Fast, Powerful Hammerdrill with Three-Speed Transmission
Built to deliver fast, dependable results, the DCD970 XRP 18-Volt Cordless Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver offers 450 unit watts out for effective drilling and fastening in a wide variety of materials. Its patented, three-speed, all-metal transmission matches the drill's performance to the task at hand, resulting in quicker completion of stubborn jobs, along with improved run time and reduced wear and tear on the tool's motor.

This tool also offers a heavy-duty, 1/2-inch, self-tightening chuck with bit-gripping strength. When placed in hammerdrill mode, the tool delivers 8,500 to 34,000 beats per minute for making holes in masonry. In addition, an L.E.D. work light near the trigger provides increased visibility when you're working in dark or confined spaces, and the tool's well-balanced body and mid-handle, comfortable grip help keep you in control at all times.

Compact, Heavy-Duty Impact Driver
The DC825 18-Volt Impact Driver is capable of delivering 1,330 inch-pounds of torque for superb performance in a wide range of fastening applications. Its variable-speed trigger allows you to move between speeds ranging from 0 to 2,400 rpm and to deliver 0 to 2,700 impacts per minute for quick, results with minimum effort pushing in the fastener as it sinks into the material.

In addition, this impact driver's frameless motor features replaceable brushes for improved durability and extended tool life. A durable, magnesium gear case and an all-metal transmission also contribute to the tool's exceptional durability. And the driver's heavy-duty impact mechanism directs torque to the fastener without causing the reactionary torque kickback seen when using a drill. This protects you, your tool, and your work.

Trademarked XRP Extended-Life Battery System
Two XRP Lithium Ion extended run-time batteries keep all of these tools running at optimum levels. They provide up to 40 percent more run time than standard batteries and over 2000 cycles for nearly 2-1/2 times the life of traditional nickel-cadmium batteries. Any XRP battery can be used with any 18-volt DEWALT tool, which allows you to expand your system by adding other DEWALT cordless tools (sold separately) as the demands of your job grow. In addition, the one-hour Lithium Ion charger helps maintain power to your packs all day long.

This 18-Volt XRP Lithium Ion Hammerdrill/Reciprocating Saw Combo Kit comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money back guarantee.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2 great drills., September 2, 2010

I made this purchase 5 months ago; Awesome buy. Both units have surpassed my expectations. The hammerdrill's torque is awesome, great clutch and I can not say enough impressive comments about the battery and the chuck assembly. The settings are customizable in a logical and productive manner.

I think the Impact driver is just beautiful. It knows when and where to stop forcing the screw in like magic. Much better than my other XXXXXXX brand Impact driver.

Before buying this, my only concern was a comment I saw about the Nano batteries... there was a complaint about how the units stop working once the power is drained instead of just winding down gradually... well it turns out these batteries never go to Empty/Full on any charge/discharge cycle. That means, the battery decides to stop working once its charge depletes down to a certain mark (I don't know what). It does this for one reason... Longevity... it turns out this is one reason why these last 2000 charge cycles... while it would have been nice to have an indicator telling you how much charge you have left, I really don't see it as a deal breaker.

Great drills, I became a fan in no-time.

This review is from: DEWALT DCK275L 18-Volt XRP Lithium-Ion Drill/Impact Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

Bought this set to replace my 18v L-ion Makita impact/driver set I've worked hard for 3 years.
The impact driver is powerful with good variable speed trigger action. A bit more control than my Makita.
Also, the impact is a bit heaver than the Makita due the the metal internals and the larger battery pack, I'll likely purchase a set of "mini" batteries for applications where weight is an issue (did this with my Makita as well).
The hammer drill is too heavy for normal diver applications, but can be used that way occasionally.
I would have stayed with Makita, but they do not offer the battery powered tools I need for my business, and Dewalt does.
I'm happy with the set. I like that the bag it comes with has extra room for bits and adapters and such.

This review is from: DEWALT DCK275L 18-Volt XRP Lithium-Ion Drill/Impact Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I debated long and hard between the Bosch CLPK22-180 18-Volt 2-Tool Litheon Combo Kit, and this Combo pack.
I own tools from both companies.
My last Dewalt drill lasted me more than 10 years. The batteries finally died completely, and I thought I'd put whatever money it would cost for new batteries towards a whole new drill.
I read as much information about both drills, and searched for whatever reviews I could find.
I ended up buying the Bosch, and boy was that a mistake. The Bosch was Very slow (in comparison), no low end torque, short battery life, etc...
Very frustrating trying to accomplish the jobs I needed, that vary from drilling through different densities of wood, metal, plastic, holes in concrete walls, setting tons of screws, running a grinding attachment, etc...

I bought this Dewalt combo pack before returning the Bosch kit, and I couldn't be Happier with it. I could
Immediately feel the difference in Quality. Having both tools to do my own side by side tests proved the Dewalt far superior. No question. Dewalt is stronger, faster, overall more powerful, best chuck ever, smooth and with multiple speed settings, you get exactly what you need... An amazing tool that can do anything. I use my tools for all kinds of work, and can't have something that's going to give out when I need it most.
I feel silly for even thinking Bosch or anyone else could make a comparable drill.

My new batteries work in my old drill + circ saw, that still have plenty of life left in them, even after a decade of regular use.

I plan on adding to my Dewalt cordless set w/ additional bare tools. I think the cordless jigsaw & grinder are next on my tools to buy list.

-I hope this is helpful to anyone debating which combo pack to buy.
