DEWALT DCD940KX Heavy Duty 18V XRP 1/2-Inch Drill/Driver Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this drill over the DC720KA and wow, this is an insane drill. When you pick this thing up, you know you are holding onto something extremely tough and robust. The business end is all steel, the chuck is all steel, and it has two clutch rings, so you can switch from drill mode to driver mode without having to run all the way through the clutch.The 3 speed transmission is all metal and it changes with a nice solid click, I have used so many other drills with 2 and 3 speed transmissions and sometimes the only way to make them change is to squeeze the trigger a little while changing - this drill has none of that - just a solid click.

Pull the trigger and you realize just how powerful this thing is, I have used it a lot with #12 2.5" screws into studs with no pilot holes while installing shelving (which is how I killed my trusty 18v Black & Decker) and this drill just drives them home effortlessly.I am using it with the XRP NiCd batteries, although this drill has the smaller base for the Lithium Ion batteries, but that is just because I have NiCd batteries.I may buy a Lithium Ion battery when one of my NiCd batteries dies, but for now, they work great.

If you are looking for the ultimate solid 18V Cordless drill, this is it, if you want a hammer function as well, then go for the DCD950KX same drill with a hammer function.

After writing all of this, I am still considering selling this drill and getting a DC720KA as I feel the more compact drill would be more suitable for my use.This is a monster, and I really will not do it justice in the way I work, so I really just want something lighter and smaller.
