Review: Worked Great to Drive my 8" Ice Auger for Winter Fishing - I use this drill for drilling holes in the ice to fish in the winter. I have a 8" diameter hand auger and the hand-crank part was a little bent, making it difficult to use. The main part of the shaft with the flights was fine, so I purchased this drill in hopes that it was powerful enough to drive the ice auger. Plus, I already had some DeWalt 5Ah batteries from other tools I own. I live in Colorado, and the ice was about 20 inches thick that winter. I was able to drill several holes without any problems. In the end, way cheaper than a full dedicated electric ice auger setup.......and now I also have a powerful drill for anything else that might require it. Review: Better than expected. - The item delivered was one step higher in quality than what I had ordered. Wonderful surprise. Deliiverd in my garage on time. ## Features - DEWALT-built high power, high efficiency brushless motor delivers up to 57% more run time over brushed - The DCD998 Hammer Drill has 3-speeds, high performance, all-metal transmission to optimize tool-to-task for fast application speeds and improved run-time for drilling in masonry materials - Heavy-duty 1/2-in ratcheting nitro-carburized metal chuck with carbide inserts for superior bit gripping strength - 3-mode LED provides lighting in dark or confined spaces up to 20x brighter than previous model - LED spotlight mode features 20 minute shutoff function allowing for extended work time in dark or confined spaces ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B097GCMZ21 | | Additional Features | Brushless Motor | | Amperage | 8 A | | Battery Capacity | 8 amp_hours | | Battery Type | Lithium-Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #161,722 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #91 in Power Hammer Drills | | Brand | DEWALT | | Brand Name | DEWALT | | Color | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 521 Reviews | | Drill Type | Hammer Drill | | Drilling Capacity Metal | 0.5 inches | | Drilling Capacity Wood | 0.5 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885911677868 | | Included Components | (1) DCD998 20V MAX XR Cordless Brushless 1/2 in.

It's awesome **Q: I purchased the dcd998b hammer drill. when using it and i release the trigger, there is a loud clunking sound. is this normal?** A: Not sure your meaning "clunking". There is a sound where the device is using the rotational energy to transfer back to the battery. It makes a noise during this braking time. This is mostly heard when the drill is not driving (actively loaded). Try actually drilling/driving something and see if the sound goes away (resistance to drilling or driving will stop the bit). If the noise persists, there may be something wrong. **Q: What is the UWO (torque) on this model?** A: 1072 UWO ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked Great to Drive my 8" Ice Auger for Winter Fishing *by D***N on February 11, 2025* I use this drill for drilling holes in the ice to fish in the winter.
