Description
The Dewalt 18V XR Compact Premium Hammer Drill Driver (DCD805N-XJ) is a brushless, two-speed cordless drill built for tradies and keen DIYers who want strong performance from a short, lightweight body. This is the skin-only version, so it suits anyone who already owns compatible 18V XR batteries and a charger. Dewalt rates it at up to 90Nm of torque and describes it as the most versatile compact drill in its class.
About the product
The brushless motor is designed to deliver high performance and longer tool life, and it allows a much shorter overall design. A two speed, all-metal transmission supports longer runtime and tool life. Dewalt also positions this model as a big step up in power from the earlier DCD796 compact drill. An anti-rotation system detects bind-ups and shuts the tool down to help protect the user.
Where to use it
Indoors: fitting cabinets, hanging shelves, assembling furniture and driving screws in tight spots such as cupboards, under benches and between framing.
Outdoors: decking, fencing, pergolas and general site work where you need a compact drill that can still handle drilling and fastening with the hammer function.
Key features
- 18V XR brushless hammer drill driver with a compact design
- Two speed settings with adjustable torque control for consistent screwdriving into a range of materials

How to use it
Fit a compatible 18V XR battery (sold separately), select the low or high speed range to suit the job, then set the torque collar or hammer mode for the material you are working in. Use the pivoting foot LED to light up the work area, and clip the tool to your belt or store bits in the magnetic holder between tasks. Always use sharp, correctly rated bits for the material.
Important notes
Supplied as a tool only: the battery and charger are not included. Use only compatible Dewalt 18V XR batteries and chargers. Check the owner's manual for guidance on hammer mode, suitable drill bits and maximum capacities before starting a job.
