Sales Rank: 75218 Average Rating:  Back Editorial Review: Amazon.com: A drill/driver is a great tool, but not for every application, unless of course you consider stripped screws part of the charm of doing it yourself. Some jobs simply need the added muscle only an impact driver can provide, and the 14.4-volt cordless DeWalt DW054K-2 is one impact driver worth a look. At first glance, the DeWalt driver looks a little weak. After all, it measures only 6-1/2 inches and weighs just 4.1 pounds. But don't let appearances fool you. Under that slight exterior beats the heart of a champ. The driver produces an amazing 1,150 in./lbs. of maximum torque, making it ideal for even the toughest jobs and the tightest applications, where comparable drivers simply couldn't reach. The unit features an all-metal transmission, a durable magnesium gear case and an all-metal quick release chuck that accepts 1/4-inch hex shank bits. A textured, anti-slip comfort grip provides ultimate comfort and stability. A specially designed impacting mechanism reduces kickback -- and fatigue. And a variable-speed trigger switch with electric brake means better overall control.--Carl Thress Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Failure report First the good: This is a solid tool with great daily performance- drives your screws like a cordless drill could only hope to. Now the not so good: DeWalt's batteries seem to fail a LOT earlier than they used to. I don't know why but at $60 each to replace them, well, I'm not thrilled. I have owned this tool for about 1 1/2 years. In that time I built 3 good sized decks with it and it performed very well for the most part, but. . . .today it failed (broke). ...

I have some rental properties that always need something done, and man, does this tool get a lot of use. I've used it for putting down plywood, some sheetrock installation, putting stainless steel screws into redwood fence boards and a number of other things. We liked it so much I bought a second unit so my helper can use one while I use the other. Like another reviewer said, people love this tool. It doesn't weigh much, is small enough to get into tight places, and goes a long way on a charge. It is pretty ... Read More Rating: - Oh man This is a great screw gun! I bought mine last week, and have hardly had the chance to use it. Why? Because if it sits idle for a minute, someone on my crew has nabbed it for whatever they're building. I haven't seen a WOW factor like this from a tool since the first Hitachi slide saw. To a man, everyone on my crew says they're going to buy one of these for themselves. I hope they do - so I can use mine! Rating: - Sweet, but... I shopped (data and spec-wise)around for this style of tool and finally decided on the DeWalt 14.4v. As a professional cabinet installer for 4 national manufacturers, I rely on my tools for my income and my high quality reputation million dollar plus homeowners demand. I think I have every DeWalt 14.4v tool made. Even a DeWalt 14.4 bisquet joiner. I like the professional grade 14.4v because it is light enough to use all day long and because most pro grade 14.4v drivers and drills won't "over torque" the screws. ...
