DeWalt DCD970KL


$350.00 Released January, 2008

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Very high power and torque, rarely runs into problems. Battery doesn't "fade out", so power is always sufficient until it is totally dead. Well-balanced feel.

The Cons:Cannot use a screw guide. Somewhat pricey. Heavy, though this may be necessary for the power.

The DeWalt DCD970KL is an 18V 1/2" XRP Lilon Hammerdrill. It is considered the best in its class length for balance and control. The hammerdrill uses two XRP nano phosphate Li-Ion batteries that have an extended run-time and battery length.

The hammerdrill comes with a 3-speed, all-metal transmission that is perfect for matching the speed of the drill to the task at hand.
