                  Lots of power in a compact package
                  Can't beat this little fella. My DeWalt 7.6v died after 10's of 1000's of screws. Well, the drill itself didn't die but batteries are getting really difficult to find. So I made the jump on this deal. I've already sent about 1200 m6 cage nut screws into server racks over a 4ah power pack and I'm still on 2 out of 3 bars. I knocked off I've star because I feel like the highest torque setting (15) isn't high enough. It's still pretty weak when the next up is no clutch drill mode.

                    I purchased the DCD 794 because I wanted a drill/driver that was small, light, and adequately powered. These three qualities make it excellent to keep in your belt and carry out the numerous jobs that don't require a powerhouse of a tool. I've paired it with the DCD 1007 the way every small dog needs a large, brutish enforcer standing in the wings.

                    Arrived Damaged
                    I ordered this on Father’s Day special as a gift and used delivery for the first time ever. Not only did it arrive completely exposed, but the packaging was completely damaged in multiple places? Be careful ordering this item from Home Depot.

                      Nice Balance of Form, Fit and Function in a Compact Drill
                      Just received this drill and immediately put it to use assembling patio furniture. I was quite impressed with the torque and compactness of the drill. The built quality is excellent. Pleasantly surprised that it also included a sturdy nylon tote bag to store the drill, battery and charger with additional room for several drill bit sets. I've owned other battery powered drills, and this is by far the value.

                        Got it for $99 during the Memorial Day sale. It's been amazing! I already own a DCD996 and a 2953-53. Always wanted a small but powerful drill driver and this is just it! So, do the thing! Buy it!

                            This is my second Dewalt drill and I love it! No assembly required. It is smaller and lighter than my previous one. DeWalt makes good products. I have numerous other Dewalt products. This particular purchase was a very good value.
