Keeps on chuggin':
I bought my original DW505 as a rebuild from a tool show at the local Guard Armory in 1997. I have definitely over bit the chuck by more than a half inch in concrete on numerous occasions. The 505 takes it and keeps going. Finally, I wore the chuck pawls down so far that they would not clamp a bit. Went to change the chuck but, I could not get it off. Amazon was running a killer deal on the 505K with the case and roughly the same price I paid for the recon 10 years ago. Say what you will about the plastic... more info
Dwalt Hammer Drill:
I use this drill often and it holds up and operates fairly well. This is my second one, the first one I wore out after 4 years of heavy use. For the money a good drill.
Good quality and is a tool that will serve well over the years:
For the past month I have been repairing a 20x24 deck out off the back yard. This three year old drill my buddy brought has been a work horse. I was so impressed I bought one the other day. First job was to drill down into the concrete 2 half inche holes 2+ inches deep. This brand new drill with a new bit went into the concrete like it was wet wood. This is my 4th or 5th drill and my first corded one. I expect it to be my last also.
Failed the first day:
Drill over heated and failed after just 5, 5/32 holes for Tap Con screws. I had to finish the job with my far less expencive Ryobi 18 volt cordless drill.
