Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The heavy-duty DEWALT DC730KA drill/driver is a compact, cordless tool backed by the power of a high-performance frame-less motor. With the ability to deliver 300 unit watts of maximum power and dual-speed capability, this versatile drill/driver makes it easy to take on tough tasks, while the 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck prevents bit slippage, so you get more precise results. At just 4.3 pounds and 8.2 inches long, it's comfortable to use for a sustained period of time, and it's a perfect fit for jobs in tight spaces. Also offering the extended tool life provided by all-metal planetary gears, a built-in LED that makes it easy to see your work surface, and convenient onboard storage that prevents misplaced bits, this tool is built around features users need. Also included in this kit is a one-hour charger, two 14.4-volt batteries, a screwdriver bit, and a durable kit box for easy transport.
From the Manufacturer
Like all of DEWALT's cordless drill/drivers, the DC730KA is engineered to satisfy the demands of professional contractors. This heavy-duty model has a comfortable, compact size--just 4.3 pounds and about 8 inches long--that easily fits into tight, narrow spaces. The DC730KA is driven by a 14.4-volt extended-run battery, which provides plenty of power for hole drilling and screw driving through virtually any building material. Its variable-speed, two-speed, reversing motor can be operated on low (0-400 RPM) for driving large screws and drilling large holes or high (0-1,450 RPM) for drilling smaller holes and fasteners. The tool is equipped with a 1/2-inch, keyless, single-sleeve, ratcheting chuck that securely locks down on bits to prevent slippage, even when boring large-diameter holes. And its adjustable slip clutch has 17 settings, which ensures precise, consistent screw driving in various materials, hardwood, softwoods, plastic and metal, without fear of over-driving or stripping the screws. An onboard LED work light greatly enhances visibility when working in dark, confined spaces. The DC730KA cordless 14.4-volt compact drill/driver comes with two 14.4-volt batteries, a one-hour charger, and a plastic storage case. It’s backed by DEWALT's three-year limited warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee, and one-year free service contract.

Customer Reviews

This is my 3rd 14.4 volt drill, 3rd generation has really improved. The shorter body allows me to work in tighter areas. I origionally thought the led was a joke but I have noticed that the led light has been pretty handy as I have used it in areas with low lighting, it does work. I was also pretty impressed with the speedy battery charge time. It's nice to see that dewalt has stayed with the same battery configuration since my first drill back 10-15 yrs ago.

Excellent product...I would recommend this to anyone looking for a drill. I had a Ryobi cordless drill prior to purchasing this and after 7 years it finally died. As a result of using Dewalt drills owned by friends, I thought I would purchase one myself. This drill exceeded my expectations greatly. I loved my Ryobi drill and did not want to let it go but glad that I made this purchase instead of another Ryobi...
