I have a lot of tools and have just started spending extra money on Dewalt battery powered hand tools for consistency and compatibility. I had to drill through a concrete block to complete the garage product and I couldn't do it with other drill bits. After some research, I found that I needed an impact drill to drill into hard surfaces efficiently. The drill arrived on time but was in a plastic bag instead of the traditional Dewalt box. This made me a little nervous, but the drill turned out to be new. The drill works great. It has enough power, it's light and comfortable.
