DeWalt DCD799B Atomic Hammer Drill vs DeWalt DCD805D2 Hammer Drill Kit
The DCD805D2 kit is the better buy for most shoppers. It includes two batteries, a charger and a bag, so it works out of the box, and it has a faster 2,000 rpm top speed and a metal ratcheting chuck. The DCD799B is the shorter, lighter bare tool, and its 552 UWO and 28,050 BPM suit tight-space masonry work. Owners of the XR line praise its power and chuck grip; the Atomic is liked for its size, but as a bare tool it needs batteries and a charger you may not own.
- Choose the DCD799B if you already own 20V MAX batteries and want the shortest, lightest hammer drill for tight spaces and overhead masonry.
- Choose the DCD805D2 if you want a complete kit with two batteries, a charger and a bag, plus a faster top speed and a metal ratcheting chuck.
