I have a collection of Dewalt tools but this is by far the largest hand held power tool I have ever purchased from the company. Like a jackhammer, it's powerful enough to punch through any concrete, mortar, or masonry you throw at it. As a hammer drill, it can handle large holes with ease. The vibration feedback on the hands is not bad at all. At 12 pounds, it gets heavy when you use it horizontally, but it gets the job done quickly enough that the whole thing is far less painful than I thought
