Have you thought about getting one with a hammer feature for drilling
into concrete, just in case you have to.


That would be real nice but I am interested in this particular drill
because of it's weight (light) and the fast charging battery. DeWalt
doesn't make one like that. Makita does but it doesn't seem to get as




Short charging time = short run time so make sure you have at least two
batteries.

Check out this Makita - doesn't weigh much at all:
http://www.makita.com/menu.php?pg=pr...t&tag=BDF452HW it doesn't have
the long-life battery that my Makita does, but it is much lighter and
according to the site, .5 pound lighter than the Milwaukee.

The hammer feature .... good thing you don't want it, you're not missing
much. If anyone wants to drill in concrete, they're better off with a true
hammer drill.
