The Cordless DEWALT DCD970KL Hammer Drill

The Dewalt DCD970KL is one of the tools that provide the user with hammering, drilling and driving functionalities. One of the most important tools in construction is the hammer.  The tool is battery powered running on the 18 volt Lithium ion battery.

The use of the battery powered tool allows one access to tight and confined spaces where the use of other tools is limited. Read the Dewalt DCD970KL review to get informed about the various advantages and uses of the tool.

Uses The XRP Battery System

One of the worries when it comes to the use of battery powered tools such as the Dewalt DCD970KL is battery life. The DCD970KL Dewalt hammer drill uses the XRP battery system which ensures long lasting battery life. The XRP system provides close to 40% more power time than ordinary NiCAD batteries.

Power Delivered In Full Tilt Even When The Charge Is Running Down

In addition to the longer life, the system also comes with an hour’s lithium ion charger that gives one ample time to get the system recharged. The battery system allows the user to get power delivered in full tilt even when the charge is running down.

The use of the Dewalt DCD970KL in tight and confined spaces is aided by the size of the tool. The hammer drill measures 14.38 inches in length, 16.5 inches in width and 5.25 inches in height. It also weighs only 6 pounds which makes handling it quite friendly. There are other aspects of the design that go towards ease of operation.

 Self Tightening Chuck

One of the features in handling happens to be a 360 degrees side handle. Mid tool handle placement as well as a soft and ergonomic handle reduces the effects of fatigue while working with the tool. With the handling and weight distribution, the use of the tool is quite accurate and convenient when dealing with close to unmanageable positions. There are other features in operating with the tool that help in handling such as the self tightening chuck.

Runs A 450 Watt Rated Motor

The battery system of the Dewalt DCD970KL runs a 450 watt rated motor that is used to run different applications. The motor is highly capable of providing the tool with power to operate on both soft and hard surfaces such as wood to steel. The motor guarantees performance in whatever application it is used.

The operation and control of the motor is regulated to three speeds. The three speed settings are different when it comes to the drilling and hammer drilling modes. The drilling mode has the 0 to 500, 0 to 1250 and 0 to 2000 rpm speed settings. The hammer drilling option has the 0 to 8500, 0 to 21250 and 0 to 34000 bpm speed settings.

There are other Dewalt DCD970KL design specifications such as the LED lighting for increased visibility and accuracy. The shipping of the tool comes with two batteries, the charger as well as a tool kit all at a relatively cheap Dewalt DCD970KL price. The tool also comes with the famed three years warranty from Dewalt. In addition to the warranty, there is a year’s worth of free servicing as well as a 90 day money back guarantee.
