Dewalt DC222KA Cordless Drill

The DC222KA is one of Dewalts most popular drills. The distinctive yellow casing holds a vertically mounted motor so is a space saver, a design that has been adopted by many other manufacturers now. Combined with this is a rear mounted Ni-Cad battery for an overall well balanced and comfortable cordless drill.

The patented design includes some nice features such as spring dampened internals to reduce the vibration from the drill and the rubber coated grip helps even more, this should lessen the danger of whitefinger that drill users can suffer from.

The impact rating of 2.1 joules means the DC222KA will drive a 22mm masonry bit through a dense block with relative ease and the max speed of 1100 RPM will make drilling steel fairly swift.

The electronically controlled motor braking is an important safety feature of the DC222KA and air cooled batteries will mean better performance and reliability throughout its life.
