The DeWalt DCD806B is a 20V MAX XR brushless cordless hammer drill with a 1/2-inch metal ratcheting chuck and two speed ranges (0-650 and 0-2,000 RPM). Its headline feature is an anti-rotation system that senses a sudden twist and shuts the tool down when a bit binds, a safety feature most drills in its class lack. It produces up to 1,050 MWO and DeWalt rates it at up to 175 holes per charge. It suits contractors and serious DIYers who drill masonry and wood and want a compact, powerful drill; it is sold as a bare tool, so batteries and charger are separate.

Owners of DeWalt's 20V MAX XR drills generally rate the line highly for power and durability, and the anti-rotation feature is singled out as a real safety benefit. Complaints tend to focus on the bare-tool packaging and the bulk compared with smaller drills.
The DeWalt DCD806B is a 20V MAX XR brushless cordless hammer drill with a 1/2-inch metal ratcheting chuck. It is a bare tool, so the battery and charger are sold separately. It runs on the DeWalt 20V MAX battery platform. It drills and fastens in wood and metal, and the hammer mode handles light masonry such as concrete and block.
The drill is rated at up to 1050 MWO. A 2-speed transmission runs at 0-650 RPM in low and 0-2,000 RPM in high. Hammer mode reaches up to 34,000 BPM. The brushless motor is built for efficient use under load.
The ANTI-ROTATION system senses excessive rotational motion, such as when a bit binds, and shuts the tool down. A red indicator shows when it has engaged. A 3-position LED worklight puts out 70 lumens, and a belt hook is included. The tool is Tool Connect chip ready, and the compatible chip is added separately.
