Amazon.com Review
Delivering solid performance and serious convenience, DeWalt's heavy-duty, 18-volt, 1/2-inch drill/driver/hammer drill will do up to 2,000 rpm and 34,000 beats per minute, and can produce 450 inch-pounds of maximum sustained torque. The carbide-tipped chuck jaws have excellent bit grip. There's also an automatic spindle lock, as well as an antislip comfort grip. Essentially the same tool as DeWalt's T-grip DW988, this hammer drill comes with a pistol grip, which some users prefer because it makes it easy to put your full force directly behind the bit. A pistol grip, however, doesn't distribute weight as evenly as a T-grip, so it's not as comfortable to hold, especially over long periods of time. --Jonathon Tudor

5.0 out of 5 stars Contracter tough cordless drill, December 30, 2003
This review is from: DEWALT DW989K-2 18 Volt XRP 1/2-Inch Drill/Driver/Hammerdrill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
First I'll highlight my experience to lend weight to my review. I am a serious DIY'er who occasional does side jobs on my own, and who often gets calls from contracters when they need a hand on a weekend job(My day job is in computers, I'm so ashamed!!).

This drill is a little different than most drills on the market because of its pistol grip design, but don't let that scare you off. That pistol grip lets you apply an incredible amount of pressure directly behind the bit your using. It does take some getting used to, but once you figure out that your index finger and thumb fit perfectly in the two groves along the top of the drill you'll love it. This drill excels for working above your head or below your feet but is very usable in the horizontal plane.

Pros:
1. Monster single sleeve racheting chuck is a joy to use, with the spindle lock it is hands down the best chuck on the market
2. 3 speeds is useful as hell. 1 for driving big screws/self feed bits, 2 for...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Drill!, September 4, 2003

Ken (Omaha, NE United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DEWALT DW989K-2 18 Volt XRP 1/2-Inch Drill/Driver/Hammerdrill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
Good drill indicative of DeWALTS better tools. Very nice combo kit! The pistol grip has the added advantage of being able to apply more force through the bit into the work. This drill has plenty of torque for just about any job and the battery run/charge time ranges from good to great. It's probably easier just to list a couple of improvement areas (nonimpacting overall):
1) The speed range selecting switch needs to be persuaded on occasion to change position.
2) The torque clutch works better on the second and third speed range.
3) The chuck's run out could be a little better, although there is no impact from this when drilling.

All and all this is a great drill package! I'm very happy with my purchase!!
