DeWalt DCD 100 vs DCD 796: The Ultimate 18V Combi Showdown!

🔥 Introducing the NEW limited edition DeWalt 100 year 18V combi drill, packed with power and precision for any job. How does it compare to the trusty DCD 796? Let's find out! 💪

So they release a fancy 100 year model but make it the “poverty spec” with rubbish chuck no adjustable light and less drilling capacity? Youd think the “100 year” model would be the best of the best ?

Very helpful review, thank you. I'm exactly considering these two models. The 100 attracts me more because it's much newer and compact, but I don't like the idea of the plastic-coated chuck. Which of the two models would you recommend for home/DIY use?

[@zsolttoth9038]

This is my dilemma as well, most of the websites where I've been looking at these two they have almost the exact same price, however the DCD796 always only comes with 2 2 Ah batteries, where the DCD100 comes with 2 5 Ah batteries.

@@zsolttoth9038 hi, the dvd796 also comes with 5mAh batteries. Search for the model DCD796P2-QW

@@zsolttoth9038 I'm a carpenter and I have both - I use the DCD100 because it's "new and fun", but argueably the 796 feels better and higher quality and if I had to choose one to buy, i'd go with the 796.

Honestly I’d go for the DCD100 for your use case. Both are solid choices but the 100 is lighter and easier to handle, the plastic chuck isn’t the end of the world and some of my Dewalts that I use professionally have plastic chucks which have been just as reliable as metal. It’s also really good value. The 796 might be overkill if you’re not using it as much as a pro would, so that’s something to think about.
