The brushless upgrade to DeWalt's compact 20V drill line, and the sensible pick if you already own 20V MAX batteries. The brushless motor delivers 340 UWO with up to 57% more runtime than a comparable brushed motor — meaning fewer battery swaps across a day of hanging doors, building deck framing, or running fixtures.
A two-speed transmission covers high-torque driving and fast drilling, and the 1/2" single-sleeve ratcheting chuck holds bits securely under load and accepts larger shanks than a 3/8" chuck. At 7.52" front to back it slips into stud bays and cabinet interiors without the fight a full-size drill puts up.
The LED stays on for 20 seconds after you release the trigger, which is the difference between seeing your work in a dark mechanical room and reaching for a headlamp. The comfort-grip handle is balanced so the tool sits naturally in the hand through repetitive fastening.
Note: This is a bare tool. Battery and charger sold separately — the economical choice if you're already on the 20V MAX platform.
