Our take on the DeWalt DCD805B 20V Max XR Brushless Cordless 1/2" Hammer Drill/Driver, Bare Tool

The DeWalt DCD805B is a bare-tool 20V Max XR brushless hammer drill/driver with a 1/2-inch metal ratcheting chuck. It delivers up to 40% more unit watts out than the DCD796B it replaces and is about half an inch shorter, at 7 inches, so it fits tighter spaces. Two speeds (0-650 and 0-2,000 rpm) and 34,000 blows per minute cover drilling, driving and light masonry. It suits tradespeople already on the 20V Max battery platform who want a compact hammer drill; the bare tool means batteries and charger cost extra, and it lacks the anti-rotation and kickback controls some premium rivals offer.
