Overview
DEWALT builds this tool for general drilling and driving, with a lightweight plastic body. The listing names a 2 amp hour lithium-ion battery capacity and a battery charger.
Low weight and the larger chuck size make it a comfortable all round drill for home projects. The limitation is that the listing is vague on whether a battery ships, and torque is modest.
Who it's for
Household drilling and driving suit a compact tool at this torque. Contractors boring large holes should look at a higher torque model.
Pros and cons
- Compact lightweight body
- Half inch chuck
- Battery count unclear
- Unit count field looks wrong
- Warranty wording generic
Performance notes
Drilling capacity in wood and metal is listed at the same size, which marks the largest bit it is meant to handle. Torque is modest, so large bits will stall. Battery capacity sets run time per charge.
