Shares DeWalt 20V MAX batteries with other tools
Cons
  • 2 Ah battery limits runtime on heavy drilling
  • No anti-kickback control on this model
  • Plastic chuck and housing feel less premium than metal
  • Not a hammer drill, so no masonry drilling
  • Compact body means less torque than full-size DeWalt drills

What reviewers say

  • 4.6 / 5180 ratings

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 180 ratings, owners mostly like the small size and light weight for everyday drilling and driving. Complaints center on battery runtime and the plastic chuck.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the short body gets into cabinets and between studs where bigger drills won't fit.
  • WeightPraisedAt 2.42 lb it is easy to use overhead for long stretches.
  • Battery lifeCriticisedThe included 2 Ah pack runs down fast on continuous drilling; bigger packs help.
  • ChuckMixedThe keyless chuck holds bits well, but the plastic body feels less durable than metal chucks.
  • PowerMixedFine for driving and light drilling, but it stalls sooner than full-size 20V DeWalt drills.

Questions and answers

Is the DCD794B good for home use?
Yes. It handles drilling into wood and drywall and driving screws, and its small size suits furniture assembly and repairs. It is not a hammer drill, so leave masonry to a hammer model.
What battery does it use?
It runs on DeWalt 20V MAX Li-ion batteries and ships with a 2 Ah DCB203 pack. Any DeWalt 20V MAX battery fits, and larger packs extend runtime.
How does it compare to the DCD791?
The DCD794B is shorter and lighter, which helps in tight spots. The DCD791 is a larger drill with more torque for heavy boring and hole saws.
Does it have a hammer mode?
No. It is a drill/driver only, with no hammer setting for concrete or brick.
What comes in the box?
Expect the drill, a 20V MAX 2 Ah battery and a charger. Check the listing for whether a bag or case is included.
When is the price lowest?
Its recent low was $72.52 on November 6, 2026, against $98.84 at Amazon the same day. Holiday and spring tool sales are when it typically drops.
