#1 – IT’S THE SUCCESSOR TO THE POPULAR DCD995
Tried, true and trusted, the DCD995 is a beast of a combi-drill. But the DCD996 has a larger brushless motor which gives you a 34% power increase.
#2 – 3 GEARS FOR GREATER RANGE
The more gears, the more control you have over blows per minutes and revolutions per minute. As a result, you have the ability to perform a huge range of applications with complete control over the drill.

#3 – IT’S AN XRP TOOL
Dewalt’s XR platform helped to revolutionise how cordless tools perform, promising eXtreme Runtime. XRP goes further, providing class-leading performance. For example, in gear three while in hammer mode you’ll have 38,250 blows per minute while the chuck spins at 2,250rpm.
#4 – IT’S POWERFUL BUT IT’S SMART
Brute force isn’t everything, you need to know you’re going to have a combi-drill that’ll last. Dewalt has increased the airflow to the motor to help keep the motor cool while giving you the class-leading performance.
#5 – THE LED WORK LIGHT
Dewalt has added a 3-stage led light to the base of the drill which allows you to go from 2.6 lumens all the way up to a massive 60 lumens. This means you can use the drill as you would a torch in even the darkest corners of the job site.
The DCD996 is available now with two 5Ah batteries, a multi-volt charger, a side-handle and a heavy duty Tstak case and it’s available on Toolstop Finance.
