I was a little surprised to see only one review on this drill and a poor score. Breakdowns happen with tools, which is acceptable if the problem is not a pervasive one. I have owned many Dewalt tools and have only had one trigger go bad. With Dewalt's warranty it was quickly repaired.
As for tool performance, I love this drill as it combines driver, drill and hammerdrill functions in one tool. I build decks and use this drill for pilot holes, boring larger holes for carriage bolts, and drilling anchor bolt holes in concrete. While it isn't a perfect tool for these jobs, the versatility makes up for it. The only alternative is buying a dedicated tool for each use such as a dedicated hammerdrill. Because the drill is necessarily heavy to accomodate the hammerdrill function, I use a Dewalt Impact Driver for driving screws, as it is lighter and the impact function makes it so easy.
I have read negative reviews about the new Nano battery's shutdown feature when it reaches a certain discharge level. I happen to like this feature. The battery delivers almost full power right up to the point of shutdown, helping me avoid the temptation to keep driving with a weak battery and using the drill like a screwdriver on those last couple screws, which is hard on the drill. Second, I believe this feature will result in a longer cycle life for the battery, since the number one reason for premature battery failure is inconsistent charging cycles, i.e. charging the battery when it's half drained one time and totally dead the next time. With the Nano, I just run it till it stops, then charge. I know I am cycling it consistently.
Better then expected - E. Rountree - Montclair, NJ USA
This tool functions better then expected as drill, hammer drill, and driver. Dewalt has a very good product here.

DEWALT’s famous NANO-Phosphate Lithium Ion cells deliver 2,000 recharges, trade marking them as an industry leader in power tool durability and cycle life. The combination of this patent NANO Technology and the DEWALT high-efficiency motor delivers 425 unit watts out of power coupled with the runtime of 18 volts, but at the light weight of 5.5 pounds. The DC927KL is designed with a three speed, all metal transmission and offers settings at 0-450 rpm, 0-1,500 rpm, and 0-1,800 rpm. It also allows for speeds at 0-7,650 bpm, 0-25,500 bpm, and 0-30,600 bpm. This ergonomically styled hammerdrill features a unique 1/2 inch, self-tightening chuck with superior gripping torque while you work and 22 clutch settings for increased control. Included with the DC927KL is: one 1 hour charger, two 18 volt batteries with NANO Technology, and one 360 degree side handle, with a heavy duty kit box for storage.
