Cordless Drill DeWALT DCD796P2 18V Li-Ion 5Ah Keyless Chuck 13 mm, 2 Gears, 1.8 kg

The DeWALT DCD796P2-QW Keyless is a compact, pistol-grip cordless drill designed for general-purpose drilling and screwdriving. Weighing 1.8 kg and finished in DeWALT’s yellow and black, the tool combines a small form factor with a two-gear gearbox and a keyless chuck for quick bit changes. With a maximum chuck capacity of 13 mm, it drills up to 40 mm in wood and up to 13 mm in steel. The kit includes two 5 Ah lithium-ion batteries to support extended on-site work and reduce downtime for charging.

Advantages

The DeWALT DCD796P2-QW offers a lightweight build that improves handling during prolonged use while maintaining drilling performance for both wood and metal. The keyless chuck enables fast and tool-free bit swaps. Dual-gear transmission provides a balance between torque and speed for different applications. The included high-capacity batteries prolong runtime compared with lower-capacity cells, and the compact dimensions (67 mm width, 190 mm depth) make the drill suitable for use in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• General carpentry and furniture assembly
• Metal fabrication and light steel drilling
• Installation of fixtures and fittings
• Maintenance and repair work in residential and commercial environments
• Work in confined or overhead spaces where compact size and lower weight matter

How to use

Charge the supplied lithium-ion batteries fully before first use and insert one battery into the drill until it locks. Select an appropriate drill bit or screwdriver bit and secure it in the keyless chuck by hand, then tighten by rotating the chuck. Choose the suitable gear for the task—lower gear for higher torque when driving screws or drilling large holes, higher gear for faster drilling in smaller-diameter holes. Apply steady pressure, keep the drill perpendicular to the work surface where possible, and control speed via the variable trigger. After use, remove the battery and store both batteries in a cool, dry place.

Recommendations

For prolonged jobs, alternate between the two supplied batteries to maintain consistent runtime; use appropriate drill bits for wood or steel to preserve performance and extend tool life. Wear eye protection and follow basic safety practices while operating any cordless drill.
