The DeWALT DCD805NT-XJ is a brushless pistol grip drill designed for efficient drilling in a variety of materials. With a maximum no‑load speed of 2000 RPM and a compact, lightweight body of 1.34 kg, the tool balances power and maneuverability. The drill accepts drill bits up to 13 mm in the keyed/quick‑change chuck and can achieve drilling depths up to 55 mm in wood. Powered by an 18 V battery and rated with an input power of 850 W, the DCD805NT-XJ is suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY users who need a reliable cordless drilling solution.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides improved efficiency and longer runtime compared with brushed designs, while the pistol grip ergonomics reduce fatigue during extended use. Compact dimensions and low weight enhance control in tight spaces and over‑head work. The high maximum speed supports faster drilling and cleaner holes in wood and other materials. The cordless battery power eliminates the need for cords on site and increases portability.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in wood up to 55 mm depth
• General purpose drilling in construction and renovation tasks
• DIY projects and furniture assembly where a compact, cordless drill is required
• Jobs that require frequent repositioning or overhead drilling due to lightweight design

How to use

Fit a compatible 13 mm drill bit into the chuck and secure it according to the chuck type. Install a charged 18 V battery and select the appropriate speed for the material and bit size. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase to higher speed up to 2000 RPM as needed. Apply steady pressure without forcing the drill to allow the brushless motor to maintain efficient operation. After use, remove the battery and store the drill and accessories in a dry place.

Recommendations

Use suitable drill bits matched to the material (wood, plastic, light metals). For prolonged tasks, keep spare charged batteries available to maintain workflow. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Avoid continuous heavy‑load operation beyond the recommended bit sizes and materials to preserve motor life.
