Our take on the DeWalt DCD446B 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Compact Stud Joist Drill (Tool Only)

The DeWalt DCD446B is a 20V MAX XR brushless cordless drill built for stud and joist work, with a 1/2 in. keyed chuck and a compact body. Its headline feature is an anti-rotation system that senses excessive rotational kickback and shuts the tool down, with a red LED telling you it has engaged. It drills up to 4 in. holes with a hole saw and 2-9/16 in. with a self-feed bit, and DeWalt claims up to 1,845 max watts out with the DCB2108 battery. It is a bare tool, so batteries and charger are sold separately, and it suits framers, remodelers and electricians who bore large holes in lumber all day rather than shoppers wanting a general-purpose compact drill.

About the DeWalt DCD446B 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Compact Stud Joist Drill (Tool Only)

The DeWalt DCD446B is a 20V MAX XR brushless cordless compact stud and joist drill with a 1/2 in. keyed chuck. It is sold as a tool only. The battery and charger are sold separately.

It delivers up to 1,845 Max Watts Out. With the DCB2108 battery it produces up to 79% more Max Watts Out than with the DCB205 battery. The drill can drive a hole saw up to 4 in. and a self-feed bit up to 2-9/16 in.

An anti-rotation system senses the rotational motion of the tool and shuts it down if the motion is excessive. A red LED indicator lights when the system is engaged. The drill is Connect chip ready, so with a chip (sold separately) it can be tracked and managed in the Site Manager app.

Questions and answers

What is the DCD446B best used for?
Boring large holes in studs, joists and lumber: up to 4 in. with a hole saw and 2-9/16 in. with a self-feed bit. It is a framing and rough-in tool, not a light duty driver.
Does it include a battery and charger?
No. It is the bare tool only. You need a 20V MAX battery and charger, and DeWalt rates full output with the DCB2108 pack.
How does the anti-rotation system work?
It senses excessive rotational motion of the tool and shuts the motor down, and a red LED lights when it engages. It is there to limit kickback when a large bit binds.
Will the DCB205 battery work?
Yes, but DeWalt says the DCB2108 produces up to 79% more max watts out than the DCB205. Expect less power and fewer holes per charge with the smaller pack.
What is the Tool Connect chip for?
It lets you track and manage the tool in the Site Manager app. The chip is sold separately and is not required to run the drill.
How does it compare with a standard compact drill?
It trades some size and weight for much larger hole capacity and kickback protection. If you rarely bore holes over an inch, a regular compact drill is the easier tool to handle.
