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.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Compatible with existing DeWalt 20V batteries
  • Compact 9 by 3.5 by 7.1 inch body
  • 2000 RPM top speed
Cons
  • No battery or charger included
  • Not suited to heavy-duty hammer drilling

Performance notes

A 2000 RPM top speed and 4 amp rating put this in line with general drilling and driving tasks rather than heavy demolition work. Listed dimensions of 9 by 3.5 by 7.1 inches indicate a compact body suited to tight spaces.
