DeWalt - 18v Cordless Drill XRP DC987KA
DeWalt’s 18v drill-driver is unique in that it features three speed ranges topping out at 2,000 rpm.
Mar 01, 2003
DeWalt drills always have been a favorite of mine, and the company has made some improvements to its line. The new 18v model has three speed ranges, with a top speed of 2,000 rpm in third gear, a dramatic improvement when drilling small holes in wood. This tool stands up well, literally – the batttery pack has a large, flat bottom, so the drill doesn’t fall over easily.
