Our take on the DeWalt 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Drill/Driver (Tool Only) (DCD791B)

The DeWalt DCD791B is a bare-tool 20V MAX XR brushless drill/driver with a 1/2-inch metal ratcheting chuck, two speed ranges (0–600 and 0–2,000 RPM) and 15 clutch settings. It is compact at 6.9 inches front to back and 3.4 lb, with a three-mode LED that includes a 20-minute spotlight. It is a tool-only kit, so batteries and a charger are sold separately. The best new price is $200.21 at usatoolsinc.com as of November 6, 2026, with three stores listing it new.

What reviewers say

Owners of the DCD791 generally rate it highly as a compact, light drill with strong chuck grip and good runtime from the brushless motor. Common complaints center on it being a bare tool and on the LED and clutch feel rather than power.

What people mention
  • Size and weightPraisedOwners like the short 6.9-inch body and 3.4 lb weight for tight and overhead work.
  • RuntimePraisedThe brushless motor is reported to run noticeably longer per charge than brushed drills.
  • ChuckPraisedThe 1/2-inch metal ratcheting chuck is said to hold bits firmly.
  • Bare toolCriticisedBuyers note the lack of battery and charger adds cost for new users.
  • ClutchMixedSome owners find the 15 clutch settings coarse at low torque.
  • LED lightMixedThe spotlight mode is useful, but the light position can cast shadows with large bits.
