DeWalt DC988KA
$300.00
Released January, 2004
The Pros:Plenty of power, good for working with harder surfaces. Reliable operation is the same every time you pick it up, even when the battery is getting a little low. Ergonomic design makes it easy to hold steady.
The Cons:Priced a little high, not worth it if you'll only be using it occasionally - better off getting the corded version. Replacement batteries are expensive and will need to be purchased within 2 years at the most.
The DeWalt DC988KA is a heavy-duty 1/2" 18V cordless hammerdrill that comes with a nice 360 degree side handle that is great for long term use of the product. The hammerdrill mode delivers 34,000 bpm.
