This is the drill you want if you never want to steal another drill of this size and power again. Provided you don't care that it may be a minute banged up (witch it will become if you do "really utilize it") . This drill plot and case easily retailed over $250. The hammer setting is perfect for making diminutive holes (say 1/4" or less) in masonry for anchors or drilling puny to medium size holes for what ever reason in hard materials (having a bit centered and for a high blows per diminutive drill helps too!) . This drill can easily perform 5/8 holes in 1/2 wafer board and 2/4's with a (provocative) auger bit no plight . It has plenty of torque and (with the XRP bat) battery life for anything you logically judge it would handle. 3 speeds to let you fool around with how posthaste you want to go. It can handle brick dust and being dropped on the ground as well as hanging on a ladder from the chuck. I have seen this particular dewalt drill situation (and the one without a hammer setting) former consume many in the construction field.
This is a gargantuan deal and should not be passed up for someone who needs to pick a safe quality light-heavyduty drill once.
I frail my veteran DW955 for all-around construction. That drill had only 2 speeds stupid for setting screws and faster for drilling. It started to intermittently stop on me after several years usage.
I bought a fresh DC925KA as a replacement. I won't employ 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 stupid urge 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 race to another be prepared to find it into the next gear with a itsy-bitsy amount of power. Almost like double clutching for you extinct stick shift guys.
I'm getting my DW955 repaired and you may net my DC925 on eBay.
One day at the job spot, a coworker informed me that he owed me a fresh drill. Exciting, I asked "Why"? He told me that he had accidentally dropped my Dewalt drill/driver into a water filled accumulate basin and it was serene in there.
I ran over to where the score basin was, saw my drill down in the dim depths, and went in head first to retrieve it. Retrieving the drill was easy enough, but extracting myself from the deep and narrow find 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 net basin in the first position, Substantial 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, set both pieces on top of the defrost vents on my streak board, and cranked the defrost on stout blast for about half an hour (I had the temperature station on outrageous 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 unexcited works perfectly today, three years later. The water episode, in and of itself, isn't enough to rate 5 stars; it is all the exercise, abuse, and neglect that the drill endures that really impresses me. I employ 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 promenade bolts. It typically lives on the job area 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 do a spacious 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 glimpse at another company's 18 volt drill and wish that I had bought that tag instead. I am completely gay with this product.
