DEWALT DW987KS-2 18 Volt XRP 1/2-Inch Drill/Driver and 6-1/2-Inch Circular Saw Combo Kit

From the Manufacturer

The DW987KS-2 combo kit includes a drill/driver, 6-1/2-inch circular saw, carbide blade, rip fence, two XR+ batteries, one-hour charger, double-ended screwdriver bit, 360-degree side handle, and carrying case. DeWalt's next generation of XRP heavy-duty cordless drills provides more torque, three speed settings, and a chuck with tighter bit grip. The DW987 18-volt, 1/2-inch adjustable-clutch drill/driver uses a DeWalt-built high-torque motor to deliver 450 in./lbs. of torque for drilling bigger holes and driving bigger screws. Besides boosting torque, DeWalt is the first company to add a three-speed transmission that produces more rpm for faster drilling and driving applications. Low speed (first gear) and high speed (second gear) are similar to other cordless drills currently available. However, the new MAX third speed is 38 percent faster, with a range of 0 to 2,000 rpm. The DW987 features a 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck lock to keep a tighter grip on the bit. The ratcheting chuck lock consists of two elements: an automatic spindle lock that allows users to tighten down on the chuck twice as hard, and ratcheting action to prevent the chuck sleeve from loosening during the job. Other features include all-metal gearing and a metal gear case for durability, and an antislip comfort grip to reduce user fatigue. The DW939 circular saw has a 6-1/2-inch carbide blade to shred through 2-by-4s in a single pass or rip veneer. The blade is on the left side for maximum visibility and has a spindle lock for easy blade changes. A powerful 18-volt motor with replaceable brushes provides 350 watts of power and 3,700 rpm cutting speed to devour 35 feet of 1/2-inch plywood per minute. The shoe adjusts to bevel 50 degrees and the 6-1/2-inch blade allows the user to cut 2-by material at 45 degrees.
