Built on DeWALT’s XR technology platform, this 18‑volt brushless unit delivers exceptional power, durability, and versatility without the bulk of a traditional corded tool.
Key Design Features
- 18 V XR Brushless Motor: Provides smooth torque delivery, longer motor life, and reduced maintenance compared to brushed motors. The brushless design also reduces heat buildup for sustained operation.
- 169 Nm Peak Torque: Enables drilling through tough materials such as hardwood, metal, and masonry with minimal effort. Ideal for heavy‑duty fastening tasks.
- Three‑Speed Gearbox (0–2250 RPM): Offers precise speed control: low speed for high torque applications, medium speed for general drilling, and high speed for fast wood or plastic work.
- 13 mm Keyless Chuck: Allows quick bit changes without tools. The magnetic chuck holds bits securely while the user can switch between drill and driver modes seamlessly.
- Ergonomic Dual‑Grip Handle: Designed to reduce vibration fatigue, providing a comfortable grip during prolonged use. The handle also features an integrated trigger guard for safety.
- TSTAK™ Case Included: The compact case protects the tool and offers convenient storage of accessories such as drill bits, screwdriver bits, and a charging cable (battery not included).
