DeWALT DC925KA Heavy-Duty XRP 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver Kit The DeWalt hammer drill/driver has a high-efficiency DeWalt-built motor that’s capable of delivering 510 unit watts of maximum power for superior performance. And to keep it all running at top-capacity, this drill/driver is powered by an 18-volt XRP extended run-time battery that’s designed for steady, reliable use and long life that won’t waver mid-task.

The DC925 comes ready to get down to business, with a patented 3-speed, all-metal transmission that lets you easily match the tool’s speed to any application. It also features a heavy-duty 1/2-inch, self-tightening chuck that tightens while you work, for impressive bit-gripping torque that never slips or fails. No matter the project, this hammer drill’s superior ergonomics are styled to optimize balance, size, and weight — so it’s easy to hold and simple to handle, giving you unparalleled precision on the job. And because it sets a priority on convenience, the DC925KA is built to store standard nut drivers and a variety of screwdriving bit tips right on-board.

This hammer drill/driver boasts three speed settings: 0-450 rpm, 0-1,500 rpm, and 0-2,000 rpm; and it allows for three blow speed settings, too: 0-7,650 bpm, 0-25,500 bpm, and 0-34,000 bpm. It also offers 22 clutch settings and a 1/2-inch, self-tightening chuck. DC925KA weighs only 6.1 pounds and includes a 1-hour charger, two 18-volt XRP batteries, a 360-degree side handle, and a heavy-duty kit box.

Customer Review: Power and then some
Pro’s - Unbelievable torque! Make sure your work is secure and that you have a good grip; if a bit locks into your work (especially steel), you’re in for a ride. Good adjustments for different work. I don’t use the hammer feature often so I can’t speak on that.

Customer Review: Another excellent Makita tool
I purchased this sander nearly one year ago and can’t say I have any complaints about it. The dust collection works surprisingly well, though if the bag isn’t pushed in all the way it has a tendency to fall out (fault of the user, not the tool). It isn’t unbearably loud although I still wear my ear muffs when using it. The vibration in the hand is low, and it does a superb job at what it is designed to do - sand. I don’t know where the components are made, but at least the tool itself is assembled in USA which is more than I can say for the 18V Li-Ion drill and impact driver combo that I have as well (Makita brand) which is made in China. This is a purchase you won’t regret.
Customer Review: Makita sander
This is a quality item and Makita really stands behing their products. I had a problem with the pad on my first one and Makita repaired it and had it back to me in three days. I now have two of them.
