Is the DCD791D2 powerful enough for deck building?

Yes for driving screws and drilling pilot holes. Its 70 Nm torque and 2,000 RPM top speed handle deck screws and hole saws, though very large auger bits will slow it.

Does it come with two batteries?

Yes. The kit includes two DCB203 2.0Ah 20V MAX XR batteries, a charger, a belt hook and a kit box.

Can it drill into concrete?

No. It is a drill/driver without a hammer mode. For masonry you need a hammer drill such as the DCD796 or a rotary hammer.

How does it compare with the DCD796?

The DCD796 adds a hammer mode and is slightly longer. The DCD791 is the more compact, lighter choice if you only drill wood and metal.

Will it take standard 1/2-inch bits?

Yes. The metal ratcheting chuck accepts bits from about 1/16 inch to 1/2 inch, including hex-shank drivers.

Is it compatible with other DeWalt 20V MAX batteries?

Yes. It runs on any DeWalt 20V MAX pack, so larger 4.0Ah or 5.0Ah batteries fit and extend runtime.

What reviewers say

4.5 / 522 ratings

Owners rate it highly for its compact size, smooth trigger and brushless efficiency. Most praise the balance and chuck grip; the main complaints center on the small 2.0Ah batteries and the lack of a hammer function.

What people mention

SizePraisedOwners repeatedly note the short body slides into cabinets and between studs.
BatteryMixedThe brushless motor stretches runtime, but the included 2.0Ah packs drain fast on heavy drilling.
TorquePraisedReviewers say it drives lag screws and large hole saws without bogging down.
ChuckPraisedThe metal ratcheting chuck is described as gripping bits firmly with little runout.
LEDPraisedThe three-mode light and 20-minute spotlight are called genuinely useful in dark spaces.
Hammer modeCriticisedBuyers wanting to drill masonry note it has no hammer function.
