DeWalt DCD801B 20V MAX XR Drill/Driver vs DeWalt 20V Max DCD777C2 Drill/Driver

Buy the DCD801B if you want the stronger, more controlled drill: it has more power (1,050 max watts out vs 340 unit watts out), a metal ratcheting chuck, an anti-rotation kickback shutoff and a three-position light. Buy the DCD777C2 if you want a complete, lighter kit with two batteries and a charger in the box. Owners rate the DCD777C2 highly for light and medium jobs, but the DCD801B is the step up for heavy drilling, big hole saws and auger bits.

• Choose the DCD801B if you already own 20V MAX batteries and need maximum power, a metal chuck and kickback protection for demanding drilling.
• Choose the DCD777C2 if you want a ready-to-use compact kit with batteries, charger and bag for home and light trade work.
