The DeWalt hammer drill/driver has a high-efficiency DeWalt-built motor that's capable of delivering 510 unit watts of maximum power for superior performance. And to keep it all running at top-capacity, this drill/driver is powered by an 18-volt XRP extended run-time battery that's designed for steady, reliable use and long life that won't waver mid-task.
The DC925 comes ready to get down to business, with a patented 3-speed, all-metal transmission that lets you easily match the tool's speed to any application. It also features a heavy-duty 1/2-inch, self-tightening chuck that tightens while you work, for impressive bit-gripping torque that never slips or fails. No matter the project, this hammer drill's superior ergonomics are styled to optimize balance, size, and weight -- so it's easy to hold and simple to handle, giving you unparalleled precision on the job. And because it sets a priority on convenience, the DC925KA is built to store standard nut drivers and a variety of screwdriving bit tips right on-board.
This hammer drill/driver boasts three speed settings: 0-450 rpm, 0-1,500 rpm, and 0-2,000 rpm; and it allows for three blow speed settings, too: 0-7,650 bpm, 0-25,500 bpm, and 0-34,000 bpm. It also offers 22 clutch settings and a 1/2-inch, self-tightening chuck. DC925KA weighs only 6.1 pounds and includes a 1-hour charger, two 18-volt XRP batteries, a 360-degree side handle, and a heavy-duty kit box.

DEWALT DOES IT AGAIN!
THIS IS A SPECTACULAR DRILL AND KIT. DEWALT STAYS CONSISTENT AS ALWAYS PROVIDING THE "CREME OF THE CROP" OF ALL DRILLS WITH THE DC925. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND IS A SUPERB DRILL BY FAR. A MUST BUY!

My drill took a little swim
One day at the job site, a coworker informed me that he owed me a new drill. Curious, I asked "Why"? He told me that he had accidentally dropped my Dewalt drill/driver into a water filled catch basin and it was still in there.
I ran over to where the catch basin was, saw my drill down in the murky depths, and went in head first to retrieve it. Retrieving the drill was easy enough, but extracting myself from the deep and narrow catch basin, with one hand on my drill, my feet in the air and my head pointing towards China, was proving to be a bit more difficult. Fortunately for me, the fellow who dropped the drill in the catch basin in the first place, Big John, happened to be a 6'6" giant and was able to pull me out by my ankles.
After taking a moment to remind myself to always have an exit strategy in any future power tool rescue attempts (lest there be no around to yank on my ankles) I took my waterlogged drill and ran over to my car. I disconnected the battery from the drill, put both pieces on top of the defrost vents on my dash board, and cranked the defrost on full blast for about half an hour (I had the temperature set on low so that the battery wouldn't explode).
Well, as you may have guessed from my 5-star rating, the Dewalt worked perfectly after that episode, and still works perfectly today, three years later. The water episode, in and of itself, isn't enough to rate 5 stars; it is all the use, abuse, and neglect that the drill endures that really impresses me. I use larger spade and auger bits than it is rated for when there are no corded drills around. I have mixed drywall mud with it, drilled lots of holes in concrete (again with larger bits than what it is rated for), drilled holes in steel and stainless steel, and driven lag bolts. It typically lives on the job site floor several days out of the week. I would say that Dewalt hit the nail on the head when they designed this product, but that doesn't seem a fitting metaphor for a drill, does it?
There are several companies that make a great hammer drill/driver, and I can't say which is really the best. What I can say is that I never feel regret at buying this Dewalt, or look at another company's 18 volt drill and wish that I had bought that brand instead. I am completely satisfied with this product.

power house
The dewalt dc925ka is an arm breaking powerhouse,This drill can power thru just about anythinjg you can throw at it.the self tighting chuck works almost too well, (I drilled out a lock with 1/2 in bit and almost could'nt get the bit out) Just a little on the heavy side

Power and then some
Pro's - Unbelievable torque! Make sure your work is secure and that you have a good grip; if a bit locks into your work (especially steel), you're in for a ride. Good adjustments for different work. I don't use the hammer feature often so I can't speak on that.
Con's - A bulldog (heavy). Not the best for working overhead or arms out horizontal for long periods of time. I have lighter drills if I need them but they don't drive or drill nearly as well.
Overview: I have several different brand 18V drills, some are very good but I dedicated myself to Dewalt 18V tools. I currently have 11 different Dewalt tools (and I don't have them all) that operate off the same battery platform...no other manufacture offers that.

Powerful but a bit confusing
I bought this drill to replace my 15 year old trusty Makita 12volt cordless. For outright raw power I think it's great. If you're out there driving a single size screw or drilling through just about anything, it will do a good job. With adjustments for clutch, speed, and (confusing) a feature for screwing or drilling or hamerdrilling, it is versatile, no doubt. However, that's where my praises end. First, it is heavy....not a big thing if you're drilling or screwing straight down. My job, as a garage cabinet installer, calls for veried angles, however, and it can be cumbersome. The other gripe I have is that I have to make sure I have all three adjustments correct if I switch from a 3" screw to a 3/8" drill bit. Personally, I'd buy the Makita again if I had it to do all over again.

The dinosaur has been replaced
Makita makes the BHP451 18 volt hammerdrill which weighs over a pound less than the Dewalt monster and comes with the newer, longer lasting Lithium-ion 3 amp/hour batteries and has more torque. And you can get the Makita at Ebay delivered for about $60 less. Why pay more for more weight, less battery, and less power? I've been a DeWalt cabinet maker for many years, but the time has come to change.

Too much drill - Not enough driver
I used my old DW955 for all-around construction. That drill had only 2 speeds slow for setting screws and faster for drilling. It started to intermittently quit on me after several years usage.
I bought a new DC925KA as a replacement. I won't use the hammer drill function everyday but for a few bucks more it was worth the "insurance" if and when I needed it.
This unit on slow speed HAS NO CLUTCH. Almost useless as a driver.
The other 2 speeds (which for my money are insignificantly different) both offer the clutch.
Lots a power for drilling though.
If your main usage for this tool is 50% drilling and 50% setting screws your wasting your money.
Also when shifting from 1 speed to another be prepared to get it into the next gear with a small amount of power. Almost like double clutching for you old stick shift guys.
I'm getting my DW955 repaired and you may find my DC925 on eBay.

Drill on steriods
I also have a regular Dewalt 18v cordless drill. The 925 is like my other one on steriods. The "heavy duty" notation is correct. This one is a beast. I love it.
