Description of DEWALT DC989KA 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver Kit with Pistol Grip
This one ought to come with a seat belt?wait till you feel the power of 500 inch-pounds of torque in this beautifully balanced drill. With a max torque like that, no job is too tough, but combine that with DeWalt's impressive 34,000 blows per minute in hammerdrill mode and a max third-gear speed of 2,000 rpm, and you've got all the power you'll need for drilling into just about anything, from wood to steel and masonry. Nice carbide jaws in the keyless chuck really hang onto the bit. These extended run batteries give you not just a longer runtime, but they last longer than standard batteries. We like the attention DeWalt gave to ergonomics on this drill; any 18-volt is no lightweight, but the balance of this tool and the well-designed pistol grip make it feel lighter than its actual weight. The grip is great, and the auxiliary handle is a cinch to adjust to any angle. This drill is a pleasure to use. --Kris Jensen-Van HesteTools and Hardware Reviews of DEWALT DC989KA 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver Kit with Pistol Grip
Customer Review: Great Drill
Summary: 5 Stars
This has been a great drill for me and has proven itself over a period of 4 years with almost weekly use. I have to drill a lot of holes in all different types of material ranging from wood to metal and have never had a problem with the exception of battery. I am now coming to a hard decision of buying a different drill or buying a different type of battery since everyone is going to lithium-ion batteries. DeWALT has a nano battery able to fit this drill but with no new pistol grip design yet it is hard to say which would be better buying a new drill or buying a new battery. For now I will most likely go w/the new battery due to my fondness of the pistol due to the advantages one receive with this drill.
Advantages: You are able to use both hands in the same manner as a corded drill.
You have further reach before you have to apply an extinction.
It is easier to keep the drill level and you do not have to be right on top of what you are drilling
(A big plus if you are in need of seeing what you are doing while you are drilling)
Cons: Do not know how much longer the battery is going to stay the same for new models.
If you are in need of setting the drill down on its battery do not get a pistol grip go w/a standard
cordless.
This has been a great drill and I hope DeWALT never stops making them.
