Review: Great - Superb machine
Review: I bought this as a gift as I already own 2 and was tired of lending mine out, these things are a beast and can do pretty much what any corded drill can do and then some. I did allot of the construction on my house with the 18v version 10 years ago and when it finally died a couple years back I bought the 20v version and I have not been disappointed with them yet. Its not a big deal to change bits but having two certainly makes it quicker to get jobs done since I don't have to change the bits all the time. Do I and would I recommend this drill to people? Yes! Great Power and torque which are all adjustable.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i drill hole on metal ?**
A: You can switch between the hammer drilling or conventional drilling setting on this tool. If you were drilling into metal, you would choose the conventional drilling setting, and would also insert a drill bit that was designed for drilling into metal rather than a masonry bit.

**Q: Que referencia de batería le sirve gracias?**
A: Jhony, Hello and thank you for your question.  The DEWALT DCD985B takes any of the DEWALT 20V Max or XR batteries.

**Q: Why does the picture of the drill have a sticker that says "made in usa" but the chart with the product specs says "country of origin = china" ?**
A: Would have to believe its from china. Maybe the single part where the sticker is attached is Made in USA

**Q: Does dcd985b have a mechanical clutch (clicks) or electronic control (motor stalls) for selecting torque?**
A: The chuck type is metal ratcheting.
