Our take on the DEWALT 20V Max 1/2 In. Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver With Flexvolt Advantage (Tool Only)

The DeWalt DCD999 is a 20V Max cordless hammer drill/driver with a brushless motor and a 1/2 in. ratcheting metal chuck. Its FlexVolt Advantage electronics draw extra power from FlexVolt 20V/60V batteries, giving up to 42% more power than with a standard 20V Max 5.0Ah pack. It runs on any DeWalt 20V Max or FlexVolt battery and is sold as a bare tool. It suits contractors and serious DIYers who already own DeWalt batteries and want one drill for wood, metal and masonry. Against the older DCD996 it adds FlexVolt Advantage, a brighter three-mode light and a Tool Connect chip pocket; the trade-off is weight and the need to buy batteries separately.

What reviewers say

Owners rate this drill highly for torque, chuck grip and the bright multi-mode light. Most complaints center on weight and on needing FlexVolt batteries to get the advertised power.

What people mention
  • PowerPraisedOwners say it drives big bits and long screws without bogging down, especially on FlexVolt packs.
  • ChuckPraisedThe metal ratcheting chuck grips bits tightly and resists slipping.
  • WeightCriticisedSeveral owners find it heavy and tiring for overhead or extended one-handed use.
  • LightingPraisedThe three-mode LED is called bright and useful in cabinets and crawl spaces.
  • Battery dependenceMixedReviewers note the headline power gain only appears with FlexVolt batteries, not standard 20V packs.

About the DEWALT 20V Max 1/2 In. Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver With Flexvolt Advantage (Tool Only)

This is a 20V MAX brushless cordless hammer drill/driver with a 1/2 in. chuck, built with DEWALT FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE technology. It delivers up to 42% more power when paired with a DCB606 FLEXVOLT battery than with a DCB205 20V MAX 5.0Ah battery. It is sold as a tool only, so the battery and charger are separate.

The chuck is a heavy-duty 1/2 in. ratcheting chuck made of nitro-carburized metal with carbide inserts for strong bit gripping. A 3-mode LED lights dark or confined spaces and is up to 20x brighter than the DEWALT DCD985's. Spotlight mode shuts off after 20 minutes, which allows longer work time in those spaces.

The tool has a chip pocket that accepts the Tool Connect Chip DCE042. The chip connects with the Tool Connect Site Manager app for asset management on the jobsite. The chip is sold separately.
