Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT DW959K-2R 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

From the Manufacturer

This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new condition. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes. Weighing in at just 5.2 pounds and muscling out an impressive 400 in-lbs of maximum torque, DeWalt's 18-volt compact drill knocks out big jobs in seconds without tweaking your wrists. This powerful and lightweight wonder features a reverse switch right above the curved trigger for on-the-fly access. A 1/2-inch chuck grips beefy bits tight, while an 18-position adjustable clutch and high-performance motor deliver plenty of torque for any application. Dual variable speed ranges from 0-450 and 0-1,500 rpm make it easy to match drill speed to the task at hand. On-board bit storage keeps bits close at hand for quick access, faster bit changes, and less downtime. A keyless ratcheting lets you swap bits fast. And, all-metal planetary gears offer increased speed and durability. Your purchase includes two batteries, and a hard case.

One of the top tools in the DIY market; it is not a disappointment. DeWalt commands a premium price and even these reconditioned units are pricy. But the tool delivers on all the promises.The only drawback for me is the reversing switch. It is easily placed in a neutral position and doesn't seem to have a positive enough detent in either forward or reverse.

Purchased a Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT DW959K-2R 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit. It is a great buy for the price it was listed. 60% off a brand new one but it works as great as a new drill. Great savings, fast shipping!

Have to agree with the comment that the reverse switch sometimes goes to neutral instead of where you want it. Except for this, what you have here is a typical DeWalt tool: a professional-grade, well-made, powerful workhorse you will find yourself using constantly. Pricey, but buy with confidence . . . and use DeWalt drill bits to maintain the integrity of the tool.
