DeWalt 20V Max XR DCD800 Drill/Driver vs DeWalt XR 1/2-in. Hammer Drill
Buy the DCD800 drill/driver if your work is wood, metal and fastening; buy the DCD1007B hammer drill if you drill masonry or concrete. The DCD800 is the lighter, shorter tool and ships as a kit with batteries and a charger, while the DCD1007B is a bare tool with more torque and an anti-rotation kickback system. Owners praise both for brushless power and the metal ratcheting chuck; the hammer drill's extra weight is the main complaint.
- Choose the DCD800 if you want a compact drill/driver kit with batteries and charger for wood, metal and driving screws.
- Choose the DCD1007B if you drill concrete and brick and already own 20V MAX batteries and a charger.
