Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The GMC A2G18V 2-Gear Hammerdrill is a powerful 18-volt cordless tool that provides extra torque, power, and durability for continuous drilling and screwdriving. Simple to use, this hammerdrill uses an auto spindle lock that permits the chuck to be tightened on bits using just one hand.


Cordless hammerdrill provides extra torque and power.


Two speed gearbox.


Battery indicator displays three levels of charge.
The 20-stage clutch allows precisely the right torque for repetitive screwdriving control, while the variable speed reversing permits the selection of the correct speed for each application, such as unjamming bits and removing screws. The two-speed gearbox also allows you to select just the right speed and torque for particular applications.

If speed is what you're looking for, then the A2G18V is all yours. This tool features a 1/2-inch single sleeve keyless chuck for fast, convenient bit changes without the cumbersome need for a chuck key. And a hammerdrill would not be complete without the powerful hammer action that is essential for drilling into materials such as concrete, brick, and masonry.

The GMC hammerdrill is designed with 360-degree adjustable side handle that allows two-handed operation in the most convenient position to suit the operator and the task. This tool works around you and your environment -- no matter how irregular the position or the application, the A2G18V will help you get it done fast and safely. The battery indicator displays three levels of charge, so you'll always know how much juice you've got left. Another nice feature is the built-in LED light. When working in poorly lit areas, you can use this light to illuminate your work area for improved vision and safety.

Durability is the name of the game with all the best tool manufacturers, and GMC keeps with the pace. Extensive rubber over-molding covers the hammerdrill's side handle, batter pack, trigger switch, and drill handle. This tool includes two batteries, which allows you to always have a back-up on hand for continuous use.


What's in the Box
GMC A2G18V 24-Volt 2Gear hammerdrill and two rechargeable batteries.

5.0 out of 5 stars great drill, January 1, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: GMC A2G 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
I am a trades electrician and I use cordless drills on a daily basis. Up till now my best half inch chuck hammer drill cordless was a Milwaukee drill. It is an excellant product ( no question about it).

After now purchasing this GMC Drill, I must say I am very impressed with this product. It performs extremely well under very hard work conditions, and holds up and does the job very nicely, in both drill mode as well as hammer drill mode. The one handed chuck is a very nice feature that my Milwaukee drill being older does not have, that is great.

This drill functionally, seems as strong as any of my other drills. Truthfully, I must state that my opinion about this product is that if I consider its functional capabilities weighed against its affordable price, I beleive this to be my most valuable cordless hammer drill.

I would recommend this drill to anyone who is wishing to purchase exceptional functional performance, yet still wishing to get the most performance for the best price. I am confident that others would be as impressed with the performance and price of this product as I am.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty darn impressed...., March 1, 2007

This review is from: GMC A2G 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
I own a LOT of power tools of various name brands. Rarely do I buy something that's somewhat 'generic', but for the price of a hair under thirty bucks how could I go wrong? The GMC drill arrived this morning, and I promptly charged a battery and then took it with me for a days work.

First off, it does not come off as a cheap drill to me. It feels weighty. Even the battery charger has a nice heft to it. The drill does have some rubber here and there, but that will keep it from scratching. The bottom of the batteries have rubber on them so that you're not scratching the batteries all up.

The clutch is a little less forgiving than my Bosch or Dewalt hammer drills in that the lowest settings still don't slip as easily as I'd like. However the drill has good power and runs smoothly. I bought it mainly to dedicate to my Kreg Pocket Screw system but it works so good that I may have to rethink that. I've felt cheap tools and this one does not come across as being cheap. The plastic case is a bit cheap but hey it's the case, not the tool.

I'm not sure if I'd pay full pop for a GMC drill, but for the price I got it for, it cannot be beat. I'm as picky as they come and this thing delivers. Hopefully it will last, but if not I'm not out much money. I normally don't write reviews, but the deal was so good that I just had to come here and perhaps gloat a little. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great hammer drill, Heavy duty with emphasis on HEAVY, November 10, 2006
By 
BigMutt (Mexico City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GMC A2G 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
We have many models and manufacturers of hammer drills among our workers' tools here in Mexico (where everything is cement and hammer drills are the only useful drill to have); this is one of the best. Rivals the DeWalt, Ryobi and Makita models we have, which are a lot more expensive.
Especially well made, although that means it's quite heavy.
The LED lights that shine onto the drilling spot is a nice touch.
