The DeWalt DCD996B is a bare-tool 20V MAX XR brushless hammerdrill with a 1/2-inch ratcheting metal chuck and three speed ranges, including a hammer mode for masonry. Its brushless motor is rated for up to 57% more runtime than DeWalt's brushed drills, and the three-mode LED is up to 20X brighter than the previous model, with a 20-minute spotlight shutoff for dark spaces. It suits contractors and serious DIYers already on the 20V MAX battery platform who want one drill for wood, metal and light concrete. Against compact 20V drills it trades some weight and bulk for more torque and hammer capability; against premium flagship drills it holds its own on power but is heavier in hand. Owners rate it highly, and the main complaints are its size and the fact that no battery or charger is included.
