Dewalt 20V Brushless Compact Drill & Hammer Drill DCD793 & DCD798 – Features
These new compact drills feature a brushless motor that puts out a rated 404 unit watts out of power. How much is that in in-lbs of torque? Good question! However unfortunately Dewalt doesn’t provide torque numbers here in the USA as they probably don’t want users to compare torque numbers with competing brands when shopping. Unit Watts Out is a proprietary method of power output that only Dewalt seems to use. This means you can’t directly compare with other brands who use a more traditional in-lbs of torque number.
Both new drills are also pretty compact as well. The drill/driver is shown above and it is 6.38 inches in length. This makes it more compact than the DCD777 while also having more Unit watts out. This model is also nearly as compact as the Dewalt 20V Atomic drill at only 0.08 inchs longer yet also having more power output than the Atomic drill.
Both models feature 1,650 max RPM (no-load) in speed two.
Hammer Drill Model
The hammer drill is shown above and is is 6.93 inches in length. That makes it over a half inch shorter than the DCD777 and the DCD777 doesn’t even have a hammer drill mode. If you’re wondering why this model is a bit longer than the DCD793, that’s because of the added length to fit the hammer drilling mechanism.
The hammer drill model features 28,050 BPM in hammer drill mode. Get the hammer drill model if you will occasionally drill into concrete. If you don’t ever plan on hammer drilling, then get the drill/driver version as it will be smaller and cost less.
Both models are compact for their class which means they have the power to do plenty of work and fit into tighter spots than larger drills.
Other features include a plastic chuck with metal front sleeve, LED light at the base of the tool, and belt clip installed.
