Let me know what you think, thanks!
i bought the dcd791p2 after watching your video, it was awesome!
Great to hear!
I have the DCD791 and i have to be honest. This is the first "Top of the Line" drill/ driver i've ever had. So, i don't have any other drills other than a cheap wal mart Hyper Tough to compare it to. But, after watching these videos, i think i made the right choice in the 791.
Yes 791 rocks!
@@ToolsElectroDIY isn't the 796 the same drill just with a hammer feature
Very nice review - I just purchased. Thanks a bunch!
Hope you enjoy it!
Awesome vid showing the differences...Loved the break down of the chargers...have not seen that yet and learned something new today. Maybe a short vid on how you modified that camera set up...that looks sweet...
Glad you enjoyed! Like and sub! About the camera, see th-cam.com/video/HMo6qsVBShE/w-d-xo.html
Hi. I have a dcd791 too, new. The reverse/forward button is very loose/sloppy. Did yours have the same issue, or no? Does it matter? How can I repair it? Thanks.
No, mine is fine. Did you contact DeWALT customer support?
I have both 708 and 701. I can say that the 708 has a much softer clutch (a ring with numbers 1, 2, 3, etc on it) at the initial values and it is much better for small fasteners. And why are you drilling in the not drilling mode?
Thanks for sharing your experience. What do you mean by "in the not drilling mode"?
@@ToolsElectroDIY when you drilling clutch on 791 set on 14 and on 708 on 14 too. For drilling is a special regime marked "drill". Sorry, my English is far from ideal.
Hi, thanks for the video. I was wondering if there is a difference between the DEWALT DCD791D2 vs. DEWALT DCD791P2 ?
I don't have the other models.
Yes, the included battery
Just a question. As an farm owner I have quite a few wooden repairs to do over the year. I am choosing between the DCD796P2 (2x5Ah) and the DCD791D2(2x2Ah). I have only this battery pacs available in my country. Can you help me with my decision, thank you
Get DCD791. The 796 is the hammer drill version. You don't need it for wood projects.
Thanks
dcd708 - 1650 rpm
dcd791 - 2000 rpm
Don't you think that from the specifications it immediately becomes clear who has the faster?
It's nice to verify the performance in real life use right?
I can't understand the hate on the 708 ! I have one and it is excellent, I use it all day hanging doors or drilling decks etc with 5 amp battery. Nice and light to hang on belt .As for power ,I tried it on a 14 x 600 mm auger bit i seasoned hardwood in first gear and it powered through it ,wtf more do you want from a compact drill ?
I'm glad you like it. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Some people just repeat what others say.
Hi, just bought the 708 model, I can tell you with a 5ah battery it has enough power. The 791 has a lovely metal chuck and more power, but it is about +60% more expensive (N-XJ pack). It is strange that the 708 is not branded as „atomic" here in Europe.
Glad u like it
@@ToolsElectroDIY I did not say that I like it, but maybe I will...after a few months of working with
@@aicishahow do you find it so far?
@@atanasdionisiev3031 I like it very much, I do a lot of work until I need to recharge it, so the brushless motor is indeed efficient (unlike Bosch 185 Li)
Is the DCD791 drill/driver a hammer drill as well? Thanks.
No, DCD791 does not have hammer feature. That's why it is smaller and lighter than DCD796.
@@ToolsElectroDIY damm it I got to go get a refund now ugh 🤦🏾♂️
@@ClutchSomePopcorn oh sorry to hear that!

Nice vid!👍🏻 I also have the DCD 791. Tremendously powerful drill for its size!
It sure is! I freaking love it!!!
I bought one and the battery was loose when it was on the drill. Is yours that way.
@@billbagwell1105 It is a little, but it doesn’t negatively impact the performance of the tool.
@@Kara3405 Thankyou
I liked your video. Why so many drills if you don’t use the the heavy duty drills for heavy projects.
Yes I do use heavy duty ones that's why I recommended DCD791 in this video.
Ik heb DcD 791 gekocht zonder batarij maar ik weet niet welke batarij moet bestelen kunt mij aanraden erg bedank mooi video
I have the 791 lasted 3 months before the chuck started having seizing issues. Put up with it for 3 more months. Bought a dewalt replacement chuck. Welp wouldn't you know it. You have to field strip the entire drill to change the chuck.
After making sure I didn't lose all the gears and pins I reassembled the drill lasted 5 minutes before changing the gearing, now its stuck in low gear. Have to take apart again. Build quality isn't great for their top of the line and I shouldn't have to bring it in to be service to change the chuck. Built in obsolescence in the design. Won'r support a company that does this.
Bad enough you have to buy a new platform every 10 years and half that time on the batteries.
Moved over to Makita with a nice sale on at HD. Smoother transmission,=less wear, solid Japanese made chuck, all around very nicely made tool. For smaller hands it feels better to grip as well.
Will try again to fix the 791, but if I don't get it to work I have a battery convertor on order to use dewalt batteries on my Makita. Might be taller but its worth it on these smaller profile drills with so far better build quality. At least the makita has made it past 5 months.
Sad because the XR is the best Dewalt makes.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Hello,
may you give me your advice about what drill should i buy for my home only?
actually im watching alot video but still dont know what should i choose and what the best and not heavy and strong with great battery long live!!
Thanks
You should get DCD791, link in description. No need to get the "hammer drill" version if you don't drill through concrete frequently :)
Is it good for drilling through concrete?
yes
Your video production is on point. Love the fast zoom action on your cam lol. Just bought the $129 drill combo and another $129 combo for impact driver. This video is helpful. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
Me gustó la comparativa
gracias
I appreciate your opinion, but I hate it when someone doing a youtube review says don't buy this! There are many people who have different needs than you, and I personally own the atomic drill and impact set, with no complaints. I also have the 796B hammer drill, and I am getting the 791. The plastic chuck is not plastic inside on the atomic. Use a tool properly and you will get good results on any brand. Not every tool was built to do heavy jobs. Just like the guys buying diesel trucks but never haul anything, its all for show if you don't use it. But hey, its your money, buy what you want. That's why I hate it when you say don't buy this. Other than that, good video, nice comparison.
My point is, Their price tags are almost the same, and considering Atomic drill is less powerful, only slightly more compact, why buy it?
nice vid! did you see you can pick up the 791 for $106.50 includes a 5ah battery and charger/bag?
That's a fantastic deal, thanks for sharing!!!
was that new or used at that price and where did you purchase it, thanks ?
@@karenernest6495 go online to home depot,,put the $199 deal in the cart (this includes the drill, a 5ah battery, charger and a bag). Then add a separate 5ah battery to the cart (thiis the free tool choice as part of the deal)....then look at the price, the drill wbattery,charger,phat is $106 and the extra battery is $53 which equals $159...purchase it at $159 for both...Then return the battery for $53 and you get the drill w battery, charger and bag for $106...this is all very simple and a great way to build a tool collection!...now see what the other free tool does to the costs instead of putting the battery in, probably $100 each, and return what you do not want to keep... Once you get the hang of it, just remember you have 180'days to return what you don't want, sell it online, and make the cost of what you keep go down even lower...if it doesn't sell return what you don't want to keep. .. we sell the drill no battery online for $125, the battery and charger, bag for $60, and keep the extra battery for free...free!!! (Actually we make $14, the $159 deal is $171 with tax)
@@karenernest6495 here this video explains it. th-cam.com/video/Gyg7VBcJmgI/w-d-xo.html
I just bought this drill a few months ago with the impact driver combo. I haven't used it yet, but I already love them both. I've got some house projects coming up....installing a peep-hole in my front door, installing a shower door in the bathroom, and undercabinet lights in my kitchen, so it will be a good test for both of them.
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing your experience!
What type of impact gun did your kit come with? I have a 1/2 impact wrench and the same drill in this video. I'm wondering if its even worth it to buy the impact driver.. I just can't see anything the driver could do that the drill couldnt..
@@ltjake0169 It was model number DCF887. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I did use the drill recently to put up a flag pole outside.....worked great!
Can this drill be used for concrete? I live in a semi detached and have a shared concrete wall. Thanks!
You need the hammer drill DCD796

I feel like the atomic is not good for building but in my opinion it good for electrical work.
Yes, slightly more compact and you don't need that much of a torque for electrical work.
Correct
I am looking for a drill that can cut tin quite well. I dont do much drilling either, sometimes I also stack them up too. Tried dcd777 it does pretty good job, but wonder if i should get dcd791 instead
I like dcd791 a lot. This is the model I recommend.
@@ToolsElectroDIY I just replaced my drill with 791, but noticed how weirly it stops the chuck at speed 2 if you release it quickly, its like a big break that hits it, you can hear, and feel it. Also the teeth spin all around when not tightened, does yours do that too? Other than that drill is pretty good, just gonna have to remember to release the trigger slower maybe.
Edit:
Oh nvm it hits weird break if u do short bursts. Also I am very happy with the kit I snagged for $300 canadian, got a really nice bag 887 inpact 791 drill, two 2ah batteries, and charger 👌
@@Volfas we have the same drill and impact!

Whats the difference of this and to dcd 709?
dcd 709 is weaker.
I agree with you on the 708. My 777 is more powerful than the 708, even though they have the same specs.
And at the same price too
@@ToolsElectroDIY I thought my 777 was wimpy and outdated until I actually put it head to head with the 708.
The 777 will snap your wrist way before the 708 will, but that’s also a problem. It doesn’t have quite enough power to drive certain fasteners with the clutch set, but it will snap your wrist without the in drill mode.
The 777 also seems to stay cooler than the more compact models.
I’ve been considering the 791 or the 999.
No the Atomic chuck is not all plastic !!! Only the outer chuck which doesn't matter at all as it helps keep the weight down .
Cool.
Is faster charging *really* better? I suppose, if you only own 1 battery, and are recharging to finish a job. But.....the caveat is....charging slower is actually better for your battery, and will lead to longer overall battery life.
The fast charging impact on battery longevity is negligible, as long as you avoid the deep discharge. And the included charger here is more like a "medium fast" charger. No matter how much care you put into the battery, 3~5 years later you will get a new one. They age.
@@ToolsElectroDIY I build batteries, and components that use them. So...what do I know? On mine, I'm looking into just cracking the cases open, and rebuilding them, with better chemistry cells. So...however you want to use them, it's a free country, have at it. I'm just stating fact. Slower charge is better for the cells. How much better? It depends. But, yes...you are correct. The more you discharge them, before recharging, has a more detrimental effect on them than a fast charge.
@@miker1473 Agree. But the degrade due to faster charging is small trade-off to make for convenience. Again the one included in the kit is not exactly a fast charger anyway :) If you are nervous about fast charging, take a look at the Tesla car super chargers -- The new “V3” is capable of charging some of the Model 3 at a rate of 250kW, which says is fast enough to add 75 miles of range in 5 minutes.
@@ToolsElectroDIY Not sure what chemistry the Tesla batteries are. The technology in rechargable power cells is growing in leaps and bounds. Maybe lithium high voltage, perhaps? I know I'm really liking lithium iron phosphate. Much more stable, and is able to hold the voltage up there, till the "bitter end". The pack has on board smart charging, so, you can't over charge it, or over discharge it, either. I have a 12v 30 mAh pack, that will handle a 23 amp discharge, for 7.5 hours, straight. It only weighs around 6.5 pounds. Starts out at 13.9 v, and gives it up at around 11.5 v. Pretty impressive.
Mike, you have a valid point regarding slower charging of batteries. The main problem I see is the improper care and usage of batteries. Worked with a guy way back in the day, that would run the old NiCds way down. That is very hard on a battery. I realize you fellas know this, but it still happens. Slow charging that heats up a battery, is not good. I have a fan that blows across my chargers on my charging station in my shop. I’ve taken IR readings, and it makes a big difference! Not always practical, but a jobsite fan can be used in the field. I have Makita batteries that are 4-5 years old, and still hold up well. YMMV. Modern Lithium Ion batteries should be stored at half charge or so. I will even “pull” a battery off the charger, before it reaches 100%, every so often. Varied use is the key I believe. I’m done now! Hope it helps! Stay safe and Healthy! ✌🏻👍😁🇺🇸
Even drilling in wood with the hammer mode it still sounds like you drilling in to concrete.
Is it a good or bad thing?
Confused...
Buen taladro, aunque prefiero el que trae el combo de 500 dólares por la función de rotomartillo
Ok thanks
I didn't now Ross David Shwimmer did tool reviews
why David Shwimmer?
No love for the Atomic? 🤔 They are not all that bad. I think DeWalt could have spent a little more time, and really knocked it out of the park. I see You like the 5.0 amp hour batteries. I think they are a solid battery, and along with the newer XR 6.0, are some of the best DeWalt has to offer. I DO NOT like the newer XR 3.0 batteries. Haven’t had any experience with the new 4.0 yet. The newer two stage chargers are winners, IMO. I have and use the 6amp model, and it is a medium to fast charger, and doesn’t heat the batteries up too much. With the dual stage, I can take the battery off when it is at about 80% charged. I do this at times, as I have read it is better for the batteries. Varied use and charge rates are the key. Fast charge sometimes, and a slower charge at other times. YMMV. Stay safe and Healthy! Peace! 👍😁🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I kinda wish dewalt makes atomic cheaper as much brushed dewalt should be, biggest regret, get the best they make, it’ll pay off long run
Yes that's the point!
So no real reason not to buy the DCD708. It’s half the price. For a DIY at home I think it’s fine.
I agree.
I have it
Which one?
maybe talk?
what talk?
@@ToolsElectroDIY lol sorry ur intro was so long I thought its gonna be just music throughout the whole video like some people do 😅
