DEWALT’s DCK285C2 20-volt max lithium-ion compact 1.5 Ah hammer drill and impact driver combo kit combines the fast performance of the DCD785 1/2-inch hammer drill and the compact power of the DCF885 1/4-inch impact driver to provide a well-rounded pair of tools that help everyone from steel stud framers and contractors to cabinetmakers and plumbers work their way through a variety of applications.DCK285C2 20-Volt MaxLithium-Ion Compact Hammer Drill/Impact Driver Combo KitAt a Glance:Hammer drill’s two-speed transmission offers 0-600 RPM and 0-2,000 RPMImpact driver’s one-handed loading 1/4-inch hex chuck accepts 1-inch bit tipsTools come with 3-year limited warranty, 1-year free service contract, and 90-day money-back guaranteeLithium-ion batteries come with 2-year free service contractThe kit includes the DCF885 impact driver, which features a one-handed loading 1/4-inch hex chuck that accepts and holds 1-inch bit tips (view larger).Strength Defies SizeDEWALT has optimized both of these tools to withstand daily jobsite wear and tear. The 1/2-inch hammer drill’s high-power, high-efficiency motor delivers 350 unit watts out for superior performance in light and medium drilling applications. A 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts provides superior bit-gripping strength—reducing slippage during high-torque applications—thus providing longer tool life. The hammer drill/driver’s two-speed (0-600 RPM and 0-2,000 RPM) transmission allows users to select the appropriate speed for the job at hand and is up to 30 percent faster than current hammer drill/drivers on the market. Meanwhile, the impact driver’s robust motor delivers 2,800 RPM—up to 43 percent faster than current impact drivers on the market. Its one-handed loading 1/4-inch hex chuck accepts and holds 1-inch bit tips for convenient fastening in tight spaces. Research shows that impact drivers are growing in popularity largely because of their smaller size and lack of kickback (or reactionary torque) thanks to the impact mechanism within the tool. Combined with its 5.55-inch length and 2.8-pound weight, the compact impact driver packs a serious punch in a small package.Endurance and Ease of UseDEWALT-designed electronics have been built into both tools’ switches to provide maximum life for the tools and batteries by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading, and deep discharge during use. The 20-volt’s lithium-ion batteries provide up to 35 percent more runtime than existing 18-volt lithium-ion battery technology, and the included Energy Star-qualified charger has dual voltage capabilities and it is compatible with both 12-volt max and 20-volt max DEWALT lithium-ion batteries. The tools’ slim handles fit easily into users’ hands, increasing the level of comfort during the course of long jobs, and the bright built-in LED work lights above the triggers have a 20-second delay that improves visibility in dimly lit spaces.About DEWALT's 20-Volt Max Lithium-Ion ToolsDEWALT’s line of 20-volt max lithium-ion tools features improvements in engineering and design to provide the performance, the ergonomics, and the innovation that contractors require. The new line consists of 11 tools, two lithium ion batteries, and two battery chargers, as well as a number of combo kits.What's in the BoxOne DEWALT DCK285C2 20-volt max lithium-ion compact 1.5 Ah hammer drill and impact driver combo kit, including the DCD785 1/2-inch hammer drill and the DCF885 1/4-inch impact driver, two 20-volt max 1.5 Ah lithium-ion batteries, one 30-minute Energy Star-rated charger, one bit-tip holder, two belt hooks, and one hard plastic storage and carrying case.DEWALT's DCK285C2 kit combines the fast performance of the DCD785 1/2-inch hammer drill and the compact power of the DCF885 1/4-inch impact driver to tackle a variety of tasks (click each to enlarge).The DEWALT 20V MAX lithium ion compact hammer drill/driver has a compact, lightweight design that easily fits into tight areas.

Plus, the drill itself is light, making long projects far less fatiguing than with older drills. 2 batteries are included. 30-35 minutes for a full charge and the batteries last a long time. Nonstop drilling action if you need/want it. The super powerful drill really is amazing. The lighted tip was a brilliant addition. It really makes it nice when drilling in a dark space or even just a place without great light; you can see exactly what you are drilling. The light is on a timer, so it lights for a while and then shuts itself off. The batteries are interchangeable and charge surprisingly rapidly. By the time one wears out, the other one is ready to go. But don't get me wrong, the batteries LAST quite a while. I can't recommend this highly enough. After using it for a couple of projects, it is clear that the lithium battery with its added power but super light weight is a HUGE advancement. Dewalt has got this DOWN!Yes yes yes for the professional or do-it-yourself guy. Light enough even a small woman wouldn't struggle with it...not to insult anyone's masculinity. Good price and obviously the work of Dewalt incorporating feedback from their customers.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Amazing Power in such a Compact ToolBy Tyler S. KohlerI finally decided that I wanted a new drill. I'm a professional garage door mechanic and GOOD cordless power tools are essential. I've got the whole panasonic 14.4v line and I love all the tools... But the drill just didn't spin the same as anyone else's DeWalt did. If you ever felt the way the drill spins in the handle and you know quality from the way it snaps to a start and snaps to a stop, even the way it sounds, then DeWalt has it on that. This new 20vMAX line is no different. Decided I'd jump into the DeWalt line while they're introducing a brand new line. Amazon was one of the first people to carry it and I ordered this in the beginning of September, well before its October release in all the rest of the stores. My local home depot had them but only the DCK280C2 which is a regular drill/driver with impact. For the $20 more I wanted the DCK285C2 which had the hammerdrill/driver. I mean who wouldn't want the versatility of a hammer drill option on the same drill for $20 more? Anyways, I LOVE that DeWalt finally went to a slide style battery. Kudos for the battery not falling out by accident anymore. Having the option of the 1.5ah batteries that it comes with is nice as they charge quickly and are compact. I need to buy the 3.0ah battery's though because these tools are pretty much attached to my hands 8-10 hours a day. The battery will easily charge in time (~30 minutes)before the other one dies at a pretty continual use though so it's not critical for me yet. The Drill is snappy and I love it. It spins with so much more power and RPM's than my existing drill. Being in the garage door industry I'd say I'm drilling 90% Steel/Metals and 10% Wood. This thing is amazing and cuts through whatever I'm drilling quickly and without hangup. The fact that the light comes on automatically and shuts off with delay automatically is also a very nice touch for both tools. I like the led's on impact driver more though as there's 3 of them focused around the bit holder so there's no shadow where your working at whatever angle. The drill has 1 led and its right above the trigger. When I am going to start a hole the clutch of the drill shadows right where I need the light. Only flaw I could think of though so that's not bad. Hammer drill drilled 3" 3/16 hole in block and cement for tapcons with ease. Not a full time heavy duty hammer/drill but it's a nice option when your on a ladder/lift and find you need to drill concrete. I didn't think I would use the impact driver at first as I have 3 panasonic 14.4v impacts and was only trying to replace the drill. 1 with 1/4" hex drive and 2 with 1/2" square drive. I use the 1/2" square drive one's because I'm doing a lot of fastener driving AND wrenching of nuts a bolts. Well I immediately fell in love with the look and feel of the DeWalt impact driver upon examination. I also liked the way it felt upon start and stop of the tool, just like the drill, a sharp start and stop and durable feel. I also noticed it has way more RPMS than my panasonics, which meant I was screwing hinge screws into doors that much quicker. I bought a 1/2" adapter for the impact and started making use of it in the real work world. This thing has a lot of torque!! Feels very nice in my hand all day and the durable METAL clip on the side of it is a must. When it's hanging off my pocket or toolbelt I hardly notice it's there. I was working on a lift last week about 12 feet in the air and leaned down to get something and the impact caught and lifted its clip out of my pocket and it tumbled down all 12 feet to a concrete floor. You should have heard the sound that came from me. When I went down I was pleasantly surprised to see it in one piece and working the same. I've cracked the housing on my panasonics doing such a thing before and was worried with the new DeWalt line having reduced the size of their handles. They are strong and they are comfortable. I definitely think I'm going to end up replacing the rest of my tools to the the new 20V Max line. It appears as though they'll be having a lot of the same tools they had in 18V coming to 20V Max soon and keeping all your batteries the same when you got a truck full of tools/supplies and your always going to the next persons house to fix/install their door is a must. I recommend this combo kit to anyone and everyone. I'm very satisfied and I'm a professional use my tools hard and all day guy. I look forward to a 1/2" square drive model coming out.
