We have been using 3 DW505 models for a few years. First I got one for our workshop. Then 2 employees bought the same model for themselves after using our drill. This is, I believe, the only two-speed switchable hammer without a clutch. With 13mm cartridge. I've read about gearbox problems, I've read that some people just don't like composite fiber gearboxes (the Boeing 787 is made of reinforced composite resin). fatal reviews here. This is a dependable impact drill with plenty of power and a proven track record for me and our team. And today I'm here to get another one.
