Description of DEWALT DW988KS-2 18-Volt XRP 1/2-Inch Drill/Driver/Hammerdrill and 6-1/2-Inch Circular Saw Combo Kit
This do-everything combo kit is perfect for any contractor, handyman or do-it-yourselfer, with two of the most-used tools in one kit.Convenience is the name of this cordless circular saw. This 18-volt, 6-1/2-inch model has everything the corded guys have, minus the hassle of an extension cord. It?s not even much heavier than its corded colleagues, even with the 18-volt battery attached. At a 45-degree bevel (it?s capable of 50 degrees), you can easily cut a 2-by-4, and it?s powerful enough to plow through 35 feet of half-inch plywood in 60 seconds. The blade?s on the left, which offers perfect cut-line visibility for right-handers, and changing the blade is a smooth, easy process, because the shaft lock engages nicely and the hex key stores right on board the saw.
This is a hardworking brute of a hammerdrill that handles and balances beautifully and packs a patented three-speed transmission that gets you from 0 to 2,000 rpm in drill mode and 0 to 34,000 blows per minute in hammer mode. The half-inch Rohm chuck grabs the bit with carbide jaws and centers it quickly, then locks it in place with its ratcheting system. We were pleasantly surprised at how very little vibration is felt, even at max. The 360-degree handle is a nice feature that adds perfect control, and we found the fit and finish of the whole drill just superb.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Customer Review: Can't do without it!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for a package that can do it all this is the one for you. The battery life is great considering the power it puts out. This is not a toy but rather a very serious tool. You probably can spend less but you truly get what you pay for in this little black box. The hammerdrill capability is wonderful and I was a bit sceptic that I could actually have a cordless masonry tool that actually can do the job. The chuck tightens the bits with more power than I have ever seen. The bit never slips even in tough situations. Dewalt is a great name and they have raised the mark with this tool. It has enough power for the tough jobs without the big weight of going 24v.
