Amazon.com Product Description

The DeWalt DC988ZA Heavy Duty 18-Volt XRP 1/2-Inch Hammerdrill/Driver with Cut-Out Tool gives you two 18-volt cordless tools for about the cost of one. This combo kit features the DC988 18-Volt XRP 1/2-inch hammerdrill/driver, which uses a DeWalt high-torque, high-efficiency motor to deliver 500 in./lbs. of torque for drilling large diameter holes and driving large screws. The drill comes equipped with a patented 3-speed transmission which allows the drill to be set at the optimum speed range for the application being performed. The DC988 has a maximum speed of 2,000 RPM, and it has a maximum BPM speed of 34,000 BPM to allow for high performance drilling in masonry applications. The DeWalt DC988ZA features a 1/2-inch all metal ratcheting chuck with carbide jaws to prevent bit slippage and fall out, and a dust-sealed switch for durability and a long switch life. The drill is powered-by-an XRP extended run-time battery that gives the drill long run-time and battery life.

I have used Dewalt 18V tools for years, but I was quite suprised at the usefulness of the cut out tool, it was invaluable on a recent project.
The hammer drill is second to none!

This review is from: DEWALT DC988ZA Heavy Duty 18-Volt XRP 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill/Drill/Driver with Cut-Out Tool (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this item because i needed two more 18v batteries and it is a better deal to get two tools with the batteries instead of buying the batteries separately, it works out to spending $50 and getting a second hammer drill and cut out tool. The hammer drill is great I now have two. it is a bit heavy so expect your wrist to give out after a long day. Also the drill has more kickback and recoil then it should. I'm a bit dissatisfied with the cut out tool, there is no variable speed control, and the tool is physically large so it not good for detailed work.

The tools are great! The service from Amazon is by far the worst you will ever experience in YOUR LIFE!!! AMAZON STILL OWES ME OVER $500.00 and if I cannot get it back to my credit card I will have to sew the company!
