DeWalt 20V Max XR DCD800 Drill/Driver vs DeWalt 20V Max DCD777C2 Drill/Driver

Buy the DCD800 if you want the stronger, more compact pro-grade drill: it has more power, a shorter body, a metal ratcheting chuck and a pivoting 3-mode LED. Buy the DCD777C2 if you want a simple two-battery kit for home tasks and value a long track record of owner ratings. The DCD800 wins on power, size and light; the DCD777C2 wins on included batteries and simplicity. Both use brushless motors and DeWalt 20V MAX batteries.

• Choose the DCD800 if you drill and drive often, work in tight or dark spots, and want the most power and the shortest body in this pair.
• Choose the DCD777C2 if you want a light, simple drill with two batteries in the box for household repairs and occasional projects.
