DEWALT DCD980M2 Drill/Driver: Performance and Control
The 3-speed all-metal transmission lets you optimize speed and torque for the task. Low gear with high torque drives big fasteners, while high gear increases speed for quick drilling. The heavy-duty 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts provides exceptional bit grip, reducing slippage and stripping. An LED light with a 20-second delay illuminates dark corners after the trigger is released.
Battery System and Run-Time
This kit includes two DEWALT 20V MAX* XR Premium 4.0Ah batteries, which offer longer run-time and improved durability over standard batteries. The 1-hour charger rapidly replenishes a pack, so you stay productive. The batteries are compatible with the entire DEWALT 20V MAX* platform, making this a smart investment if you already own other 20V tools.
Ergonomics and Durability
The DCD980M2 has a comfortable, rubber-overmolded grip and a 360-degree side handle for control in heavy drilling. The all-metal gear case and high-strength housing stand up to jobsite abuse. Whether you're building a deck, hanging cabinetry, or assembling furniture, this drill delivers the kind of dependable performance you'd expect from DEWALT.
