I had a Black+Decker 12V drill which smoked out during my backyard fence repair… I ordered this set instead picking up at local big box store since the employees were unresponsive and the products were locked out for me to check out. What a shame! Home Depot!
Anyway, unlike the weakling B+D 12V, drilling 4″ by 4″ fence with this tool felt like poking a ‘heated butter’ smooth. (or ice cream smooth) I had to take painkillers feeling my shoulders burning after installing blinds with the B+D 12V drill but with this one… I felt like I can build a deck myself!
The included 20 V 2Ah batteries charge ~ an hour and equipped with battery level indicator. They are only 2 Ah capacity which might feel a bit short for real professionals but for home maintenance jobs, the batteries are still overkill since… the drills are extremely effective!! Anything takes more than 20-30 seconds to drill with the B+D 12V, those guys can do it < 2 seconds. I was drilling with a budget Ryobi drill bit set and thought the bits were the problem before getting this DeWalt… Nope, it was the drill!!
As I’ve seen some YouTube reviews, the Drill, DCD800 is one of a masterpiece stuff in the market. Although it doesn’t have hammering functionality which may be a must have for a serious home DIYers. But I would rather get a specialized hammer drill than buying a drill can do hammer. The ‘toe’ LED lamp with 20 minute runtime is also great for many situations. I sometimes take this drill to take my dog out to backyard at night.
The Impact driver seems to be a bit of off the grid. I mean, a bonus feature at best, not a main player. It is an old model DCF887 which is still great for my usage but not as great as recent releases. I think they should have included the DCF850 instead of DCF887 to pair up the drill’s quality. Yet still, having not used any high-end impact driver, everything feels butter smooth. Moreover, the drill(DCD850) usually does pre-drilling before screwing any pieces. In fact, I’ve never used the 3rd gear speed setting. Light trigger press with 1st or 2nd gear setting was good enough for slow start. I wish it had more sensitive (more speed control) trigger, though.
One gripe is…. they are too powerful. Any unintended operation, i.e. accidently pressing the trigger, could cause real injury. I guess that’s why the manual says the direction switch must be in neutral (which is ‘safety’ position) when not in use.
Overall, it’s a bit pricey and impact driver is a bit lacking. But shows what ‘high-end’ stuffs is capable of.

Got tired of having all these different types of power tools and decided to go all out on Dewalt. Glad I did. Quality and performance are great and the only regret is that I did not do it sooner!

I bought this after giving my old drill set to a friend. That old one didn’t have variable speeds and I was stripping screws left and right. This also holds the drill bits in better and that charging works better and lasts longer that the old (reliable brand) did. It comes with a sturdy bag that has room for everything plus a small case for drill bits and a variety of drivers.

My husband said it’s light and easy to handle .He loves his set .Smaller than big heavy drills .Normal battery life but you have the extra charged battery.It’s a little expensive but it was a gift and he loves it .He thinks it’s good quality so far .He’s had it a week and keeps finding little things to use it on.We will see how durable it is .

My family and I have been using this drill set for the past several months for various tasks and it has been reliable and strong. My dad had high regard for DeWalt back in the 1980s and I see why. Good stuff!

The Drill works great. I’ve used it for many projects. Good buy. However, the Impact Driver isn’t. It’s speed is not sensitive enough for most applications. It goes from 0 to 100 with a slight touch of the trigger. Not good for driving screws. Wish I only bought the drill.
