This tool-only model is built to pair with your existing DEWALT battery ecosystem, giving you the flexibility to upgrade gradually without being tethered to a cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower, efficiency, and brightness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tool features a DEWALT built high power, high efficiency brushless motor that delivers up to 75% more runtime than older brushed 18V NiCad models. That means fewer stops for battery changes and more momentum on long projects. The 3-mode LED illuminates dark or confined spaces, delivering visibility up to 20x brighter than the previous model, so you can see precise drill points and fasteners clearly even in tight corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSecure chuck and versatile control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heavy-duty 1\/2-inch ratcheting nitro-carburized metal chuck with carbide inserts provides superior bit gripping strength, helping prevent slipping under high torque. Coupled with three speed settings, you can tailor performance for drilling, driving, or light hammer tasks across different materials and bit sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExtra lighting and extended work time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the bright main LED, the LED Spotlight Mode adds a 20-minute shutoff feature, allowing for extended work time in dark spaces without constant manual reactivation. This combination of lighting options helps you maintain accuracy and workflow in challenging environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes on compatibility and usage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery and charger sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTool-only design allows you to pair with your existing DEWALT battery collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReal-world scenarios\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicture a busy job site where overhead drilling, cabinet installation, or masonry prep requires steady torque and clear visibility.
