DCD996P2 Brushless 18v XRP 3 Speed Combi Drill (2x5Ah)

The DeWALT DCD996P2 18V XR Brushless Combi Drill is a high-performance cordless hammer drill designed for demanding site work. As the successor to the DCD995, it features a larger, more powerful brushless motor, delivering up to 34% more power and improved efficiency under load.

Enhanced airflow keeps the motor cooler during prolonged use, maintaining consistent performance in tough drilling and fastening applications. The 3-speed all-metal gearbox gives tradespeople precise control over speed, torque and impact rate, making this drill suitable for everything from fine screwdriving to heavy-duty masonry drilling.

An upgraded automatic high-speed hammer function boosts masonry drilling productivity, while the base-mounted 3-stage LED work light delivers up to 60 lumens, providing excellent visibility in low-light conditions — bright enough to be used as a standalone work light when needed.

Supplied with two 5.0Ah XR lithium-ion batteries, this kit offers extended runtime and is ideal for electricians, carpenters, fit-out crews and general contractors who need reliable cordless performance on site.
