DEWALT DCD796P2-GB DCD796P2 Combi Drill 18V XR Brushless Compact Lithium-Ion (2 x 5.0Ah Batteries), 18 V, Yellow/Black, One Size & DCS355N-XJ 18V Li-Ion Cordless Brushless Oscillating Multi-Tool

I DO NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT IT HAD NO BATTERY, YET IN THE PICTURE IT DOES. YOU THEN WANT £60 EXTRA FOR A BATTERY AND CHARGER

The drill is fantastic! When I say fantastic I really mean...FANTASTIC.Its build is of the best I have used and over the decades I've gone through dozens of drills, You name em Bosch,makita's, stihl,Milwaukie's ect and this is by far the best built and also the strongest.Priced on "Other retailers" at £300 I couldnt find it anywhere that was within my £250 budget which I find is enough to pay for a cordless drill, Then I looked on Amazon and saw it at a shockingly £225..B00m I snapped it up.Its very fast, very sturdy, looks Amazing! and has TWO 5ah batteries and I cant tell you how usefull that is when your busy and the battery dies whilst the other one is in the charger and fully charged!There is two little things that I didnt like thou?They where its weight, I am a very big built fella 25 stone and using this was easy, however it is really heavy! but that also reflects on the quality of its build like ultra-strong allow and steel where needed, Dont forget these are really well built and the parts in them will Always be fairly heavy due to the build, So its 6 of one and half a dozen of the other...One last thing that bugged me was the battery,It sits into the charger perfectly its a bit fiddly to figure out how to slot it in at first but when its in the drill it really moves.I would say it moves as much as one mil which may sound nothing but it is when you're talking about the quality of the build as it just slightly rocks left and right, IF you have no issue with that then this is THE Perfect drill for you.Overall I would give the drill and charger/batteries a 8.5 out of ten, Had the battery fitted better id of given it a 9.5...This is something that Dewalt need to look into, Also DONT FORGET about the 3 year warranty on it! You will need to have the charger and the drill with it as it asks for serial numbers on both also the model number on Amazon which is "DCD796P2-GB" but ul only need to use the GB when you're asked when you go to register the drill for the warranty.Many thanks.

Wow! This drill is truly impressive. I am just a home DIYer who likes to have decent tools without paying a fortune. I had previously bought a DeWalt multi tool which came with 2x2Ah batteries so when looking for a drill I searched for body only and found this one for £71 the cheapest I could find it with a battery was £160.I received the drill next day after order and it came with absolutely nothing but if this means a price like this for a Top of the range item I’m very happy with that.I used the drill straight away on a project I’m doing and found it to be crazy fast compared with my old DeWalt drill and very responsive while also having a precise speed control on the trigger. The drill is also much shorter than my old drill allowing it fit into smaller spaces.Really really happy.2 years on. This drill is absolutely great! Never fails, lasts for ages on a 2 ah battery. The most impressive feature though is the hammer drill, it can get through some pretty challenging masonry jobs. I was putting up some framing in my garage and I was fixing the frame to the concrete floor and started using by makita 240 masonry drill but soon realised the dewalt was more than up for the job and favoured the dewalt for ease. I would absolutely not do without this drill. I have had some cheaper versions and all I can say is get this!!

The last time I bought a cordless drill a few years ago it was between this and a much cheaper Bosch. I decided on the Bosch and then regretted it. The chuck used to visibly wobble meaning it wasn't properly centered. The batteries died after a really short time. I've bought this now which I should have done in the first place so I've ended up spending more than I would have done if I'd just trusted my gut. The De Walt instantly had the feel of high quality. Something that the Bosch didn't. It's no wonder that all tradesmen seem to use them.
