DeWALT DCD996P2

high torque

This model is one of the most performant in the line of DeWALT impact drivers. Its truly heroic torque is 95 Nm, so it is comfortable to work with materials of almost any density. Of course, when driving self-tapping screws into wood or drywall, the torque must be limited using the coupling on the body, in order to avoid damage to the material. Also, unlike models of this class, there are not two, but three positions of the rotation speed of the cartridge at 450, 1300 and 2000 rpm. This will allow you to more accurately adjust the speed for a specific type of work. In a 10 cm thick pine board, a 10 mm drill makes a hole in 1.5 seconds, and a 22 mm flute drill in 2.8 seconds is really a huge speed for a screwdriver.

Three position backlight

The instrument has an interesting illumination of the workplace. It has three brightness levels: 2.6 lumens, 18 and 60 lumens. The backlight shines at an angle of 30 degrees, so the beam clearly hits the drilling site. This model from DeWALT is equipped with a brushless motor that works on the patented XRP (“extreme power consumption”) system, which reduces energy consumption and, as a result, prolongs battery life. By the way, there are two 5 Ah batteries included in the kit.

Electronic engine protection

The model is equipped with an all-metal wear-resistant keyless chuck. To prevent engine damage, the “hardware” has electronic protection that turns off the device in case of excessive overload. For greater convenience of working with a heavy tool of 2.13 kg, an additional handle is included in the kit. It is worth noting that the screwdriver is capable of drilling holes with crowns in wood up to 55 mm in diameter, which is often required in furniture production. Of course, you will have to pay a decent amount for a screwdriver, but after all, it is not intended for one-time work, but for constant operation in “harsh” repair conditions.
