The DW984 14.4-volt 1/2-inch mid-handle adjustable-clutch drill/driver/hammerdrill uses a DeWalt-built high-torque motor to deliver 400 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. Ideal for jobs that previously required the high speed, the MAX third speed is noticeably faster for wood and metal screwdriving and drilling, and especially for hammerdrilling into masonry, where the MAX speed drills holes up to 33 percent faster. The bpm range on the MAX third speed setting ranges from 0 to 30,600. The DW984 features a 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck lock with carbide jaws 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 anti-slip comfort grip to reduce user fatigue. The DW984K-2 includes the drill/driver/hammerdrill, one-hour charger, two XR batteries, double-ended screwdriver bit, and carrying case. Features
