Key design highlights

• OVER 2 IN. SHORTER IN LENGTH at 6.38 in (tool head length) to tackle tough jobs.
• UP TO 16% MORE POWER with 404 UWO and up to 1,650 RPM no load for diverse drilling applications.
• HIGH BIT RETENTION with a 1/2 in. ratcheting chuck for secure bit grip.
• ILLUMINATE WORKSPACES using the on-tool LED work light for better visibility.

Power, speed, and efficiency

Powered by a brushless motor, this drill/driver delivers robust performance while maximizing runtime. The combination of 404 UWO and a no-load speed of up to 1,650 RPM helps you move through drilling and driving tasks more quickly, whether you’re working with wood, plastics, or light metal.

Control and precision

The 1/2 in. ratcheting chuck provides reliable bit retention, reducing slips during demanding drilling sessions. This means you can focus more on alignment and less on stopping to readjust bits.

Visibility where it counts

The integrated LED light brightens the workspace, helping you place fasteners accurately in dim corners, under cabinets, or inside tight framing.

Real-world use cases

Great for cabinet installs, shelf mounting, framing tasks, and deck projects. Its compact profile makes it easier to reach recessed or overhead locations, while staying compatible with the broader DEWALT 20V MAX ecosystem for a seamless tool lineup.

What to expect in practice

• Lightweight balance supports overhead drilling and one-handed guiding.
• Secure chuck retention reduces bit slips during longer drives.
• LED illumination aids precision in variable lighting conditions.
• Compact design minimizes fatigue on extended projects.
