DeWalt DCD791B 20V Max XR Li-ion Brushless Compact Drill/Driver, Tool

This is a high torque drill driver. Hold onto it tightly and when driving screws but very careful to start it slowly otherwise it will spin the driver bit (Phillips or pan-head) in the head of the screw stripping it. It takes practice and effort to start this drill slowly when driving screws. And yes, this is on the slower of the two speed settings. For drilling, the torque is great, just make certain you have tightened the drill bit into the chuck tightly otherwise the high torque might cause you to spin around the drill bit.

An excellent drill and driver. It’s lightweight, compact and powerful. I also bought a 4Mh battery, which I can use on other Dewalt tools, and a charger which does a fine job. The drill has a lot of torque settings, and the light is directed onto the subject perfectly. It also stays on a few seconds after pressing the trigger, which is handy.

I’m glad DeWalt moved the LED to the base to broadcast light where the drill bit tip is being used.It’s about time.This drill is fantastic compared to what we have used throughout our career.

The first one was delivered and stolen off my front porch but Amazon stepped right up and replaced it. VER impressive. My old 12V DeWalt lasted 12 years, was always a workhorse and still functions – but it was time to upgrade. I LOVE this tool, so many uses, powerful, looks cooler than my running shoes. Wish the batteries weren’t so dang expensive.

I’m a general contractor and use a lot of tools for a living. I purchased this tool on sale from amazon and am definitely impressed with it. Has all the functions of most drills on the market, so i won’t bother reviewing any of that. What makes this drill stand out from the rest is the light feature on it. Most drills have an led that stays on for a 20 second delay before turning off. Then you must press the trigger to activate it again. This can be irritating when you’re working in a crawl space and don’t have/forgot your flashlight. Instead this drill has a 3 position switch which allows for extended use/brightness functions. First position is dim, like most drills with the 20 second delay, the next is a 5 minute delay, with a stronger led light, and the last is a 20 minute delay, with a super bright led. Most led’s on drills are somewhat dim, and when compared to today’s smartphone flashlights, aren’t even useful much beyond 2 ft distance. This drill on the other hand is somewhat of a flashlight in and of itself. I understand it can use more power, but its an LED with low power draw, in a drill, chances are you’ll kill the battery by drilling before the led kills it. The placement of the LED provides excellent coverage of the target area as well, though if you’re from Canada, and you find yourself working outside for any particular reason, gloves could presumably be a concern with blocking the light. But then again, if you’re from Canada, you’re likely accustomed to such temperatures, and don’t need gloves either.So far my only gripe on the drill is that it isn’t a hammer drill, while it looks identical to the hammer drill which Dewalt also sells. To me though its not a deal breaker. I’ve experienced the power tools built in hammer mechanisms on my other tools and to put it bluntly, they suck. if you’re just dropping a couple tiny anchors in concrete, it’d do the job, but a real hammer drill is a life saver, so save yourself some money and buy one.Not much to say beyond that, but i would definitely recommend buying this drill if you’re looking for a high quality drill with an awesome built in LED Flashlight.

I am really disappointed this Drill came without a battery, however upon review, I see it in the product description. Adding the costs of the Batteries and the charger, this unit costs $389 bucks! (and I don’t​ even get a case) I would never have paid that much for a cordless drill! It looks like a very solid little unit and well made.

I managed to screw in around 700 3/8s wood grip screws and drill through a stack of sheets with a slightly used 5 amp battery. The normal brushed guns will kill a battery like that in a couple moves.I’ve been using Dewalt for a long time and this is the first time I’ve used a brushless gun. I thought maybe some hype was happening but this gun blew past my expectations.The only two issues I have with it is that for 3 different modes of light, you’d think they’d have made a mode where you could not use the light at all. It’d save even more power. The other issue is that it’s a very nice gun and it almost breaks my heart to use it at work when there’s so many other guns around. But it’s a lot better than all the normal Dewalt lithiums and it does save a lot of battery.I highly recommend this gun.
