DEWALT DC822KL 18-Volt 1/2-inch Lithium Ion Cordless Impact Wrench with NANO Technology Review
Compact enough to access small spaces, the cordless DEWALT DC822KL 18-volt, 1/2-inch impact wrench delivers up to 1,740 inch-pounds of impact power to get the job done--whether tightening large bolts, loosening stubborn lug nuts, or driving extra-long lag screws. It's powered by DEWALT's 18-volt XRP batteries (two batteries plus 1-hour charger included), and it comes with a hard-sided kit box for storage and transport.
|
Delivering up to 1,740 inch-pounds of torque, this speedy, cordless impact wrench produces a surprising amount of raw screw-driving power. The DC822KL has a no load speed of 0-2,400 RPM and 0-2,700 impacts per minute, and it has a 1/2-inch drive that's square with detent pin retention. Its frameless motor with replaceable brushes helps to extend durability and the life of the tool.
The durable metal transmission and magnesium gear case provide added protection, and the ergonomically shaped, anti-slip grip and heavy-duty impacting mechanism provide comfort for long-term use without kickback and fatigue. The included heavy-duty kit box keeps everything in place and ready to go. The DC822KL weighs 3.7 pounds and measures 5-3/4 inches in length.
A tool's only useful if it runs long enough to get the job done, and the DEWALT XRP extended run time batteries keep the DC822KL running at full tilt. They provide up to 40 percent more run time than standard Ni-Cad batteries, and any XRP battery can be used with any 18-volt DEWALT tool, which allows you to expand your system by adding other DEWALT cordless tools (sold separately) as the demands of your job grow.
The DC822KL comes with two 18-volt XRP batteries and a 1-hour charger.
This DEWALT tool is backed by three-year limited warranty covering any defects due to faulty materials or workmanship (from the date of purchase). It's also covered by DEWALT's one-year free service contract, where DEWALT will maintain the tool and replace worn parts caused by normal use--for free.

Bare-Tool Bosch PS20 10.8-Volt Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver (Tool Only, No Battery) Review
Bosch DDS180-02 18-Volt Compact Tough Drill Driver with 2 1.3Ah Batteries Review
Ready for all materials from wood to metal, the compact yet powerful Bosch DDS180-02 Compact Tough 18-volt lithium-ion 1/2-inch drill/driver's 7-inch head length is the smallest in its class, yet it delivers top heavy-duty drilling performance. It works with all Bosch 18-volt lithium-ion batteries, and this kit includes two 1.3 Ah Slim Pack batteries to help keep things light.
The DDS180-02 is optimized to worke at two speeds--one for high-torque applications (0-500 RPM) and one for high-speed applications (1,700 RPM)--and it provides a maximum of 600 inch-pounds of torque. The 4-pole open-frame motor and newly developed gearbox provide exceptional power for such a compact drill/driver. The 18+1 clutch settings included in this Compact Tough model and a variable-speed trigger help you match the best speed to the job, so you can achieve precise results. It can drive 500 screws per charge using the BAT619G 3.0 Ah HC battery (not included).
This drill/driver's Durashield housing is constructed with ABS/nylon composite, which makes the housing flexible on impact. Unlike competitive tools, which use a conventional plastic housing, Durashield will not crack and can easily withstand 10-foot drops.
The ergonomically designed handle and soft-grip wrapped housing offer a comfortable fit for extended working time. The DDS180-02 comes complete with a single-sleeve 1/2-inch auto-lock chuck for one-handed bit changes, as well as increased drill-bit capacity for versatility. And for even greater convenience, LEDs provide illumination when you are working in dark or enclosed areas.
Like all tools in Bosch's 18-volt line, this drill/driver can be used with either a 1.3 Ah Slim Pack battery (model BAT609), a 2.6-Ah Fat Pack battery (model BAT618), or a 3.0 Ah Fat Pack HC batter (model BAT619G). If you're looking for a lightweight option, the Slim Pack is the perfect choice. If longer runtime is what you need, the Fat Pack will do the job.
ProVantage GuaranteeThe DDS180-02 comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years. |

About DEWALT
Raymond E. DeWalt followed in his father's footsteps by holding mill and constructions jobs from the time he left school. No matter what the job, the question of high labor costs always concerned him. To help cut these costs, occasionally he rigged up a machine to meet some special need. Eventually, Mr. DeWalt was offered a position as head of a woodworking mill that manufactured almost everything from boxes to full-fledged houses. He designed a yoke and attached it directly to a motor and saw, then mounted it on a standard arm. The saw could be raised, lowered, slid back and forth, moved to any angle, or tilted to any bevel. It instantly lowered costs and increased productivity, and was the first DEWALT tool. Today the DEWALT power tools line consists of over 200 electric power tools and over 800 accessories including: drills and hammer drills, screwdrivers, circular, chop, miter, table, reciprocating, and jig saws, planers, impact wrenches, die, angle, and bench grinders, shears, nibblers, sanders, laminate trimmers, routers, and plate joiners.

Skil 2354-02 4-Volt Max Li-Ion Driver With Right Angle Attachment Review
|
 |
 |
Powerful Performance in a Tiny Package
The Skil 2354-01 iXO 4-volt palm-sized screwdriver is a handy tool to have around, whether you're a homeowner or a college student. Designed to fit in the palm of your hand, this lightweight tool delivers up to 4 volts of power and has a run time that's 20 percent longer than that of Skil's previous model (the 2346-05).
The screwdriver's relatively low speed of 200 RPM results in higher torque and more efficient driving. The low speed also provides more control to prevent screws from being stripped and work surfaces from being damaged. The tool's magnetic bit holder accepts any 1/4-inch hex bit.
Convenient Controls and Indicator Lights
Located above the trigger is a forward/reverse lever and trigger lock, which allows you to change the rotation of your bit or, when you're finished, to lock the trigger and prevent accidental starts or discharge. Forward and reserve LED indicators on top of the tool show your drilling direction. The tool's rubberized handle offers a secure, comfortable grip.
Bright LED for Better Visibility
For greater visibility when you're working, the Skil 2354-01 iXO 4-volt palm-sized screwdriver has a built-in LED SiteLight that turns on automatically when you squeeze the trigger. The SiteLight is designed to be maintenance-free and last the life of the tool.
Automatic Locking System
The Skil 2354-01 iXO 4-volt palm-sized screwdriver comes equipped with an AutoLock automatic locking system, which locks the bit holder in one position when the trigger switch is released. This in turn allows you to tighten or loosen a nut or screw by rotating the tool by hand with the switch off--a convenient feature when higher turning torque is needed.
The Skil 2354-01 iXO 4-volt palm-sized screwdriver features a lithium-ion power battery that holds a charge for up to 18 months. The tool weighs 11 ounces.
