I have been using it as an amateur/semi-professional for 5 years. For the past 2 years, whenever it is under strain, it stops and seems to cause a short circuit even in the battery. Also, it is not that powerful; it is better to choose something with more Nm

I was tired of the drill drivers costing 80 and 100 euros, every 2 or 3 years either the battery would fail, or the chuck, or the button, everything would break down. This tool is sturdy with precision and strong impact, I am sure I am done with the wrong purchases...

Everything is good, better than the Makita in this price range. In some reviews, they write that the battery hangs - this is designed in percussion tools, so that the battery contacts do not fail during impacts.

As an amateur, I consider it a very powerful tool for any job at home or at the cottage/garden. Its batteries (2) 5Ah are long-lasting and will not leave you stranded in the middle of a job. I believe it is more suitable for professionals because an amateur is covered even with two 2Ah batteries, which are cheaper in price

I have been using it for about 3 years now for amateur use.
5Ah battery. Lots of power and with great autonomy, you can get many hours of work without recharging, just keep in mind that the charging takes a long time.
When you hold it in your hands, you can feel its quality.
The only serious negative is its chuck, which doesn't tighten well and often the drill bits or screwdrivers come loose, as well as its eccentric which is not exactly straight, that's why 4 stars.
Other than that, it is a VFM tool.

Powerful tool, I've had it for 4 years with not frequent use, and a problem only occurred with the hammering, meaning when I try to drill a hole in the wall, the power stops. I took it for repair, and they told me the circuit board costs around 100-120 euros!!!!!!! Are we going crazy here? You save some money to supposedly buy a good tool, and it breaks down in 4 years? Then you go to the yellow-blue supermarket, buy one of those for 40 euros, and if it breaks, you throw it away and get another one.

Strong as a tool
The only thing I don't like is that it makes a strange noise
Like it's solving some roulette
And I've only used it once
I don't know if this is how the model is or just mine

The chuck starts to loosen on its own after the 20th use, and I have purchased the same product more than 2 times

Awesome tool, power, torque, and reliability! I drilled holes in concrete without any issues, as well as in 6mm thick iron! The flashlight it has for darkness has 3 operating modes, and on the 3rd mode, it does it all day long!

I am a plumber. I have the DCD 796 hammer drill. Everything was fine until it needed to be repaired. Then they proved to me what I had heard about their service and didn't believe. They said that the chuck has wear and tear that is not covered by DeWalt because it broke due to heavy use. And to fix it, they want it to be done outside of the warranty at a DeWalt store for 55 euros. They say it's due to heavy use, but why did I buy it then? I didn't buy it to mix milk, that's for sure. I even have an example from a supermarket company that sells tools and they fully replaced a similar issue. Good tools, but unfortunately bad customer service

The tool is of high quality and you can tell as soon as you hold it in your hands. However, the reason I am giving it 3 stars is because of its case, which doesn't fit anything, not even a second battery

I have changed two. In the first one, the Chuck got stuck after the first 3 months of use until it got stuck for good. The second one had gaps in the trigger and the light remained on. When you need it to earn a living, you require tools of better quality.

I have it for 6 months. I also have its predecessor from 2016 without any issues.
This one with minimal use since I have it as a second and externally it looks like new, the gear broke on Monday. It doesn't increase the speed and it makes a sound like it's skipping in 2nd gear. I have sent it to the dealership about a week ago and I am waiting for an update. I hope they don't take two months to inform me.

Update:
In ten days I had it back very quickly. There was a change in the speed selector switch. Unfortunately, it is very noticeable that it was opened with cut stickers and marks that show it was difficult to open.

The best in its category.
However, prefer it in the set with the screwdriver.
The case it comes in can only fit this and two batteries.
While the case in the set is bigger and can fit everything together.

The drill driver is very powerful and doesn't get stuck anywhere. I have had it for just over a year and it hasn't struggled with anything. The only "downside" that anyone choosing to buy it should know is that the battery doesn't last very long, at least compared to any other brand I've had. At first, I thought there was a problem with mine and returned it, but that's just how it is. It doesn't have any issues whatsoever and there is no chance of it breaking, I just wanted to mention it.

Very good tool, powerful, lightweight, and high quality materials. It has no problem with the chuck, it turns normally, and the battery fits properly with a slight millimeter play. The flashlight has three brightness levels and the battery has a capacity test.

It is simply perfect for home/hobby use. Get it without a second thought. I was hesitating between Dewalt - Makita & Milwaukee, but luckily I believe I made a very good choice with this Dewalt.

7 months of use only as a drill, metal, wood, wall. The chuck came off. It doesn't tighten, I sent it for service. I will come back when they tell me the damage.

I have it only for one year.. the tool kills stone and eats it better than a boss dog with a muzzle that I have! The brushless technology clearly has a difference in power and duration that the battery produces.. I only changed the chuck lights a little because I tighten it too much and when it is open, the teeth seem to play a little.. maybe it is slightly off-center, maybe it's just my idea because I read it in another review, in any case, this does not affect anything. I will come back in 5-6 years if the batteries still hold up because that is the main thing.. otherwise, you can get a decent tool for a hundred bucks

It is very good in everything, in power, lens, and impact. But its choke is off-center, unacceptable for such a company. I don't know if it is the same in the rest or if it happened to me, or if the warranty covers it... If someone knows, please tell me.

For now, it's perfect in everything but it hasn't been enough time to see how the batteries will hold up. So far, they last incredibly long (for a 2 ampere) and charge in three quarters, and the tool is solid. Next update in 3-4 years to confirm if it still holds up

Very good. The impact drill is powerful, with excellent ergonomics and an amazing grip. Mine has a little play, but it is at acceptable levels. It is worth it.

It is truly the best for its price, also with the 2Ah batteries it is quite lightweight and their durability is satisfactory with professional use. Its impact, if not the best in its category, then certainly one of the best. As for its power, with a hard torque of 70Nm and a soft torque of 27Nm, it is definitely the strongest in its category. Now, as for its durability, time will tell. I have had it for about 2.5 months approximately.

The strongest impact combined with its high speed makes it the strongest in its category, even surpassing much more expensive ones. It is lightweight as if it is not an impact tool. I have had it for 4 years and it works like the first day.

For me, the dcd796 is the top hammer model of Dewalt. The dcd996 model is heavy and quite larger, which makes it a bit difficult to handle. The power it produces is monstrous, and if you combine it with 4-5 ah batteries, it works wonders. Something that not many people know is that the more amps a battery has, the greater the power the tool will output. So, the extra amps are not only for longer duration.

I have it for about 1 year. I bought it for amateur use, the reason I bought it was that I needed a powerful tool even though I don't use it often, when I need it, I want it to have the power to do what I need. Before this, I had a Bulle and an Einhell, both very good for their price (80-100), but due to excessive use, the gears wore out, the Dewalt has metal gears and I don't think it will have such a problem. Its batteries never run out, they charge quickly (I haven't tested them when they are completely empty). The negatives are 1. very abrupt brake, when you press and release the switch a few times, the abrupt braking loosens the chuck, 2. the chuck does not have the best accuracy.

I have been using it professionally for 2 years and it is perfect. It has the best impact out of all the professional ones on the market, with a rotation speed of 2000rpm. You need to be careful not to let your hand rotate with it for a long time, as the battery lasts a long time, as if it were 4ah. The stock is very good if you want to tighten it well, just tighten it and it brakes on its own and works like a charm. Good light with a timer. Very lightweight for a 1.6g impact.

I will simply say about the weight, this depends on the battery..
As for the rest, flawless, a very powerful tool...
