    Default Issues with Dewalt cordless hammer drill?

    Hi lads (and ladettes).

    I've recently bought a new Dewalt 18V cordless XRP hammer drill. It's a great drill, but the fwd/neutral/reverse switch near the trigger is very, very light. I'm used to having a bit of resistance in changing the direction (including other examples of the same drill).

    Has anyone else encountered this, or is this ...'normal'. I've own/owned Makita, Ryobi, Hitachi etc, which are all a bit stiffer, without being difficult.

    Any thoughts? Cheers.
