20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless Drill/Driver
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
Brushless motor extends tool life significantly
DeWalt's DCD800D2 kit is the current generation 20V MAX XR brushless drill driver that r/BuyItForLife recommends for homeowners and pros alike. As the successor to the long running DCD791, the brushless motor extends tool life and runtime, while the metal 1/2 inch ratcheting chuck grips bits hard. This is the two battery kit, shipping with the bare DCD800 drill, two 2.0Ah 20V MAX packs, a charger, and a bag, all feeding the enormous 20V MAX ecosystem. Redditors consider it the best balance of power, durability, and value in cordless drills.
