The comparison with the 5 amp 20v batteries that still use the smaller lithium cells that do not have the same discharge capability is true. There is a noticeable difference in power.

That said, either the 996 or 998 has all the power one needs and why the extra long handle.... you will need it. You have straight or hammer drilling with an adjustable clutched setting for driving screws, lags, etc. On occasion, we have even used the SDS plus masonry bits in this, but the straight shank are probably better.
All in all, this is a powerful, versatile tool that might be a touch much for the average homeowner.... but this is a decent price before the shipping costs of $15.40 for me, for the tool, 5amp battery, DCB101 charger that says is 4amps that the DCB115 replaced and bag.
A 4amp charger is fine and about all you want on a 5amp 20v battery for longevity of the battery. From completely empty, which is never totally dead on a lithium, it takes a little over an hour to charge and balance a 5amp battery.... but a little longer outside in warmer climates for the cool down period.
The 996, imo, is still Dewalt's best Ham Dr , in their 20v class. I really worry about Dewalt. It's been one flop after another in their "advancements" the past couple years.
Edit: I own a lot of the better Dewalt tools. Their good tools great, their less than good (routers, atomic, brushed) are sub-par. I. wish Dewalt would expand on what they used to be known for, rather than implementing gimmicks. it breaks the yellow/black parts of my heart.

Also, I use the 60v in my XR's (especially the angle grinders... they gobble batteries fast)... never had an issue.
Sold out those new fv advantage tools within two weeks in October
