 Keeps on chuggin' Mar 07, 2007
I bought my original DW505 as a rebuild from a tool show at the local Guard Armory in 1997. I have definitely over bit the chuck by more than a half inch in concrete on numerous occasions. The 505 takes it and keeps going. Finally, I wore the chuck pawls down so far that they would not clamp a bit. Went to change the chuck but, I could not get it off. Amazon was running a killer deal on the 505K with the case and roughly the same price I paid for the recon 10 years ago. Say what you will about the plastic gear case. It has never been an issue for me. A thoroughly excellent drill that I would buy again. Obviously, because I did! Amazon's shipping rocks. I have yet to overpay vs. the big boxes. Thanks Guys and Girls!
 Dwalt Hammer Drill Nov 09, 2006
I use this drill often and it holds up and operates fairly well. This is my second one, the first one I wore out after 4 years of heavy use. For the money a good drill.
Good quality and is a tool that will serve well over the years Jun 05, 2006
For the past month I have been repairing a 20x24 deck out off the back yard. This three year old drill my buddy brought has been a work horse. I was so impressed I bought one the other day. First job was to drill down into the concrete 2 half inche holes 2+ inches deep. This brand new drill with a new bit went into the concrete like it was wet wood. This is my 4th or 5th drill and my first corded one. I expect it to be my last also.

 Failed the first day May 27, 2006
Drill over heated and failed after just 5, 5/32 holes for Tap Con screws. I had to finish the job with my far less expencive Ryobi 18 volt cordless drill.
Can't kill it. May 18, 2006
I've owned and used the Dewalt 505 hammer drill for 10+ years now. It has made me literally 1000's of dollars in work and it's still going strong. Twice I thought it was all done with. Once a wire came loose from the trigger from all the drilling and once the hammer action stopped. Took it all apart and everything in the gearbox looked OK. Put it back together and it worked fine again. I think the ball bearing inside slid out of place is all. Tough little drill for sure. Maybe it's no Hilti TE75, but I didn't have to remortgage a house to buy it either. Enjoy. :>)
