Dewalt CDC760KI 18v Cordless DrillPowered by Lithium-Ion batteries for long-lasting and reliable performance, the DEWALT DCD760KL 1/2-Inch 18-Volt Cordless Compact Lithium-Ion Drill/Driver (DeWalt DCD760KL Cordless Drill) is a powerful tool. Its compact and lightweight design makes it a good fit in the average man and woman’s hand. I bet you will be delighted that your wife can sometimes do the drilling for you.

Perfect for Home DIY and professional jobs, this efficient tool comes with 2 Lithium-Ion batteries, 30-minute lithium/NiCad charger, and heavy-duty case.

Lightweight and compact design
Weighing in at just 1.8kg with a length of 8.2 inches, the DeWalt DCD760KL Cordless Drill lets you drill longer periods without causing excessive strain on your wrists. This indirectly helps in boosting productivity.

With the batteries located below the handle, the DeWalt DCD760KL Cordless Drill has a slim, comfortable rubberized handle that lets you feel good in hands. Such slim grip makes this a perfect drill for many women too.

Its overall compact size also makes it so easy for you to manage in small spaces or tight corners like under the sinks, in a closet and etc.

Dual speed range and 17clutch settings
DeWalt DCD760KL Cordless Drill offers the convenience of a dual speed range of 0-500/0-1,700 rpm which allows you to drill effortlessly in various materials. Whether to set it high or low speed is pretty much depends on the type of material being drilled and the type of the drill bit. And this information is available on its manual.

With the 17 clutch settings, you can really fine-tune the power this drill delivers. Basically, the higher the number, the higher the torque and the larger the screw which can be driven.

This keyless single sleeve chuck drill also has a built-in worklight located just above the trigger switch. This comes in handy when drilling at a low light environment.  It is so convenient that the worklight is activated when the trigger switch is squeezed.

Lithium-Ion Battery for long-lasting
As mentioned, the DeWalt DCD760KL Cordless Drill is powered by compact Lithium-Ion batteries that are compatible with all system of DEWALT 18v power tools produced since 1996. Not only they weight much lighter than the NiCad batteries, their charging time is significantly shorter, 30 minutes, and longer lasting too.

This DeWalt DCD760KL Cordless Drill set comes with two batteries which allow you to work uninterruptedly. Just note that, unlike the NiCad powered drill, the drill in DeWalt DCD760KL Cordless Drill will stop turning when the batteries are weak. In this case, just pop the spare batteries in and the tool will be “up and drilling” again.

Warranty information
When you purchase the DeWalt DCD760KL Cordless Drill, it is backed by a limited three-year warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee, one-year free service contract, and two-year free service contract on the batteries. (What more can you ask for?)

Before rushing off to get this, you should know that buying the DeWalt DCD760KL Cordless Drill does not come with any drill bits. So you might want to consider buying the drill bits as well.
