Overview
The DeWalt DCD805D2 is a 20 volt battery-powered drill rated at 2 amps with a top speed of 2000 RPM. The tool itself is listed at 1 pound, placing it among DeWalt's lighter compact drills.
DeWalt's 20V MAX platform spans compact drivers to heavy hammer drills, and the DCD805D2's 1 pound tool weight and 2000 RPM top speed point to a compact, general-purpose drill/driver rather than a high-torque model. The D2 designation typically indicates a kit sold with two batteries, though this listing focuses on tool specs rather than kit contents.

- 2000 RPM top speed
- 1 pound tool weight

Who it's for
Fits users who want a light, maneuverable cordless drill for everyday drilling and driving. Less suited to heavy masonry or high-torque fastening work.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Lightweight at 1 pound bare tool
- 2000 RPM for fast general drilling
- Runs on DeWalt's 20V battery platform
- No stated torque figures
- Not positioned as a heavy-duty or hammer drill
Performance notes
At a 2000 RPM top speed and 2 amp rating on the 20V platform, the DCD805D2 is tuned for general drilling and driving speed rather than maximum torque. The 1 pound tool weight keeps it maneuverable in tight spaces and reduces wrist fatigue during overhead or repeated use.
