This is easily one of the most powerful hammer drills on the market, packing 500 inch-pounds of torque and tackling the largest holes and heaviest screws. Whether you're going into studs or concrete, you'll appreciate the patented three-speed transmission that delivers an amazing 2,000 rpm at its max. In hammerdrill mode, get ready to be impressed with the speed you drill into concrete and other masonry at 34,000 blows per minute. Every inch of this tool is quality, from the ½-inch metal ratcheting chuck and its carbide jaws to the super-comfortable grip and beefy extended-life XRP 18-volt battery. Balance in hand is awesome, and the 360-degree auxiliary handle adjusts easily to just the right position. Similarly, the impact driver is incredibly powerful for its size, making short work of everything we challenged it with. Kickback is minimal. And like the hammerdrill in this sweet package deal, it's all quality: rugged magnesium gear case, all-metal transmission and quick-release chuck, grippy wrap-around rubber molding for super control. And yeah, we admit it, we love the contractor's bag, too.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

(I hadn't seen it on Amazon at that time, and I needed it *now* - but it would have been a better buy on Amazon if I could have spared a couple of days.)
The DC988KA hammer drill is great, and I've reviewed that separately. Great torque - it feels like it has more than either of my two aging corded drills! Take some time to practice with it if this is your first cordless drill. I found it had enough power to strip Phillips heads until I learned how to regulate it better. The temptation with the hammer drill is to use it for *everything*, but there are some jobs for which the impact driver will just be a better choice. I haven't tried taking off auto wheels with it yet, but it looks like it will handle it. This kit includes a contractor bag which is fairly roomy, with six open outside compartments and an inner elastic one. I was initially disappointed, since I prefer metal cases, but this...Read more 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: Impact driver a winner, This review is from: DEWALT DC988IA Heavy Duty XRP 18-Volt Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit, includes Hammer Drill and Impact Driver (Tools & Home Improvement) I have been using the 18v dewalt hammer drill since it came out on the market, and even though this is my 3rd one, will continue to use them. It got daily use on the jobsite until I bought this combo...
The impact driver is fantastic!! Will drive a 4 1/2" deck screw through 2 2x4's and then bury the head, no problem. The drill now sits in the bag more days than not, and only gets used for it's intended purpose, drilling. This kit ought to extend the life of both tools, as I use them anyway, and for about the same price as it would have cost me to buy just the drill. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Good Deal?, By Call Me Mom (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews This review is from: DEWALT DC988IA Heavy Duty XRP 18-Volt Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit, includes Hammer Drill and Impact Driver (Tools & Home Improvement) This kit is offered at the suggested special pricing by DEWALT. With the shipping, it actually cost more than the local Home Depot sold them for, including taxes. But the Depot no longer can get this combo kit. So the selling point isn't the "special" price, but the special availability. Shipping was via USPS, with no choice for other carriers. That means tracking isn't practical. The kit arrived in a reasonable time. I would buy from this seller again. The hammerdrill and impact driver are the best: light, powerful, comfortable in the hand; batteries charge quickly and are so light! How nice not to have to switch between a drill bit and a driver bit in the same drill over and over again! |
