulous, but is larger and heavier than the cheaper models. The bonus is much more power. I've had it for 6 months and love it!Read full review...

quality item DW511

DeWalt DW 511 hammer drill is a great product and a quality item. More power tnen is needed for a general DIY home owner. I know many contractors that agree with the quality of all DeWalt tools.

110% Satisfied

Excellent drill and power. Great for drilling into stone when using the hammer option. Used the drill for boring 3" holes into pine logs and the drill handled it with ease. Great RPM's for using as a polisher and attaching a wire brush to clean rusted metal. The chuck grabs drill bits and other accesories tightly without slipping. I have never owned a better drill and with Dewalt's reputation I am planning on getting many years of use.Read full review...
