Our take on the DeWALT Atomic 20V MAX Brushless Compact Cordless 1/2-in. Hammer Drill/Driver, Tool Only (DCD709B)

The DeWalt Atomic DCD709B is a compact 20V MAX brushless hammer drill/driver sold as a bare tool. It is 6.9 inches front to back and weighs 2.5 lbs, so it fits between studs and overhead work better than full-size DeWalt hammer drills. The brushless motor delivers 340 UWO, and a hammer mode adds light masonry drilling. It suits homeowners and trades who already own 20V MAX batteries and want one small drill for wood, metal and occasional brick. Against the larger DeWalt XR hammer drills it gives up raw power and runtime, and it is not a replacement for a rotary hammer on concrete.

What reviewers say

  • 4.3 / 519 ratings

Owners rate it well as a small, light drill that still has hammer mode. Most praise the compact size and brushless power for its class; the main complaints are that it ships without a battery and is weaker than bigger DeWalt hammer drills.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners like how short the body is for working between studs and in cabinets.
  • WeightPraisedAt 2.5 lbs it is easy to hold overhead for longer stretches.
  • Hammer modeMixedIt handles light masonry and anchors, but owners say hard concrete needs a rotary hammer.
  • PowerMixedThe 340 UWO brushless motor is strong for its size but below full-size XR drills.
  • Box contentsCriticisedBuyers note it arrives as a bare tool with no battery or charger.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. It is sold as a bare tool with a belt clip only. You need a DeWalt 20V MAX battery and charger, which you may already own.
Can it drill into concrete?
It has a hammer mode for light masonry such as brick and small anchors. For repeated holes in poured concrete, a corded or cordless rotary hammer is the better tool.
How does it compare with the DeWalt XR hammer drills?
It is shorter and lighter but less powerful. The XR models deliver more torque and runtime for heavy drilling; the Atomic is built for tight spaces and lighter work.
What chuck does it have?
A 1/2 in. ratcheting chuck that takes standard drill and driver bits.
Which batteries fit it?
Any DeWalt 20V MAX battery. A compact 2.0Ah pack keeps it light; a larger pack adds runtime and weight.
