The Dewalt DW960K-2 is a cordless right angle drill powered by an 18 volt NI Cad battery. The Nickel cadmium batteries provide great power and are a fast recharge however they lack the "charge anytime" capability of the Lithium Ion battery packs. To extend the life of a NI Cad battery it should be fully discharged before recharging.
This isn't a drill that you are going to use every day but if you are a construction professional this is a tool that when needed is practically essential. If you are drilling a 4 inch hole in timbers you will need your hole hawg but there are places where a hole hawg just wont go and you don't want you or your help to be struggling and wasting precious time trying to fit a drill into a place where it was never intended or designed to go.This neat drill is designed to fit into tight spaces while providing power and performance.
Dewalt 18 Volt Cordless
This tool comes with a 3/8 inch chuck as standard, however I would recommend that you replace it with a 1/2inch chuck. Dewalt should take note and supply this drill with a 1/2 inch chuck as standard. A tip for shopping this drill is that it comes form most online outlets with two batteries as standard while in most stores it only comes with one battery. So when doing price comparisons remember to check for the batteries. The 2 in the serial signifies 2 batteries.
The Dewalt DW960K-2 cordless is just as capable of drilling 3 inch holes in joisting as 3/4 inch holes for water pipe under a sink in a kitchen cabinet. It is so easy to handle weighing in at less than 10 pounds and grinding out 300 inch/pounds of torque in low speed mode with a handy variable speed trigger and available reverse mode.
The battery pack is interchangeable with all other Dewalt 18 vole Ni Cad powered tools.
