Thanks for a great review, made my mind up on the dcd796 drill set. Very comprehensive real world review it's appreciated from a novice DIYer that's about to board a garage loft and need a good cordless drill!
In 2021…£127 got me the dcd 796 with a 5 Ahr batt, charger and case from Amazon. It is very powerful for a diy machine and can totally bury 4 inch screws in wood. More than adequate for carpentry and light trade use. Only if you really must bury huge lag bolts then the 996 is a more powerful option. The 796 combi is also quite compact for tight cupboard spaces and it has a good clutch for small fasteners. It’s a winner for me.
Nice review, mate! I think that the new DeWalt batteries are quite good. I have the new 3AH and it seems to hold charge like the old 4AH. What I mostly like is - that it fits much tighter to the body and the notorious Dewalt battery wobble is gone. It is not really small and light, but feels really well made.
@Tommy Harris just the bare drill the battery and charger came off my other dewalt that self destructed. A few months on i can confirm this new drill is a powerhouse really brillient
My dewalts never had issues with the Chuck and it's 4-5 years old now... It wasn't a top end one, got it for €120 with two small batteries. Love the drill though gotta say, although when I was doing up my home, slabbing the ceilings the plaster did make a mess of the Chuck and I ended out cleaning it out and giving it oil.
Thanks for this review, it was exactly i am looking for. Now these 2 drills are for the same price (i mean more or less) so i just wanted to know which one i should buy, as we already learned it nowadays newer does not mean better.
Just buy a 796 great drill if you use it properly. I have one and use it daily its a good drill. This man's just click bait. If all dewalt stuff is crap like this philistine preaches then why are they still in business and why is this idiot wasting his precious life slagging stuff off..... I've been using hilti dewalt makita metabo bosch altas copco tools for 30 odd years at work never had a problem...
Bravo! Excellent review and test of this drill. I bought the Milwaukee 2902 hammer drill, which I believe is the one you have on the shelf. I am considering returning it because like you stated the clutch setting doesn't go low enough for small screws. Also the light is in a position that makes it useless and there is no bit holder.I will say I do like the compact design and feel of quality though. I have a few questions for you if you don't mind about the dcd796 as I am considering replacing the Milwaukee with this drill. Where is this model made? Does it come with a bit holder?what are your thoughts on it now after owning it for a couple months? I don't like the fact that it doesn't come with a handle do you know if they make one that fits it? Thank you
First, the drill is made in Czech Republic. Yes it comes with a bit holder (Magnetic). It's a great workhorse drill that so far hasn't failed us the light is pretty decent on it too. Yes, they make a handle that fits it, I just checked using the one from the Dewalt DCD996. Thank you for the kind words and hope these answers help you.
I do DIY here and there. I keep my drills for 7 to 8 years. I have a Makita drill but the batteries are not so great now. Would you say 796 is good enough or the new model you have worth the investment?
Hey Milton, keep up the great content! 👍🏻👍🏻 Quick question, does this drill have a “stagey” trigger to you? I bought a kit with the dcd996 and the trigger on it seems to have like 5-6 different “levels”. It doesn’t seem smooth at all, no matter how gently I pull the trigger. Thanks for your time!
Hello. I can get a dcd 796 but it comes with a 2 ah battery. Should I push to get a 5 ah battery. At that price then the alternative (£20) more is a milwaukee m18 fuel fpd. I am a home DIY person. Main use is general maintenance and odd drilling into concrete. Any thoughts?
Hi John, i am about to buy the 795. Please tell me, is the 795's chuck mounted with screw? Because i don't want to buy any drill with chuck that i can not remove easily as i did before when the time comes. And it will.
Good review, I have the dcd795 from 2016 and that part that is painted grey to look like metal is definitely metal on this drill, Dewalt doing a bit of cost saving on production by the sounds of it, Mind you the kit I bought was €300 back then for drill charger 4ah and 2ah in a case,
Hi mate, just found your channel. You seem to be the man to ask about drills. I'm looking to get my first house soon and want to purchase a good drill. I don't mind paying for quality and would rather spend more for something that will last a good few years. I like the look of the Dewalts. What's the best one available? Cheers.
I've never understood why Milwaukee is so hard to get hold of in the UK - particularly M18. I just can't justify investing in M18 when I can't get hold of half the tools, and the other half are overpriced in the UK
@@freddyfrog3192 Oh good idea, why didn't I think of that? Obviously I've looked... and you can get *some* Milwaukee in the UK, but many aren't available here and many others are WAY overpriced compared to the US
Does the 796 make a rapid clunking sound when it brakes in 2nd gear? I briefly had a milwaukee that didn't really make any noise when braking, but now I've bought this DCD796 and I'm wondering whether the noise is normal or not.
This is funny I've picked at the led switch sticker for 10 minutes and I car't get it to budge please tell me how to remove it..... I think you need to find something to do after work if you work god you have a sad life....
I know I good idea.... Let's use a tool for thousands of hours then write a review about it or buy one off amazon cheap out of a kit and talk crap about it shame on you....

on the ratchet problem. after you tighten the chuck click it back one click and it locks it in. only found this out a month ago.
Thanks, based on this review I've just bought one £77 free delivery. great honest review thanks saved me a right load of messsing about.👍👍

Thank you for your review. It made my descicion much easier.
I just recently got a Dewalt 20 volt brushless drill/ driver. Model DCD791 1/2 in. drive.

Nice review fella, wasn't sure which one to spend my money on will be getting this. Cheers 👍
I had a 796 and the silver housing is definitely metal and not plastic!
So much untruths in this video i agree
I could hear the metal on metal contact noise over TH-cam and thought he was wrong!
@@garthqueen he is 9 times out of 10 wrong click bait you know
great review 👍

@@littlemilto6563 👍Thank you
Dcd 796 is made in the USA with global materials. I have that one it’s fantastic!
The DCD796 is made in different countries based on where you buy it.
where can i get a tool for dewalt 797 hammer drill ...series 1... to remove the center screw for chuck
The way you put your hand on it to apply pressure blocks the ventilation
No a clue what he is on about once again....
@@freddyfrog3192 been reading your sarcasm , you need to chill pal 🏴
@@davedaniels8211 knows it all he does,cant remember seeing his review though🤣
you can do a review or a test at Bosch GSR 18V EC (Brushless) vs. Dewalt DCD 795/796?
Thanks!
The GSR is a drill-driver only & the GSB is a combi.
I like my dcd 796 cool review
Absolutely 💯 excellent review 👏 👌 Love it so much I liked and subscribed 😀
Have one of these 796, there a great drill, l have two 5Ah batteries just bought the 996 bare drill, lot more power.
I do DIY here and there. I keep my drills for 7 to 8 years. I have a Makita drill but the batteries are not so great now.
Would you say 796 is good enough or the new model you have worth the investment?
Great vid ! but gotta admin you confused me even more .. I was going for the 795 originally, they are the same price around here, now I dont know :))
Hi Milton. Have you had any issues with the DeWalt keyless chucks letting go of drills/bits when drilling multiple holes?
No he said as the chuck has a rachet...
Hey Milton, keep up the great content! 👍🏻👍🏻
Quick question, does this drill have a “stagey” trigger to you? I bought a kit with the dcd996 and the trigger on it seems to have like 5-6 different “levels”. It doesn’t seem smooth at all, no matter how gently I pull the trigger.

Buy the time you wear the chuck out the motor will be burnt out.....
Good review,
I have the dcd795 from 2016 and that part that is painted grey to look like metal is definitely metal on this drill,
Dewalt doing a bit of cost saving on production by the sounds of it,
Mind you the kit I bought was €300 back then for drill charger 4ah and 2ah in a case,
After watching this video I agree with the comments that say this guy doesn't know how to use tools properly.

Buy hilti job done for ever.....
You see sir this man car't comment on hilti as he car't afford it..... Lol
My partner bought this for £60 from toolden. He said it's a great drill.
I've never understood why Milwaukee is so hard to get hold of in the UK - particularly M18. I just can't justify investing in M18 when I can't get hold of half the tools, and the other half are overpriced in the UK
You can get milwaukee anywhere in the UK..... Just look
@@freddyfrog3192 Oh good idea, why didn't I think of that?
Obviously I've looked... and you can get *some* Milwaukee in the UK, but many aren't available here and many others are WAY overpriced compared to the US
@@audigex you clearly haven't looked as those tools are everywhere. Do a Google search and your find ton's.
so what is the best cordless drill you have tested?
He car't afford proper stuff like hilti...
What are your thoughts on this with a 2AH battery?
Does the 796 make a rapid clunking sound when it brakes in 2nd gear? I briefly had a milwaukee that didn't really make any noise when braking, but now I've bought this DCD796 and I'm wondering whether the noise is normal or not.
How did that work out ? I recently bought the same drill and experiencing same issue
@@gslayer05 Yeah it seems to be fine. Other people have said it happens.
Does it screw/drill holes who cares about the noise....... God you are all sad...
@@freddyfrog3192 It could indicate a fault you idiot
@@freddyfrog3192 Freddie where abouts in the see is that gold?
Can you please explain where the serial number is on the Dewalt DCD796
It should be on a sticker on the side of the tool's housing, and the number should be at the bottom of that sticker.
It's in the battery housing. Remove the battery and you will see it
No offense intended but its helva long winded, nice if you could just get down to the facts. But thanks for the review, it was kinda of informative.
That cellar isn't too dissimilar to Josef Fritzl's gaff. Christ! You are dangerous with tools but thanks for the heads up on Amazon barebones units
👏👍😏
Price sir
Just picked one up for £50
how wish i have tools like this...
because i have no money because i live in poor pamily
No comments that say “get the DCD999”?
The 796 is handier because it's smaller it's fits into places better.
Are you wearing half shorts/half trousers in the cellar ..? 🤔
I know I am.....
You sir have no idea how to use power tools!
Well said man's a idiot....
A good drill until it gets stuck on hammer.
Then you send it in and you get a new one within 8 days done that 2 times
@Tommy Harris i think it was just bad luck
@Tommy Harris nah twice in a few weeks but its going for a year now
This is funny I've picked at the led switch sticker for 10 minutes and I car't get it to budge please tell me how to remove it..... I think you need to find something to do after work if you work god you have a sad life....
So you know better than a 6.5 billion dollar corporation... lol
Man, wtf are you so bitter about
I know I good idea.... Let's use a tool for thousands of hours then write a review about it or buy one off amazon cheap out of a kit and talk crap about it shame on you....
That is stupid cheap... are dewalts made in china nowadays?
yes, mine is made in PRC. and i leave in Europe, Romania.
Iphone also is made in china
almost all power tools are made in China nowadays only tools made by Fein, Hilti and Festool are made for the most part in the west
hannibal smith my hilti is made in china :(
My 796 is made in USA. Don't know where all they sell them though.
Instant push dislike how you hold tool when driling ... Covering all vents -_- there parts who need air to keep cool
