  1. Pete W

    I bought this a week or two ago, but waited until I had done a few jobs before reviewing.I already own a Dewalt Ni-MH drill that has done sterling service over the last few years but, having recently bought a few DeWalt 18v XR tools I decided to get a drill, just because it means I can have one set of batteries with me to swap around as needed.I bought this bare, so have used it with a 4.0AH XR battery. First impressions were good, as it felt solid and well balanced in the hand. It is quite lightweight and surprisingly small, which made me wonder if it was more of an “occasional” tool rather than the usual DeWalt pro standard. Once in use though those concerns were dispelled very quickly.Like other DeWalt drills I have used you have to really tighten the keyless chuck as far as you can, but once it is tight it will hold the bit all day long. Really like that the chuck is smooth metal as well, harder wearing but also less likley to damage a surface if you come into contact with it whilst drilling.The first job was to install loftboards using screws. I had done part of the job the previous month with my Ni MH drill and found just how tough loft boards are, resorting to drilling pilot holes for the screws.On firing up this drill it seemed to be significantly faster than my other drill, even on the 1st speed setting. On putting the first screw in I found it was much more powerful as well, driving the screw in easily without a pilot hole. The compact size made it a doddle to manoeuvre and around 40 boards were fixed in short order.I occasionally swapped the battery out to use in my Dewalt Jigsaw when 5 boards needed cutting, but after both jobs checked the charge indicator light to find I had 3 bars still. Then used the same battery in the jigsaw and an angle grinder to cut up the old loft water tank and still had 2 bars left.Final job for the day was to fit some shelving brackets and light fittings. Using the same battery still the DCD796N and turning it up to No 2 speed it easily and smoothly drilled through brick and plaster as quickly as it had when acting as a screwdriver. It was very noticeable how much faster it was than my (previously perfectly acceptable Ni MH) old drill.A final check confirms that the battery still had two bars of charge, so impressively efficient to boot.One feature worth mentioning is the light. Usually these are a tiny LED mounted somewhere near to tool head which almost invariably put the mark you are drilling or screwing into in shadow. fail to light the work area. The light on this model is a proper LED, mounted on the front of the battery housing where it projects up to illuminate the whole work area perfectly.It is such a simple idea but made such a difference when working in a dark and often confined space. I used it on its lowest setting which was still more than bright enough, but there is a brighter setting which is equivalent to a torch. Both stay on for a few seconds after you stop drilling to allow you to check your work, or there is a torch setting which leaves the light on until you turn it off.Overall this is a fantastic tool and one I highly recommend.

    Nothing to dislike about this baby. Ease of operation and weight and balance perfect. Construction material looks and feels class. You won’t be disappointed with this purchase. I use the 5ah XR battery which I also use with hedge trimmer and DCF899 impact wrench. Nice one yet again DeWalt

  3. David Liston

    Wow! This drill is truly impressive. I am just a home DIYer who likes to have decent tools without paying a fortune. I had previously bought a DeWalt multi tool which came with 2x2Ah batteries so when looking for a drill I searched for body only and found this one for £71 the cheapest I could find it with a battery was £160.I received the drill next day after order and it came with absolutely nothing but if this means a price like this for a Top of the range item I’m very happy with that.I used the drill straight away on a project I’m doing and found it to be crazy fast compared with my old DeWalt drill and very responsive while also having a precise speed control on the trigger. The drill is also much shorter than my old drill allowing it fit into smaller spaces.Really really happy.2 years on. This drill is absolutely great! Never fails, lasts for ages on a 2 ah battery. The most impressive feature though is the hammer drill, it can get through some pretty challenging masonry jobs. I was putting up some framing in my garage and I was fixing the frame to the concrete floor and started using by makita 240 masonry drill but soon realised the dewalt was more than up for the job and favoured the dewalt for ease. I would absolutely not do without this drill. I have had some cheaper versions and all I can say is get this!!

    Very good drill for the money. You do get bigger and better drills. But this is all you need for the money.Modern brushless motor with quite a bit of power.Perfect for carpenters and fitters. Can handle steel work fine on anything up to 10mm.Wouldn’t recommend for large spade bits or hole saws. As high power draw from the battery could fry the brains.And never use it in hammer mode for drilling masonry. The gear box is only plastic and it melts, locking the drill in permanent hammer mode if you use it.I repair power tools for a living and I see this problem a lot.Even so. If still recommend this drill for the money. Just make sure you register it for the 3 year warranty. As all brushless tools have a habit of playing up after the 1 year warranty.

    My 10 year old De Walt combi drill started having slight problems when moving between standard drilling and the hammer drill function. After reading many reviews i bought this one, and i’m so glad i did. It is a little lighter and more compact than my previous one. Spent the last 2 days driving over 900 one and a half inch wood screws to strengthen a section of standard garden fencing panels and thought the battery was fantastic. 930 screws driven home and the battery pack is still showing 2 bars out of 3. Not bad going so i decided to leave this review. As another reviewer says the battery pack has some slight play when fitted which i had not expected from De Walt but doesn’t detract from its function, Just a little niggle. Did wonder why there was no clip on the drill body to hold a spair drill bit….only yesterday realised that the little black part on the lower body just above the battery was magnetic and is the bit holder. Does a good job, strong magnet holds every thing steady. Very happy with my purchase.

    Very tough powerful drill with good performance plus good hammer action when required. Improved light and better metal chuck. Worth every penny!

    I had a cordless Dewalt drill from years ago and whilst it worked ok it was showing its age. The RPM was low and I often found myself having to get a corded drill out and the batteries were unusual (boot shaped) and never lasted long and now even less.This drill uses the same batteries used by my Dewalt circular saw and jigsaw – I guess I have brought into the Dewalt ecosystem! It is fast enough to take on the jobs I have given it and where in the past I had to resort to a corded tool. The LED light is in just the right place to compensate for any shadow.I had been thinking about this purchase for nearly a year, wondering whether it was worth it. It was 🙂

    My second Cordless Drill have been using my power drill as my old cordless was not up to the job. Ordered the DeWalt DCD796 18v 5.0Ah. It arrived in 3 days excellent timing as I was about to build a wood frame to support the roses. As there was a wall behind the roses I decided I would pin the 100mm half-round posts to the wall. Hoping the DeWalt could drill 7cm into the brick wall so I could use masonry screws to secure the 5cm post to the wall. The DeWalt performed way over my expectations. I completed the 6 post structure with horizontal rails, putting 2 x 7cm wood screws at each wood joint. Took most of the day and the DeWalt battery check, 3 bars, still showed 75% battery power, Job done. I have a great respect for this DeWalt product and will treat it with the respect it deserves.
