DEWALT DCD771C2 20V MAX Drill/Driver Kit

Everyday home drilling with two batteries

Choose this kit for shelves, furniture, hinges and routine repairs when having two interchangeable batteries is useful. It is not intended for concrete or masonry. DEWALT's page conflicts on whether the included packs are 1.3 Ah or 1.5 Ah, so confirm capacity if that detail affects your work.

Who this kit suits

This kit suits everyday household work such as hanging shelves, assembling furniture, replacing hinges and drilling pilot holes in wood, plastic or light metal. The listing says it is unsuitable for concrete, masonry and heavy industrial use, so choose a hammer drill when anchors in brick or block are part of the job.

What comes in the box

DEWALT lists the DCD771 drill/driver, two compact 20V MAX lithium-ion batteries, a charger and a contractor bag. The drill has a 1/2 in single-sleeve ratcheting chuck and two speed ranges, 0 to 450 and 0 to 1,500 rpm. DEWALT identifies 20 volts as the maximum initial voltage and 18 volts as nominal voltage.

Check these before buying

The kit’s stated battery capacity differs between the manufacturer’s feature text and specification table. DEWALT's feature text and the retailer title identify 1.3 Ah packs, while DEWALT's specification table says 1.5 Ah. Confirm the included battery model before ordering if that capacity difference affects your work.

DEWALT rates this drill at 300 unit watts out. The company explains that it uses unit watts out instead of publishing drill torque, so torque figures from the retailer should not be treated as DEWALT specifications or used for a direct comparison.
