DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless 1/2 in Drill/Driver (Tool Only) DCD801B | 2-Speed, Anti-Rotation

Overview

Meet the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless 1/2 in Drill/Driver, model DCD801B. This tool‑only unit blends robust power with precise control for demanding drilling and driving tasks on site. The brushless motor is engineered to be up to 109% more powerful than earlier 20V models, helping you tackle tougher materials with confidence. A high‑speed transmission paired with a two‑speed trigger (no load 0–650 rpm and 0–2000 rpm) lets you dial in the pace to match the material you’re working with. The result is faster progress without sacrificing control.

Designed to help you stay on top of tight deadlines, this drill/driver features an ANTI‑ROTATION System that senses rotational movement and shuts down if the motion becomes excessive. The red LED indicator lights up to signal when the system is engaged, giving you a quick visual cue to maintain steady, controlled operation. A 1/2 in metal ratcheting chuck provides secure bit retention so you can focus on the task at hand without frequent bit changes. An integrated 3‑position LED delivers up to 70 lumens to illuminate dim work areas, with an auto‑shutoff function to help conserve battery life between uses. This model is part of DEWALT’s best performing line of 20V MAX power tools and offers TOOL CONNECT CHIP READY functionality when paired with the Site Manager app (chip sold separately), offering possibilities for tool tracking and asset visibility on the jobsite.

Battery and charger are sold separately, giving you the flexibility to pair this high‑performance drill/driver with the 20V MAX XR ecosystem you already rely on. Whether you’re adapting to a new project or upgrading a toolbox, the DCD801B is built to meet the pace of professional work while maintaining a focus on control and reliability on the jobsite.
