DEWALT DC970K-2 18-Volt Drill/Driver Kit

I went shopping for Father's day early and bought my husband a DeWalt 18V Cordless Adjustable Clutch Driver/Drill, is it a good drill? He is a really great father and deserves something good. His last drill was a Craftsman and crapped out after a couple

A: absolutely, The dewalt will out perform the Craftsman hands down. I have been in the construction industry for yearand theres nothing better than the Dewalt line of cordless tools. I would have went for the 14.4 tho, unless you got a hammer drill model.

“I work in construction, mostly in copper fabrication and seamless gutters, but also a bit of everything. Last Friday, I was helping a co-worker do some roofing, We were installing Permaclad sheets, a very typical roof setup here, galvanized 26 guage steel sheets with a U-panel design. The roof was somewhat steep, but it was dry and we had decent traction. The sheets were 18 feet long x 3 feet wide.

I was about 14 feet up from the edge, marking out screw lines, when someone on the other side of the house sprayed water over the roof. Nobody will admit to it, but a wet Permaclad sheet can be like ice.

This house was built backing a gully, and from the front of the house, only 10 feet to the roof. On the back of the house where I was, it is about 35 feet drop to the ground. I started to slip, couldn’t get up to the ridgecap, and nothing behind me to stop me.

Luckily, I remembered my 551 Grip (Benchmade Griptilian one-hand opening folder) , yanked it out
