DeWalt DC926KA description

DeWALT DC926KA Heavy-Duty XRP 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver Kit uses a DEWALT-built high-power, high-efficiency motor to deliver 510 unit watts out of power for maximum performance in all drilling and fastening applications. The XRP drill comes equipped with a patented 3-speed transmission that lets you set the speed to match the application for optimal performance. All XRP hammerdrills feature an exclusive 1/2-inch self-tightening chuck that tightens throughout the operation providing superior bit-gripping torque. This hammerdrill is powered by an XRP extended run-time battery that gives the drill long run-time and battery life. The DC926 is designed with a pistol grip handle to allow the user to hold the drill in line with the application being performed. XRP drills are built to allow for standard nut drivers and a variety of screwdriver bit tips to be stored on the tool. The DC926KA includes a hammerdrill/drill/driver, 2 XRP extended run-time batteries, 1-hour charger, 360-degree side handle, and a heavy duty molded plastic carrying case.

DeWalt DC926KA reviews

MUCH BETTER DRILL NOW
noticably more powerfull than the older version.
i'm not so sold on the pistol grip. its great when drilling down , but gets a bit heavy if screwing to walls such a s drywalling.
the new chuck is much easier to use.

best cordless I've ever used
I work construction for a living, doing a little bit of everything. One minute I'll be driving self taping screws into angle iron, the next I'll be punching holes in sheet-metal. And that's before lunch. This drill is awesome. I've used the 14.4v version extensively, it just doesn't have the guts this one has. it has the speed to drill holes quickly, and the torque neccessary to break loose rusty screws (among other things). The wide range of torgue settings is also nice. Perhaps the best thing about it though, is the pistol-grip. It's getting harder and harder to find cordless drills with this style of grip, and 'T' Grips just don't cut it. Every time someone says that a T-grip drill is better then a pistol grip, I have to laugh. There is a good reason that serious drills (screw shooters, hammer drills, etc) have pistol grips. They let you put all your force directly in line with the bit, reducing broken bits and camed out screws. Yes, this drill does get a bit heavy after a while. If you're using a drill continuously for a long time, you should be using a corded drill anyway, so I don't really consider it a downside. Finally, the battery life on this thing is awesome. It lasts nearly twice as long as the old 14.4v batteries.

Now for the downsides:
This may seem minor, but the case it comes in has little room for bits and such. The case itself is the same size as the one for the 14.4v, but they pack 2 larger batteries, and a larger drill (yes, this drill itself is somewhat larger then the 14.4v...this is no drill to use in tight spaces) into it. The last 2 downsides aren't so much downsides, as useless 'features'. The highest speed on this isn't signifigantly faster then the middle speed, but uses quite a bit more power. Finally, the 'hammer-drill' function is a complete joke. You can drill a whole just as fast simply by locking up the clutch and using a masonary bit.
