Another great drill. Had a few Dewalt drills. Only the batteries that lets them down. Hopefully the new generation will be an improvement. Great drills though. 1st class

Perfect for every job I’ve encountered so far, including everything masonry drilling to furniture assembly. The battery lasts for hours and I’ve barely needed to look beyond the huge range of bits supplied. Mine came without any cutouts in the top-shelf foam unlike the picture, however this just allowed me to arrange the drill and accessories how I see fit, including additional items, e.g. spare battery, safety glasses etc.In terms of performance, the drill is a beast with great torque and excellent sensitivity so you don’t get carried away, though I recommend the lower setting for screwdriver mode.Very happy with this set, it’s already earned its keep a good few times over.

I purchased this drill to replace my previous DCD796N. The chuck was playing up and it is easier to replace the whole drill rather than the chuck. The drill is excellent, combining great power with nominal weight. Coupled with a torque control and hammer action this drill should be good for nearly all jobs. I haven’t come across anything else that compares to this great value drill. I use mine with a 5amp battery.The only downside is that the chuck can wear and it is so difficult to take off (I wish they would change the design to a small screw inside the chuck for removal. My previous drill was over 6 years old and has been heavily used. I will now use it for the dirty jobs (mixing paint, plaster etc.) and keep the new one for drilling.Overall I great drill that ... MoreI purchased this drill to replace my previous DCD796N.

Have long felt it would be a good idea to have a second cordless combi drill, and when I saw this one at a low price took the plunge. It's a much nicer drill than my existing Hitachi one. I hadn't appreciated how some things have advanced in the intervening years - like the one handed chuck operation.
Replacing an older DeWalt combi drill it was great to be able to purchase the body only as the batteries I have are fine. My old drill served me well but was developing problems with the chuck following quite a lot of use over the years - and possibly me using it on jobs which probably needed a heavier drill! I did look at the option of a larger drill but, on balance, decided to stay with this more nimble drill. Actually kept the old body to use in extreme conditions (drilling thick walls) to save the DCD796N for more "normal" usage. Also own a DeWalt XR planer - they do seem to produce great kit so I didn't even bother looking elsewhere.
If you have got the battery, this is an improved combi drill compared with the previous model. Smooth action, good speed and power, positive switches and an improved work light. Now I'll keep my fingers crossed my 8-year-old 4Ah battery keeps working well.
Solid, reliable drill. This is my second purchase of this model and both are going strong. The cheapest but also perfectly good at what it does. Smooth control, good accurate light, 18V battery, well balanced.
This is an excellent drill and a considerable improvement on the previous model which I owned. It is very light and has a lot more power and torque. It’s also very ergonomic and fits in the hand easily. A friend of mine I was a seasoned craftsman witnessed me drilling holes in some thick timber and was very impressed and thought it was a considerable improvement over his Makita kit! I am very pleased with this drill, it is well made and should last a long time if it is well looked after.In conclusion I would have no hesitation in recommending this drill to either a tradesman or a DIYer.
DeWalt cordless drills are the best in the business. When I bought my first, some years ago, I was blown away by the battery life and quality feel of the tool. I recently bought this new brushless drill so that I have one drill for drilling and the other for screw-driving. Since my first drill came with 2 batteries this body-only unit made perfect sense and, unless you’re a professional and using it all day, every day, the second battery rarely gets used anyway. No one should waste their money on diy brands that come with, in my experience, batteries that won’t hold a charge after a couple of years. Pay a little more for a DeWalt, but only pay it once!
the light in the base is a major improvement to having it up top now my hand dont get in the way of the light, grt all round rubberised grip creates a no slip tool with a changeable belt clip to the other side for us left handers, well done dewalt, more than powerful enough for those real tough jobs with plenty of punch for hard concrete this machine bangs like a good un! plenty of torque settings for screwdriving gives you scope from little to large & not forgetting the 2 speed box for the slow stuff, i couldnt as for more, i definitely made the right choice! & it works well & lasts with my 5amp battery! Thanks Dewalt you've done it again!
