Bought years ago as part of a set. Solid performer after lots of use over the years. Masonry, metal or augers aren't a problem for it.
Can't fault it.

I own most of Dewalts 18v platform, but this DCD 796 is my most used tool by far. I have owned makita, 2 generations of Milwaukee and now DeWalt, and this is the best I’ve owned so far - great tool.

Reluctantly I got one of these to try out instead of my usual Makitas. Have to say, although I didn't expect it to perform as well, it exceeded my expectations. Sturdy bit of kit and battery life was exceptional. Does mean carrying 2 chargers now though to run my Makita radio too. I think De Walt have got so much better these last few years. Nice. Still prefer Makitas though.

Just brilliant. Had mine 4 years and still works like new despite all the abuse it takes. Has been dropped in wet cement, dropped from height and used everyday. Has the original 4ah battery that still last days for general use. Drains faster when drilling heavy steel but not by much. Everything is good. Not as heavy and cumbersome as the 3 gear model but also very powerful whilst still being lightweight and compact. Perfect for roofing. Can't recommend enough.

It’s a dewalt so build is ok, it’s nothing to sing and dance about, my personal experience with this is, it’s not up to much and I don’t use as much because apart from pilot holes it sit it’s life in the tool box, I’m not in a rush to buy another.

Very good drill, powerful enough to do most tasks without breaking your wrist, very good value for money. Only negative point for me personally is that after two years of use, it's cracked both sides on the joint between the handle and the drill body itself... currently waiting to see if it's covered under the warranty but I'm not holding my breath.

The 796 is my go to cordless at the moment, it’s got the perfect balance between power and weight, even with a 5ah battery attached. The option to use the LED as a floodlight is always an added bonus when you’re stuck under some stairs, working on a consumer unit and your head torch dies!

I've had this drill for a while now. Like most of Dewalts tools, I can't fault it. Changing the drill bit is simple. The magnet on the side of the drill holds another drill bit which is handy if you are drilling a tiled wall. Changing from hammer drill to drill is simple. Changing the battery is simple, and it performs very well.

Hi. This is Ben Curry from Electrical Innovations in Derby. You're watching Tool Talk. I'm going to review a DeWalt 18 Volt Brushless Drill with a Bosch 28 mil speed bit in it, so here goes.

It's the Brushless 18 Volt XR with a four amp power battery. I'm using the Bosch Twisted [inaudible 00:00:29] that's part number 711, 28 mil hole saw. Now, that was a sharp hole saw, not drilled virgin hole saw we call it. Not drilled a hole. We've done one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 holes off a single battery with one Bosch, sorry, one DeWalt single battery from this drill.

I don't know if that's good or bad. I bet all of you guys out there have got similar tools, so show us what you got. Show us what you're made of, and let's see what other drills have a similar capacity. Okay, guys. This is Tool Talk. This is the DeWalt, I don't even know what it's called, DeWalt smashed to bits drill that we've had a while. Trusty one, this is. It's seen a lot of hammer. We've had a lot of use from it. It's the DV795 on that one. There you go. Thanks very much.
