- Is the DCD800 good for home use?
- Yes. It is light, easy to control and handles drilling into wood, metal and plastic plus most screwdriving. It is more drill than a casual DIYer strictly needs, but it will last.
- Can it drill into concrete?
- No. It has no hammer function, so it is not made for masonry. Use a hammer drill or rotary hammer for concrete and brick.
- What is included in the kit?
- The drill, two 20V MAX 1.7Ah batteries, a charger and a belt clip. It does not include drill bits or a case in most kits.
- How does it compare with the DCD805?
- The DCD805 adds a hammer mode and is slightly heavier. Choose the DCD800 if you only drill wood and metal; choose the 805 if you need occasional masonry work.
- Are the 1.7Ah batteries enough?
- They are fine for light drilling and driving and keep the tool light. For long drilling sessions, larger 20V batteries give noticeably more runtime.
- Does it have a light?
- Yes. An LED worklight sits above the trigger and lights the work area, which helps in cabinets and dim corners.
- Where is the Dewalt DCD800E2 (2x1.7Ah) cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $269.00, as of our latest check.
