DeWalt DCD780B - 20V MAX* Lithium Ion Compact Drill / Driver (Tool Only)

DEWALT’s new 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion compact drill/driver is ideal for professionals including remodelers, carpenters, cabinetmakers and installers, woodworkers, electricians and plumbers.  This product offers the performance, ergonomics and innovative features they expect from DEWALT power tools and accessories. To deliver comfortable and ergonomic drill/drivers, the new DEWALT DCD780B unit incorporates a slide-on Lithium Ion battery pack (not included with this 'bare tool'...if you are looking for the kit with 2 batteries and a charger see DC780C2), which allowed engineers to develop a slim handle design. This new tool also alleviates professionals’ frustrations with performance, speed and productivity current drill/drivers on the market offer. For faster speed of application, the DCD780C2 delivers 2,000 RPMs, and for optimized drilling and fastening, the compact drill/driver features a high-speed transmission, which includes two different speed settings that deliver 0-600/0-2,000 RPMs.

The new compact drill/driver is 7-½ inches long, which is ½-inch shorter than current drill/drivers on the market.

To provide professionals with a reliable solution, DEWALT designed the compact drill/driver to include a ½-inch ratcheting chuck that helps to reduce bit slippage during high torque applications. The compact drills also each include a belt hook and on-board bit storage on the battery of the tool to save time otherwise spent locating and holding bits.

Additionally, DEWALT-designed electronic features are built into the switches of all 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion tools and lights. These electronics provide maximum life for the tools and batteries by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading and deep discharge during use. The charger for each of the items in the system has dual voltage capabilities, and it is compatible with 12 Volt MAX* and 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion DEWALT batteries.
