- Is the DeWalt XTREME 12V MAX worth it?
- For light tasks like assembly, shelving and small holes, yes. At $73.79 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it is a low-cost way into a brushless DeWalt kit with two batteries. If you need to drive long screws or bore large holes, step up to a 20V drill.
- How does it compare with DeWalt's 20V MAX drill?
- The 12V MAX is much smaller and lighter, but the 20V drill has far more torque and uses the larger battery platform. Many owners keep the 12V as a second drill for overhead and tight work.
- How long does the battery last and how fast does it charge?
- The kit includes two 2.0 Ah batteries, and DeWalt rates the charger at about 47 minutes. Runtime depends on the task; expect plenty of driving for small screws and shorter runs with spade bits.
- What size bits does the 3/8-inch chuck take?
- It handles round shanks up to 3/8 inch and DeWalt says it accepts spade bits up to 1/2 inch. Bits with 1/2-inch shanks will not fit.
- What comes in the box?
- Two 12V MAX 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger, a belt clip and a tool bag.
- When is it cheapest?
- Prices swing with kits and promotions. The $73.79 eBay price as of November 4, 2026 is near the bottom of its recent range, so it is a good time to buy if you want the two-battery kit.
