| Product Description This is easily one of the most powerful hammer drills on the market, packing 500 inch-pounds of torque and tackling the largest holes and heaviest screws. Whether you're going into studs or concrete, you'll appreciate the patented three-speed transmission that delivers an amazing 2,000 rpm at its max. In hammerdrill mode, get ready to be impressed with the speed you drill into concrete and other masonry at 34,000 blows per minute. Every inch of this tool is quality, from the ½-inch metal ratcheting chuck and its carbide jaws to the super-comfortable grip and beefy extended-life XRP 18-volt battery. Balance in hand is awesome, and the 360-degree auxiliary handle adjusts easily to just the right position. Similarly, the impact driver is incredibly powerful for its size, making short work of everything we challenged it with. Kickback is minimal. And like the hammerdrill in this sweet package deal, it's all quality: rugged magnesium gear case, all-metal transmission and quick-release chuck, grippy wrap-around rubber molding for super control. And yeah, we admit it, we love the contractor's bag, too.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste |
| What Some Customers Thought
Useful Combination, Good Price I recently acquired this at a national chain store. (I hadn't seen it on Amazon at that time, and I needed it *now* - but it would have been a better buy on Amazon if I could have spared a couple of days.)^M

The DC988KA hammer drill is great, and I've reviewed that separately. Great torque - it feels like it has more than either of my two aging corded drills! Take some time to practice with it if this is your first cordless drill. I found it had enough power to strip Phillips heads until I learned how to regulate it better.^M

The temptation with the hammer drill is to use it for *everything*, but there are some jobs for which the impact driver will just be a better choice. I haven't tried taking off auto wheels with it yet, but it looks like it will handle it.^M

This kit includes a contractor bag which is fairly roomy, with six open outside compartments and an inner elastic one. I was initially disappointed, since I prefer metal cases, but this has turned out to be very useful to collect all the other junk one takes along, as well as the two tools and batteries. The outside compartments work well for little things like locks and a cell phone. It's fairly sturdy.^M

Overall, recommended. If you are going to buy just a cordless drill and work it hard enough to justify an 18 volt unit, this is a good buy. If you have the money, a four-piece kit may be a better choice, but it will be about twice the price of this deal, and you may have to hunt for one with an impact driver. So far this has been a good choice for me. |
