DeWalt DC742KA

The DeWalt DC742KA is a mid-grade "heavy duty" electric drill designed for users that require a drill that can fit into tight spaces. The DC742KA features a 3.8 pound lightweight design that DeWalt claims will "help minimize user fatique". The DC742KA drill also features a dual speed range from 0-400/ 0-1,450 rpm; and a high performance, frame-less motor which provides power of 200 unit watts. The DeWalt DC742KA also includes additional features such as an LED work light to increase visibility, a 3/8" ratcheting chuck which reduces slippage, a one hour battery charger with 2 (12v) batteries, and a convenient carry box.
