Factory Reconditioned DEWALT DW988K-2R 18-Volt XRP 1/2-Inch Drill/Driver/Hammer Drill Kit

Works okay for a reconditioned Dewalt. Some dimunition of power on constant drilling projects, which was unexpected. Still better than a new drill of another brand.

I have owned this drill for 4 years now and it is by far the best dril lI've ever held in my hand. This drill will turn through anytthing and drive any screw you can manage to hold the drill against. I even drove 7/16" lag bolts (predrilled 1/4" hole) 3 inches into a stid and only had to turn them 1/2" more by socket to finish the job. I used this drill to turn over a 2 cylider four wheeler motor to see if the rectifier was working. I will upgrade to DeWalt's Lithium Battery to make the drill even better. I will only buy DeWalt from now on when it comes to cordless tools.

Bought a 129.00 refurb, works and looks like new. This one has the metal casing and three speeds, and it's a definite improvement over the older two speed style, although I like the 2-speeds German-made chuck better.

I don't use it too much, as it's a heavy wrist breaker, choosing my 9.6v and 14.4 tools for simple wood drilling, and my impact driver for screws. But when you want to use a hole saw on a door, or drill in a few holes for tapcons, works like a champ.

The batteries are the only weak point, the newer li-on and nimh are superior technologies, just add more cash.

We picked this up because the price was so attractive, $68 shipped. Yes it was reconditioned but the one we received looked brand new. It works just great, battery holds a good charge which leads us to believe it too was new. This is a very powerful unit and has come in handy for this summers home renovations. Keep an eye on the price as it does fluctuate quite a bit.

I bought this for my husband for his birthday. When it arrived, you couldn't even tell that it was reconditioned, not a scratch on it. The drill works perfectly and he is very happy with his new drill.
