DeWALT ATOMIC 20V MAX* Brushless Compact 1/2 in. Drill/Driver Kit

The DeWALT ATOMIC 20V MAX Brushless Compact 1/2 in. Drill/Driver Kit is designed for users who need cordless drilling and fastening performance in a compact form. Its brushless motor, two-speed gearbox, and adjustable clutch make it suitable for a wide range of routine workshop, installation, maintenance, and home improvement tasks.

The DCD794D1 kit combines the compact DCD794 drill/driver with a 20V MAX 2.0Ah battery and compatible charger. Its 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck accepts compatible drill and driver bits, while the integrated LED helps improve visibility when working in dim spaces. With a tool-head length of just 5.88 inches, it is particularly useful where a larger drill may be difficult to position.
