The DeWalt DCD996 combi hammer is the successor to the DCD995, with an improved, larger brushless motor which delivers up to 34% more power. DeWalt have improved the airflow to this motor which keeps it cool and at the top of its performance. It features an improved automatic high speed for increasing the users masonry drilling speed. It has a 3-speed gear box giving you ultimate control over blows-per-minute and revolutions-per-minute. For example, in gear three while in hammer mode you’ll have 38,250 blows per minute while the chuck spins at 2,250rpm. There's also a newly improved, 3-stage, bae-mounted LED work light. It has a maximum brightness of 60 lumens, enough to light up a huge work area and even bright enough to use solely as a torch. There's a sturdy switch built-in to the drill base to control the brightness.

About brand
Our tools and accessories are made to live on the jobsite. That’s where they’re tested. And if there’s a problem, it’s where we solve it. The result is products we can stand behind.
Even though I am technically a DIY enthusiast, I have found that Drills that are on the market at that price bracket, are lacking. Given my old “Skil” was losing its grip in regard to the keyless chuck, I borrowed a neighbour’s relatively new Bosch and again found that using the hammer drill would loosen the Chuck to the point where the drill bit stopped spinning. Hence this Purchase of the DeWalt DCD996. It’s a well made tool, with an all metal chuck and carbide inserts on the jaws. Once they grip that’s it, no slippage at all even under pressure. There is a reassuring click when the Chuck is tightened sufficiently.Construction: The front housing is metal, and the rear portion , I presume to be ABS.Battery: This charged quickly first time, and clicks into place on the drill body.Power: This is a really powerful tool, the trigger advances the speed in a step fashion, which gives the tool interesting acoustics. It goes through brick very quickly.I was told by a friend who works in construction, that the average DIY drill is designed to last around 15 hours continuous use. The DeWalt is in a different league obviously ,designed for professional use, and comes with three years warranty. The supplied case is strong and neat, and large enough to house the drill, the charger and battery, along with a box of drills and plugs I purchased separately. All in all a satisfying purchase.
