DeWalt Heavy Duty XRP 1/2-Inch (13mm) 18V Cordless Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver Kit DC989KA
Date Published: 6/9/06
DeWalt's 1/2-inch, 18-volt cordless hammer drill combines power and finesse in its DC989KA model.
On the one hand, a high-torque motor delivers up to 500 inch/pounds of torque and up to 34,000 beats per minute (bpm). It dispatches tough masonery-drilling jobs without skipping a beat. On the other hand, the tool has three speed ranges as opposed to the normal two, and a 22-position clutch. Bore holes that demand high torque at low or high speeds. Or dial down the torque for delicate driving operations.
In addition, the DC989KA comes with two extended run-time, long-life batteries. Recharge time is one hour. It also has a single-sleeve ratcheting chuck with carbide jaws. The spindle-lock is automatic. All of this with a tool that tips the scales at just less than 6 pounds. You also get DeWalt's 3-year limited warranty, a 1-year free service contract, and a heavy-duty kit box with this tool.
All of this adds up to the fact that the DeWalt DC989KA displays impressive versatility.
