Description of DEWALT DC926KA Heavy-Duty XRP 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver Kit

Powered by DeWalt's trademarked XRP battery technology and featuring a high-efficiency motor that provides 510 unit watts of max. power, the heavy-duty, cordless DC926KA Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver is a versatile, easy-to-handle tool. Featuring a dependable, all-metal transmission, this drill driver lets you choose from three speed settings for job-specific performance, making it easy to maintain control and have confidence in your work. A 1/2-inch, self-tightening chuck prevents bits from slipping or moving by getting tighter as you work, and pistol-grip design that makes it easy to keep the drill in line for accurate results.

Surprisingly light at just 6.1 pounds, this tool is easy to maneuver and it keeps operator fatigue to a minimum. A 360-degree handle and heavy-duty kit box for easy transport and storage are included in this kit, along with a one-hour charger and two XRP 18-volt extended-run batteries. As an added bonus, there's an integrated storage space in the handle that lets you store standard bits and nut drivers on the tool for convenience.

Customer Review: best cordless I've ever used
Summary: 5 Stars

I work construction for a living, doing a little bit of everything. One minute I'll be driving self taping screws into angle iron, the next I'll be punching holes in sheet-metal. And that's before lunch. This drill is awesome. I've used the 14.4v version extensively, it just doesn't have the guts this one has. it has the speed to drill holes quickly, and the torque neccessary to break loose rusty screws (among other things). The wide range of torgue settings is also nice. Perhaps the best thing about it though, is the pistol-grip. It's getting harder and harder to find cordless drills with this style of grip, and 'T' Grips just don't cut it. Every time someone says that a T-grip drill is better then a pistol grip, I have to laugh. There is a good reason that serious drills (screw shooters, hammer drills, etc) have pistol grips. They let you put all your force directly in line with the bit, reducing broken bits and camed out screws. Yes, this drill does get a bit heavy after a while. If you're using a drill continuously for a long time, you should be using a corded drill anyway, so I don't really consider it a downside. Finally, the battery life on this thing is awesome. It lasts nearly twice as long as the old 14.4v batteries.

Now for the downsides:
This may seem minor, but the case it comes in has little room for bits and such. The case itself is the same size as the one for the 14.4v, but they pack 2 larger batteries, and a larger drill (yes, this drill itself is somewhat larger then the 14.4v...this is no drill to use in tight spaces) into it. The last 2 downsides aren't so much downsides, as useless 'features'. The highest speed on this isn't signifigantly faster then the middle speed, but uses quite a bit more power. Finally, the 'hammer-drill' function is a complete joke. You can drill a whole just as fast simply by locking up the clutch and using a masonary bit.
