Dewalt DCD796D2-GB 18 V XR Brushless Compact Lithium-Ion Combi Drill

You can't go wrong with Dewalt in my opinion. The drill size is spot on and fits in your hand perfectly. The weight is great, light enough to do continued work and heavy enough to feel sturdy in your hands. The light is amazing, on the highest setting it's a flood light. The batteries have a light indicator which is awesome and charge very quick. The battery usage time is great and you can get hours worth of hard work out of a full battery. The drill looks the tits. I love the black and yellow combo which is Dewalts signature. All in all really happy with this drill and you too will not be disappointed.

This is an outstanding drill which I am reviewing having owned it since May 2025 and having used it frequently on various tasks and projects. The package of drill + 2 batteries + charger + excellent case is amazingly good value - many DeWalt drills are sold without battery or charger and those can often cost more than the bare drill. The drill is not heavy in the hand and a fully charged battery lasts a long time. It charges quickly. The drill is powerful and the chuck is easy to deal with. The light is bright. If you have never had a drill with a light you will wonder how you ever managed. Particularly impressive is the level of close control over drill speed - the best I have come across and it inspires complete confidence that driving in screws is always under total control. But all the power you could ever need is there if you need it for drilling masonry or metal. The whole thing exudes class and durability. No wonder that you will so often see DeWalt equipment on construction sites. Overall this is definitely the best drill I have owned - a truly professional piece of kit at a very reasonable price.

Just noticed that a well known tool supplier is asking over £300 for this same item. The drill is high quality and with the 3 year guarantee as well this is a no brainer if you are in the market for a new drill for work!

Does everything you could ask of a drill Fantastic battery life, Powerful and reliable Easy 5* !

I've had this drill for 6 months now. The first one had to be returned as the chuck could not hold a drill bit for more than a few a comes before loosening. The second has now decided, after six months, to only work in hammer mode. The selector ring has broken and the chuck now overtightens when you use it to the point you need vice grips to loosen it. Overall, the XR range seem to have made a massive drop in quality over the older models. Considering moving over to Hitachi or Milwaukee from now on.

Compared with my previous drills which I am donating to the V&A this one is very well made and recommended

I had a cheap cordless before. This is brilliant. Works exceedingly well (not given the hammer function much work out though) and the battery life is impressive so far. Update: I have now had this drill 2yrs and 11 months and it still holds up. I love it just as much as day 1. It has a fair bit of use but every week. The battery life remains impressive.

Not had much of a chance to use this yet but from what I can see it is excellent and good value from Amazon as per usual.

المنتج ممتاز ولكنه صيني وليس امريكي مثل ما هو مكتوب عليه

konnte den Bohrschrauber nicht ausgiebig testen, da Ladegerät mit GB-Stecker hat. Beim Anruf der angegebenen Telefon-Nr. wurde ich mehrmals an eine Nr. weitergeleitet, die es nicht gab. Auf mein E-Mail an die engl. Niederlassung wurde mir geraten, den Stecker zu wechseln. Wie sollte das denn gehen? Einfach abschneiden und den anderen Stecker anklemmen und dabei die Garantie verlieren? Leute beim St. Warentest: Die Referenzen bei DeWalt.uk waren in den letzten 60 Tagen 92% negative Beurteilung! Aber: Bei Test.de = Testsieger! Ja geht's noch!?

Powerful, quality, best

Una mala bestia, tiene mucha fuerza, es muy rápido y ligero, pero para trabajar en un taller de aluminio hay que tener mucho cuidado, al mínimo tiene Tanta fuerza que pasa los tornillos. Muy muy contento

Impresionante máquina, una maravilla, puede con todo sin problema, percutor de sobra y atornilla sin problemas ni dificultad, batería 2.0 más que suficiente para uso domestico
