- Is this drill strong enough for deck building?
- No. It is a 12V compact drill meant for screws and small holes. For deck boards and lag screws, use an 18V or 20V drill.
- Can it drill into masonry?
- Only with a masonry bit in soft brick or mortar, and slowly. It has no hammer mode, so it is not a substitute for a hammer drill.
- What comes in the kit?
- The kit includes the drill, one 12V Max battery and a charger. Bits and a case are not included.
- Does it accept 1/2-in bits?
- No. The chuck is 3/8 in, so it takes bits with a 3/8-in or smaller shank.
- How does it compare with the older 12V Max brushed drill?
- The brushless DCD701 is shorter, runs cooler and gets more work per charge. It costs more than the brushed model but lasts longer.
- Is it good for cabinet installation?
- Yes. The short body and clutch make it easy to drive screws inside cabinets and overhead without stripping them.
