We recently did a review of the DeWALT DCD980L2 and DCD780C2. Now we have the 20V hammer drills DCD985L2 and DCD785C2.

Years ago I came to possess a really large walnut log and had it sawn to my specifications on a band mill. I then air dried it and have stowed most of it ever since. Many of the plain-sliced slabs yielded widths of between 20″ and 33″. Yes, I consider myself a lucky man. I’ve [...]
