description DeWalt DCD995 Overview
The DCD995 is a versatile hammer drill that combines the power of a standard drill with a percussion mechanism for masonry work. It utilizes DeWalt's brushless technology to provide consistent power and efficiency. This tool is ideal for contractors who need one machine capable of drilling into wood, metal, and brick or concrete. Its balanced weight distribution makes it easy to maneuver during overhead tasks while maintaining high performance.
help DeWalt DCD995 FAQ
What is the difference between the DeWalt DCD995 and DCD996?
The DCD995 is an older 20V MAX XR three-speed brushless hammer drill, while the DCD996 succeeded it with updated performance and an integrated work light design. Batteries from DeWalt's 20V MAX system are broadly shared, but package contents and chargers vary by kit number.
Can the DCD995 drill into concrete?
Yes, its hammer mode is intended for drilling holes in masonry with a suitable carbide-tipped masonry bit. It is not a substitute for an SDS rotary hammer when making large or repeated holes in hard concrete.
Why does the DCD995 have three gears?
The mechanical gearbox lets users choose low speed for high-torque work, a middle range for mixed drilling, or high speed for smaller holes. Changing gears while the chuck is still moving can prevent proper engagement, so the drill should stop first.
Will a modern DeWalt 20V MAX battery fit the DCD995?
The DCD995 belongs to DeWalt's slide-pack 20V MAX platform and accepts compatible batteries from that system. A larger-capacity XR or FLEXVOLT pack can increase runtime but also adds weight to an already substantial hammer drill.
