Overview
The DEWALT DCD801B is a 20 volt cordless drill/driver rated to 2000 RPM, sold as a bare tool without battery or charger included.
The B suffix in DeWalt's model numbers marks a bare tool, so this listing is the drill body only, meant for buyers who already own compatible 20V batteries. A 2000 RPM top speed and compact listed dimensions of 9 by 3.5 by 7.1 inches point to a general-purpose compact drill/driver rather than a heavy-duty hammer drill. DeWalt's 20V lineup is widely cross-compatible, which is the main reason to buy the bare tool version.
- 20 volt cordless
- 2000 RPM top speed
- 4 amp rating
- Bare tool, no battery included
Who it's for
Fits existing DeWalt 20V battery owners who need an additional or replacement drill body. Not a fit for first-time cordless tool buyers, since no battery or charger ships with this listing.
