Description

This DEWALT DCD801B 20V MAX XR brushless drill driver is sold as a bare tool, battery and charger not included.

Product Overview

The DEWALT DCD801B 20V MAX XR brushless drill driver ranks among the most powerful 2-speed drill drivers in the DEWALT lineup. It delivers up to 1050 MWO and drills up to 175 holes per charge, built for demanding jobsite tasks.

The brushless motor eliminates internal carbon brushes and extends tool life. Combined with a high-speed transmission, it delivers up to 109% more power than previous models in the same category, while reducing heat buildup during extended use.

The ANTI-ROTATION System detects excessive rotational movement and shuts the tool down automatically, a useful safeguard when the chuck binds suddenly. The 2-speed variable trigger and metal ratcheting 1/2 in. chuck provide precise control, from fine drilling to heavy-duty driving.

  • Built-in ANTI-ROTATION System
  • 3-position LED light for dark work areas
  • Metal ratcheting 1/2 in. chuck
  • Compatible with 200+ 20V MAX* tools
  • Compact 6.37 in. length

Care and Usage

First Use

Before first use, follow these steps to set up your tool correctly.

  1. Install a compatible 20V MAX battery : slide the battery into the base until it clicks, battery sold separately.
  2. Check the chuck : make sure the metal 1/2 in. chuck is tightened firmly around the bit or driver tip before starting.
  3. Set speed and clutch : select one of the 2 speed settings and adjust among the 15 clutch positions based on the material.
  4. Test the LED : squeeze the trigger lightly to confirm the 3-position LED lights up the work area.

Regular Maintenance

Simple maintenance extends the life of your drill driver.

After each use:

  • Remove the battery before any maintenance
  • Wipe the housing with a dry cloth, no solvents
  • Store the tool in a dry place, away from dust

Battery care:

  • Recharge the battery before it's fully drained to extend its lifespan
  • Avoid leaving the battery in a vehicle exposed to extreme heat or cold

Safety Precautions

For your safety:

  • Avoid prolonged chuck binding : the ANTI-ROTATION System shuts off the tool, but repeated binding can wear the transmission prematurely.
  • Do not exceed the chuck's rated capacity : using bits too large for the 1/2 in. chuck can damage the mechanism.
  • Wear eye protection : drilling debris can be thrown, especially at high speed.
  • Keep ventilation vents clear : dust buildup around the motor increases the risk of overheating.

Storage Tips

Winter storage in Canada:

  • Store the battery at room temperature, ideally between 0°C and 40°C
  • Avoid leaving the tool or battery in an unheated vehicle during winter
  • Extreme cold storage can temporarily reduce battery runtime

Frequently Asked Questions

How many holes can I drill per battery charge?

The DCD801B drill driver can complete up to 175 holes per charge, depending on material and battery capacity. A 20V MAX 5Ah battery (DCB205) offers a good balance of runtime and weight for daily jobsite use.

Does this drill come with a battery and charger?

No, the DCD801B is sold as a bare tool. Battery and charger are sold separately, letting you choose the capacity that fits your needs from the DEWALT 20V MAX battery lineup.

Which DEWALT batteries are compatible with this tool?

This drill driver works with any DEWALT 20V MAX battery, including 2Ah, 5Ah, 6Ah and 8Ah models. Higher capacity means longer runtime, which matters for heavy daily use.

What's included in the box?

The box includes the tool and a belt hook. No battery, charger or carrying case is included with this bare tool model.

What warranty covers this drill driver?

DEWALT provides a 3-year limited warranty, one year of free service, and a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. Équipement Industriel Polar adds a 30-day money-back guarantee on your purchase.

Is this tool suitable for winter use in Canada?

The tool itself performs well in cold weather, but the lithium-ion battery temporarily loses performance at very low temperatures. Store the battery at room temperature between uses during the Canadian winter.

What's the difference between drilling mode and driving mode?

The 2-speed trigger lets you switch between a low-speed setting (0-650 RPM) for precise driving and a high-speed setting (0-2000 RPM) for fast drilling. The 15 clutch settings adjust torque based on material.
