DeWalt's next generation of XRP heavy-duty cordless drills offers more torque, three speed settings, and a chuck with tighter bit grip. The DW980K-2 12-volt, 1/2-inch adjustable clutch drill/driver uses a DeWalt-built high-torque motor to deliver 350 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 29 percent faster, with a range of 0 to 1,800 rpm. The DW980K-2 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 two-times tighter, 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 anti-slip comfort grip to reduce user fatigue. The DW980K-2 includes the drill/driver, two XR batteries, one-hour charger, double-ended screwdriver bit, and carrying case. Features
