This is easily one of the most powerful hammer drills on the market, packing 500 inch-pounds of torque and tackling the largest holes and heaviest screws. Whether you're going into studs or concrete, you'll appreciate the patented three-speed transmission that delivers an amazing 2,000 rpm at its max. In hammerdrill mode, get ready to be impressed with the speed you drill into concrete and other masonry at 34,000 blows per minute. Every inch of this tool is quality, from the -inch metal ratcheting chuck and its carbide jaws to the super-comfortable grip and beefy extended-life XRP 18-volt battery. Balance in hand is awesome, and the 360-degree auxiliary handle adjusts easily to just the right position. Similarly, the impact driver is incredibly powerful for its size, making short work of everything we challenged it with. Kickback is minimal. And like the hammerdrill in this sweet package deal, it's all quality: rugged magnesium gear case, all-metal transmission and quick-release chuck, grippy wrap-around rubber molding for super control. And yeah, we admit it, we love the contractor's bag, too.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

excellent value January 21, 2008

I've never had an impact driver before, ahd have found that it is even more useful than the drill. The batteries last a long time between charges, and the units are very powerful. It's much less expensive to buy them through Amazon than at Home Depot.
great price on this kit November 3, 2007

You are living in the dark ages if you are not using an impact driver for sinking all screws. We finished building the concrete forms for a shop & house using 3" galvanized deck screws. The 18v impact driver can sink 4 screws in the time it takes the 18v drill to sink 1. We are also using 6" timberlock screws on this project and it is amazing how fast the impact driver can run them in. Buy an impact driver - your clients will thank you for the reduced billing time on all of your jobs.
Power and speed September 30, 2007

This power pack of two drills was recommended to me at a lumber yard. The manager of the store told me how fast using these were when driving long screws into decks. Screws that take the place of lag bolts and can be purchased in very long lengths if needed. The impact wrench built in to the driver is remarkable and fast. The other drill can be use for drilling, or driving if desired. Everything comes in a bag, making it very handy.
Good Deal? May 19, 2007

This kit is offered at the suggested special pricing by DEWALT. With the shipping, it actually cost more than the local Home Depot sold them for, including taxes. But the Depot no longer can get this combo kit. So the selling point isn't the "special" price, but the special availability. Shipping was via USPS, with no choice for other carriers. That means tracking isn't practical. The kit arrived in a reasonable time. I would buy from this seller again. The hammerdrill and impact driver are the best: light, powerful, comfortable in the hand; batteries charge quickly and are so light! How nice not to have to switch between a drill bit and a driver bit in the same drill over and over again!
Very Nice Combination May 10, 2007

I am very happy with this set.
- The bag is better than the plastic toolboxes
- The impact driver drives screws better and easier than a regular drill and gives the user more control
- I think that DeWalt's battery-powered hammerdrill cannot be beat amongst its peers.
I think you will be very happy if you buy this set.
