DEWALT® Announces New Drills & Impact Drivers

Drills
November 6, 2015
TOWSON, Md. – DEWALT announces a new 20V MAX* XR® Drill (DCD791) & Impact Driver (DCF887) with on average 30% faster application speeds, more powerful DEWALT-built brushless motors and better ergonomics than previous DEWALT models. Featuring a dust & moisture resistant coated and sealed switch, the new 20V MAX* XR® Drill & Impact Driver are ideal for heavy-duty use on jobsites where durability takes priority.
 
The 20V MAX* XR® 1/2” Compact Drill/Driver with an all-metal ratcheting chuck is shorter, lighter, and more powerful at a 27% power improvement vs. previous model . With three LED light settings, the drill offers Low, Medium, and Spotlight Modes at 60 lumens – a full 20X brighter than the previous model. The spotlight mode conveniently brightens dark workspaces and has a 20 minute delay feature that alerts the user two minutes before the light shuts off.
 
The 20V MAX* XR® Brushless 1/4” 3-Speed Impact Driver also features PrecisionDrive™ technology which allows the Impact Driver to stall for one second before impacting. This protects the fastener and material surface and provides the user with maximum control during applications that require a high level of craftsmanship. For more information, visit www.dewalt.com.
