DEWALT 18V Cordless Drill Combo Kit , 2-Tool (DCK235C)

I have had a Ryobi rechargeable set for over a decade. All of my batteries were dead or dying so I opted to buy this set rather than shell out money for new Ryobi batteries. I'm very impressed with the power and sturdiness of these two drills. I'll be migrating over to DeWalt for all of my other rechargeable tools. The impact wrench is a device I haven't previously owned and it has been extremely useful in removing some rusted bolts, drilling into concrete and sinking some heavy duty lag bolts.

My wife surprised me with a DeWalt reciprocating saw that used the DeWalt 18v XRP batteries. I hated the fact that I rarely use the saw and have these perfectly good batteries sitting around rarely getting used, so I looked for other DeWalt power tools that also used 18V batteries. I found this set of tools in that search. This is a FANTASTIC value. I have no clue how this bundle is so inexpensive. I can't recommend this set enough to anyone who already doesn't own a power drill and/or impact driver. I used the impact driver heavily for two days while getting ready for a house-warming party and it performed admirably. I didn't even need to switch out the XRP battery with a replacement. I'm super impressed and extremely happy with the two tools.

I've put this kit to the test especially the impact drill building entire decks and used for some automotive tasks without skipping a beat. The drill has more power than my Rigid 18volt lithium ion (I really like Rigid but... I had it replaced under warranty on my third drill and now the batteries are crap), it surprisingly will turn over a 4.0 6cyl Jeep engine (without the spark plugs in) on the drill mode. Sort of a torture test I guess... i do this twice a year to a back up motor that sits on an engine stand. Although this kit has the older NiCad batteries, there are some benefits. They're not AS picky about charging in cold weather vs LiOn batteries and they're happier to sit when not in use without loosing their charge ability. I hope this review helps. Also, the carry bag has plenty of room for bits etc.

Bought it for my dad, since I got tried of him borrowing my drills for his projects. He love the drills and use them on wood working project, around the house repairs, and automotive repairs.

Arrived on time and worked really well. Used them to replace a floor in the shed. The job went really fast with these beasts. I'm done buying cheepo 12 volt drills and the local hardware store. These work great and I'm a fan of dwalt. if I could I'd replace all my tools with dewalt.

The DC825 Impact Driver arrived with a significant wobble at the tool chuck. Bits move 2-3mm at the tip, and I can see the chuck is not straight. This is not acceptable. Not sure if I am the only one with this problem as I seem to have read a similar review somewhere. Contacted seller, waiting to hear what will happen to resolve this. Also, both tools seem to be of a bit less quality than my 10-12 year old DeWalt pieces. Not sure if they are inferior, they just appear to be not as nice. Specifically the drill, it looks cheesy …… Made in Mexico …… Battery is not an XRP, a little smaller.

This product was a great price, shipped quickly, even had a smiley face on the invoice! :) the bag is durable, fits all the tools easily with room to spare. Drill works great and we are very pleased.

I always heard from my mom the Brazilian popular say: "When you need buy something, don't be cheap, because is a way to expend more money"I was looking for a drill for a small job in my home. Since my dad has a farm in Brazil and his 30 years old drill stop work, I decided buy a good one, use for my job and them give to him. I checked in everywhere and talk with a lot of people and all recommend me Dewalt as a good brand. I bought this 2 drills and all the sets for them (Yes, expended some money).When I received the drills in August I did my jobs and put back in the box. In August 28th I came back to visit my family in Brazil and gave the drills to my dad. He was really happy with the gift.1 month ago he needed tight some screws and called me to tell how he was happy with the drills. My dad is 63 years old and don't have the same strength as before, and this was one of the reason I looked for this tools. But unfortunately, last week he told me the drill stop working. He was building a kennel and was the second time he used the Impact Drive. He was really sad, and told me he believes this is not a good drill. His words was: "I believe this is just for small and simple jobs in home". Them he asked me to buy another one for a "man's job". He didn't know the brand, but for him, this is for ladies jobs. Is it Dewalt? Another thing, the drill is broken and what I'm suppose to do with the accessories? Many things came in mind and involve the Dewalt CEO, but I'll no describe here because Amazon will block my review.An Impact Drill for a famous brand who broke because is unable to put a screw in a wood???? C'mmon. I wasted my time and money. I bought an expensive drill for a famous brand expecting a good product, but I was wrong. It's like this cheap one you buy in any place.I didnt check, but I bet with anyone. Probably chinese made.

good drill
