DEWALT DW983KS-2 14.4 Volt XRP 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver and 5-3/8-Inch Saw Combo Kit

by DEWALT

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The DeWalt DW983KS-2 combo kit contains two indispensable tools for any tool chest--a 1/2-inch drill/driver and a 5-3/8-inch trim saw. Built to handle virtually any application, both the drill/driver and trim saw utilize DeWalt's 14.4-volt XR battery packs. A DeWalt exclusive, the system combines unbeatable power with extended run time between charges. The trim saw weighs just 6-3/4 pounds, delivers 3,000 rpm, cuts to a depth of 1-1/2 inches, and provides a 0 to 50 degree bevel capacity. The drill/driver is also lightweight at 5.2 pounds, and offers three speeds--low, for maximum torque (400 in./lbs.); medium, for standard jobs; and high, for jobs that require a little extra speed (reaching up to 1,800 rpm, it's up to 29 percent faster than comparable models). In addition to both of these powerful tools, the DW983KS-2 kit also includes a carbide blade, two XR batteries, a one-hour charger, a double-ended screwdriver bit, and a convenient carrying case, not to mention the peace of mind that comes with the DeWalt name. --Carl Thress

I'm a carpenter - visited many job sites and worked with lots of other guy's tools too. This size seems to be the best for hauling up and down ladders - in/out basements,crawlspaces, attics....some of the bigger ones get too big!

Had a lot of trouble finding a combo kit that was reasonably priced. I got it the week of Christmas and they were going very fast.

I have a lot of tools (tool junkie)and these are well made. Charger worked faster than advertised. As is almost always the case, I will probably buy a better blade. I would imagine a thin kerf blade would do wonders. Even so, it works extremely well as is. Would not hesitate to buy again.

I purchased this product after using a friends combo kit. I love the new updates to the drill and feel it makes it a much better product because of the flexibility it now offers. The saw was the big selling point because of its weight and cutting depth. I was also very impressed with the price.
