DEWALT DCD780C2 20-Volt Max Li-Ion Compact 1.5 Ah Drill/Driver Kit

Product Description

DEWALT'S DCD780C2 20-volt max lithium-ion compact 1.5 Ah drill/driver kit comes equipped with advanced technology and innovative features that make it ideal for commercial and residential builders, remodelers, carpenters, woodworkers, electricians, and plumbers. Its extreme durability, performance, and comfort allow users to match the tool to the task at hand, increasing its flexibility for a variety of applications regardless of speed, torque, or power.

Strength and Speed
DEWALT-designed electronics have been built into the DCD780C2's switch to provide maximum life for the tool and battery by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading, and deep discharge during use. The 20-volt's lithium-ion batteries provide up to 35 percent more runtime than existing 18-volt lithium-ion battery technology. The included charger has dual voltage capabilities, and it is compatible with both 12-volt max and 20-volt max DEWALT lithium-ion batteries; the DCD780C2 is also compatible with the 3.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries that are available as replacement packs or come with the premium tools. Plus, the drill's high-power, high-efficiency motor delivers 350 unit watts out of maximum power for superior performance in light and medium drilling applications. A 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts provides superior bit-gripping strength—reducing slippage during high-torque applications—thus providing longer tool life. The drill/driver's two-speed (0-600 RPM and 0-2,000 RPM) transmission allows users to select the appropriate speed for the job at hand and is up to 30 percent faster than current drill/drivers on the market.


Comfort and Convenience
The compact drill's design incorporates a slim handle with contoured grip that extends user comfort during long jobs, and DEWALT's engineering and design team adjusted the product footprint and weight allocation for ideal balance and a lightweight feel, making the 3.4-pound tool easy to maneuver in tight areas. Its 7.5-inch length is half an inch shorter than other currently available drill/drivers. The bright built-in LED work light above the trigger has a 20-second delay that improves visibility in dimly lit spaces.

 Excellent Drill June 21, 2011
Amazon Vine™

Like many guys I've spent time doing construction. My first cordless drill was the original Makita, which lasted me through a couple of battery replacements. Since I'd gotten back to a desk and had lost the wrist strength to a use pro grade cordless, I replaced it with a Black & Decker VPX1212X Li-Ion 14.4-Volt VPX Drill Driver, which is light enough to use and powerful enough to drive screws through 2x4s. For bigger jobs, though its batteries didn't last long enough and took too long to recharge.

Enter the DeWALT. With its lithium ion batteries, it's light enough for me to use for hours. The batteries last for hours, too. I spent all day putting up a fence. The first battery got me through lunch and into the afternoon. I gave out before the second battery did about time to put some fish on the grill. It has plenty of power. It isn't an impact driver drill, which makes is slightly less powerful. On the plus side of that it has an adjustable clutch. When I get tired I rely on that a lot to not overdrive screws. It has two speeds. High is plenty fast enough to run a drill. Low has a variable speed, which is nice on delicate work. The handle is just right for my med-large glove size and can be used by those with smaller hands.

The drill has all the little features I'd expect on a pro model. There's an LED light, a lanyard clip and a belt clip, as well as a clip to hold a screw bit. One nice touch is that the belt clip and screw bit holder are removable and can be switched for left handed users. It has a 1/2 inch chuck.... Read more ›

Amazing power for it's size, but don't trust the clutch October 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase

This is amazingly powerful for such a small tool. Very light and easy to use. It fits into much smaller spaces than the drill it replaced. Like most of the drills I've used though, it's clutch is not to be trusted. During assembly of several face frames using this tool with a Kreg jig, the drill started overtightening and stripping the screws. At the time of failure, the clutch was set at 10 and I had already tightened about 20 screws with no problems. Oh well, I'll go back to snugging the screws with the driver and hand tightening the rest of the way. I just thought I would see if this drill had a more dependable clutch than past drills. It doesn't. If it lasts, I'll still consider this a good purchase.

Great tool -light ,fast,balancedand and versatile. I'm in the machine too build trade and this is a perfect fit to replace my air drills. From pilot drilling to 1/2" drilling,reaming etc. this handles it all. Highly recommended. Batteries hold up good so far after much use, time will tell on that,though.
