User questions & answers

Question:	can it drill 1/4 holes into plastic
Answer:	----Its not the drill, It's the BIT ----Hanson makes particular bits for drilling plastic, with any drill regardless of voltage, and theyre available most any good hardware store or Tap Plastics. They have a particularly pointed tip, so don't ever attempt to ever use them on wood or metal, as doing so would render it crapp for plastic use from then on. I have 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 in my arsenal, and they pretty much cover any plastic, ABS, PVC, and especially Plexi-Glas projects I encounter. Yeah, they're a buck or two higher than regular bits, but they also wont crack your pretty plexi-glas project all to hell like a standard twist drill bit will.
Question:	Does this drill have a built in LED light
Answer:	Yes, it has a light. But it's worse than useless. It lights the area nearby, but casts a shadow on the spot you are drilling. The glare makes it actually harder to see what you're doing.
Question:	Would you recommend this drill over the DEWALT DC970K-2 18-Volt Drill/Driver Kit (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002RLR0EY)? If so, why
Answer:	I had an oportunity to use the 18V when I installed the railings on my father in laws staircase. I worked absolutely great but I had to keep switching batteries and kept one on the charger. He got it last Christmas. I told myself then the Dewalt was far superior to the two brands of portable drills I was using that I was going to get a Dewalt for myself. Honestly, when I ordered the 20V I assumed it was the same as my father in law had but his was the 18V. I would be happy with either but the 20V I have is smaller in size and lighter than the 18V that he has. Plus the 20V lithium batteries last a long long time before you have to recharge but then again replacement batteries are expensive. I just used the 20V to build my garage and so far I've only swithed batteries 5 times and that includes all the siding, drywall, wire routing. BTW I use the new star bit screws for everything they are far superior to phillips and I have given all my boxes of phillips screws away; along with my two "other brand" cordless drills.
Question:	Does this unit come with one or two batteries
Answer:	As of March 22, 2020 the Description clearly says it comes with two batteries... "...The tools weighs 3.6 pounds and contains 2 20 volt Max compact Lithium ion battery packs "

User questions & answers

Question:	How long does the battery take to charge
Answer:	It took me about 1-1/2 hours for each battery. The light blinks when it's done. They are great and you will like them with the 20v drill.
Question:	Do all 20v Dewalt batteries fit this tool
Answer:	Yes
Question:	On amazon, dcd791d2, the product description says "kit" (tool, batteries, charger, case), in the product details it says "bare tool". Which is it
Answer:	The "kit" as advertised on Amazon is the drill, charger, two batteries, and case. At $189.00 it is a great deal. The drill,etc. is terrific.
Question:	What is the torque rating of this drill
Answer:	Another way to figure out a torque rating of a Dewalt drill is to go to Dewalt's EU site, pick United Kingdom and look at the specs. They list both torque specs in this case. MAX is 70 nm soft is 27 nm converting to 619.55 in-lb and 238.97 in-lb. Hard torque is instant torque delivered. Usually at the start of an application; whereas, soft torque is applied throughout the application like when driving a screw.
Question:	does it come with a light
Answer:	A separate 20v utility light is available for around $15 which utilizes the same 20v L-I battery. I bought one last year and am very happy w/ it. It uses multiple led bulbs and spreads a more diffused light than the average flashlight, but I use it extensively out of doors and for low light repair projects.
Question:	Can i leave it charging over night without harming battery
Answer:	Yes you can but you should not for long periods of time.Its a simple thing every battery has a limited amount of charges that can be done.While Lithium Ion does discharge slowly they do discharge and will then waste a charge.Also the charger likely has an overcharge protector but that uses power too if not then it is always charging hence wasting more power.Your charger should take an hour with those tiny batteries add an hour charge time each mah on battery pack.
Question:	Does it come with charger and battery
Answer:	Yes, charger and battery are included. Battery is long duration, lasting multiple tasks.
Question:	Is this drill sized and weighted well for use by a woman
Answer:	I use it and I am a woman with small hands. It is not as heavy as my husband's regular drill but it is more sturdy than my previous B&D driver/drill. I prefer this one even though it is a bit wider in the grip and a tad heavier. It's my favorite gadget.

What''s in the Box

Strength and Speed

DEWALT-designed electronics have been built into the DCD780B’s switch to provide maximum life for the tool and battery by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading, and deep discharge during use. The 20-volt max platform provides up to 35 percent more runtime than existing 18-volt lithium-ion battery technology. The drill’s high-power, high-efficiency motor delivers 350 unit watts out of maximum power for superior performance in light and medium drilling applications. A 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts provides superior bit-gripping strength—reducing slippage during high-torque applications—thus providing longer tool life. The drill/driver’s two-speed (0-600 RPM and 0-2,000 RPM) transmission allows users to select the appropriate speed for the job at hand and is up to 30 percent faster than current drill/drivers on the market.

Comfort and Convenience

The compact drill’s design incorporates a slim handle with contoured grip that extends user comfort during long jobs, and DEWALT’s engineering and design team adjusted the product footprint and weight allocation for ideal balance and a lightweight feel, making the 3.4-pound tool easy to maneuver in tight areas. Its 7.5-inch length is half an inch shorter than other currently available drill/drivers. The bright built-in LED work light above the trigger has a 20-second delay that improves visibility in dimly lit spaces.

DEWALT’s line of 20-volt max lithium-ion tools features improvements in engineering and design to provide the performance, the ergonomics, and the innovation that contractors require.

User questions & answers

Question:	whats does type 1 vs type 2 mean on the side of the drill
Answer:	From the Dewalt website: The type number identifies the multiple versions of a specific model number. As it relates to service parts, a type 1 can be completely different than the type 2 version of a particular model number. The type number can and usually is as important to know as the model number in order to ensure you receive the correct service part(s). Every model number can have multiple type numbers or a little as no type number.
Question:	does this drill have a hammer setting
Answer:	Nope
Question:	Will the 20 volt li-ion dewalt battery interchange with b&d 20volt li-ion batery
Answer:	DeWalt is built by Black and Decker. The old style batteries were interchangable but the new 20 volt batteries have different tabs to prevent this. They do this to prevent people from buying a $20 black and decker battery and using it on all DeWalt tools. This forces people to buy the more expensive DeWalt battery if they have DeWalt tools.
Question:	Can this go in there
Answer:	Obviously this question was posed by someone who doesn't have an a native command of the English language, so in trying to understand the question, I think the question is "Does this tool come with the battery?". That's what is meant by the question "can this go in there?". That's my guess anyway. So, to answer the question, no, it doesn't come with the battery. It's a bare tool only, so no, it won't work without you buying a battery separately.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have a battery life meter on it
Answer:	It does not have a battery life meter. It does come with two batteries so it's not to big of an issue.
Question:	How long does battery last
Answer:	Batteries that come with unit are small but very light, excellent for my usage. DeWalt sells these 20v packs in 3 different capacities these are the smallest ones. How long they last is a HUGE variable based on what the task is so that will be impossible to determine for someone else. In my experience these small ones last about the same as the 18v Ni-Cad Dewalt system (18 yrs old) I replaced with this set.
Question:	Why do two Lithium ion batteries go for $170. and the kit with two batteries a charger the carry case and the drill go for
Answer:	it depends what batteries you're looking for. The batteries are where dewalt is making the real money (other than china vs us made power tools) This kit comes with 1.3AH batteries, I believe these are the smallest batteries offered. Think of them like gallons of gas. 1.3 isn't going to go as far as the 6.0AH. When dewalt adds in other stupid options like Bluetooth, it jacks up the cost. Unless you're a contractor running drills all day, these two batteries should keep your project moving along.
Question:	So is brushless better than the regular DW drill
Answer:	Yes. First off, it is more efficient than brush-ed. When you run it with a light load, it draws less power. Dewalt says you get up to 30% more runtime from the same charge. The better efficiency is a fact, and the 30% is possibly conservative. There is a youtube video of a guy drilling 1/2" holes into a board with a brushless and a traditional dewalt drill, and the brushless wins 2 to 1. it drills some 190 holes vs the brushed just 92. The second advantage: there are no brushes to wear out and replace. TBT I have many brush-ed tools and as a DIY-er I never had to replace the brushes on any of them, but this may be an advantage to a pro or heavy user. A third advantage, the tool can be built more compact, or more powerful (given the same size)The only advantage of the "brush equipped" design:that it is simpler. The brushless changes the direction of the Dc current using electronics instead of a mechanical commutator, so that is an extra source of possible failure
