Overview
Drilling and driving with a brushless motor, the DeWalt DCD801B is a half-inch drill/driver sold without a battery. Two speeds, variable control and a belt hook come with it.
A matched wood and metal capacity makes it a general-purpose drill for common materials. The weight of less than a pound in the listing looks like a data error, so treat it with care.
Who it's for
Remodelers and homeowners already holding DeWalt MAX batteries. Anyone who needs hammer drilling or a larger chuck should look at a different tool.
Pros and cons
- Brushless motor named
- Two speeds with variable control
- Same capacity in wood and metal
- Belt hook included
- Battery and charger not included
- Weight figure looks unreliable
- Basic drill, no hammer function
Performance notes
The chuck size and drilling capacity set the largest bit it can hold, and two speeds let you trade speed for control. A brushless motor reduces wear. Battery choice, not listed here, sets run time.
