You've got to love how you can actually hear the difference between the two drills.
Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" kzread.infoUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.
Pleased to see more compact yet powerful drills come out which work well with power stack. I’d much rather see this innovation rather than an endless drive towards hugely powerful drills with car batteries attached to them. This is more relevant so thanks for taking me through them.
I am so glad I am on the Dewalt platform ,always great gear coming out .
The 805 will be a great addition next to my 996, I just love how compact it is.
I have had this new drill for awhile now and it is very powerful.
I like the dcd800. Decent power in a small package. You don't need 1,100, 1,200 or 1,400 in. lbs of torque in a drill all the time. 800 - 900 in. lbs of torque in a drill will suffice for 90% of your drilling needs.
Great review as always. Nice to see Dewalt stepping up with the new tech.
Wow lots of power in compact design. Looks like that little drill was designed specifically for those new powerstack.

This is perfect my 796 has been a beast however it’s getting long in the tooth perfect timing for me Thank you for the Great review
Great channel, good test. As a framer we have a bunch of drills and a few dcd791 and 796 ..definitely not worth the upgrade to the newer ones…..the 791 is for up to 1” really . Over that size the 996 is what to use . And we don’t use spade bits over an inch . We go to forstner bits ..
I found DeWalt dcd800 and 805 manual and it's torque is listed as 90nm (hard) 27nm (soft) which is 796 in lbs and 239 in lbs. That is very good for a drill that size.
Oh man I just got use to my 791…cool video thanks Brian..
got to love Dewalt thanks Brian
DeWalt has really been Upgrading their Power Game lately , have you seen their New Mid-Torque Impact Wrench , it's just Awesome .....👍🖖
Good work as always. The new drills look great but I like my 791. just fine, so I'll wait until an absolutely, positively ridiculous deal appears to consider upgrading.

I can only say that I didn’t have a great experience with the 800. I think the drills with the full size bodies perform more consistently than the really compact models. For example, my DCD777 outperforms the DCD708 atomic, despite having the same specs.

@@nalley6815 Everyone is different. Tinker with Tools loves the 800. Maybe I got a weak one, or I was just expecting too much from it. Mine cut out and got hot when I tried to replicate one of the tests that he did on his channel, though. Maybe I just had bad luck, but I think a bigger body allows for a bigger fan, and better heat dispersion. I was looking at the 791, which is rated slightly less powerful than the 800, but has a bigger body. I have also been considering the 998 or 999 because I don’t think I would ever be disappointed by the performance.
Just ordered my dcd800 cant wait to get it.
Wow, that runs great for the size, might need to pick up this and the new 1/2 impact
Great review! I still like my new DCD 701 12V compact drill....but that 805 sure looks nice
Wow the lights. Impressive
Id love to see the 805 vs the 996
I’ve noticed I’ve had issues with my Dewalt drills working with spade bits drilling for Romex cable installation but with my Ryobi drills and a spade bit they bust on thru like nobody’s business. The black & yellow isn’t always great.
Insane power! Hardly need the 996 now.

I have the 805 and my friend has the 796. Huge power difference. 796 is allot stronger especially if your going to be using hole saw bits.
I use the atomic drill everyday a great little drill. I also have the dcd996 great for the heavy jobs. But the dcd800 xr would be great for both. Sucks it's not available in canada yet.
Amazing Power i get My this friday
Still not clear of the difference between the 800 n 805. Is it just hammer/no hammer?
My 791 has taken a beating over the years and still works good. The only problem I have with it is that the chuck is not very straight, and that seems to be a common issue. There is a lot of runout. Hopefully this new model will be just as rugged but with a better chuck.

DCD800 looks like a good step up in performance, but I normally run my drill with small batteries for use around the house so maybe less power advantage for me. I haven't decided if shorter of slimmer is more advantageous but I've noticed that the dcd800 is available for similar price to the dcd791.

It’s not bogging at the end of the hole you just don’t have the screw driving it anymore you need to push harder at the end
Can someone please talk about how much better the potentiometer in the trigger of the dewalt is compared to Milwaukee?? I’m so tired of seeing Milwaukee being treated like it’s the best when their trigger feels like it has 4 speeds.
Balsy! Kinda like that new impact that I got being better than the old king of the hill. :-)

After watching this video I bought the 791. It's got plenty of power. Don't care for bloated 800 body. I'm also considering getting a 777 due it's near-1-lbs weight reduction.
I'll keep my 791, thank you. Don't,t see the need for anything else considering that I don't use mine every day. So, I don't need to "Upgrade" to another drill when mine does just fine by itself.
The real question is will DeWalt be assembling these in the USA with global materials like the 791 and 796 are, or are they going to be made elsewhere?

Anyone else find the 800 much higher pitched noise wise?
DCD 791, 460W motor plus ~ 20% losses in electronic driver, 27Nm @ 550RPM and 7.42Nm@ 2000RPM. DCD800 - 34 Nm @ 650RPM and 11Nm @ 2000 RPM. Forget about hard torque 70Nm @ DCD791 and 90Nm @ DCD 800, coz' is just an impact shock from hard stop in speed 2 ( where it has 11Nm sustained) from full RPM with low load, and is related to inertia, momentum, and kinetic energy in relation with the speed squared, so in speed 1 the hard torque is 9X lower for DCD 800 and 13,2X lower for DCD791...Hard torque is more marketing BS, and in in real use is breaking screws and stuff you work on. For extra torque there is the autobrake and manual wrenching, usable even when torque limiter is engaged and overruled.

@@DiligentDave1966 It's pretty good. 27 Nm soft torque in speed one is good enough for screwing even huge wood screws and for drilling above normal. It's pretty good enough medium duty, but not realy super heavy duty. Minuses are: - 1. With 5Ah pack is wey to heavy. But with 2 or one row 3Ah compact the weight is OK @ 1.5Kg but not recomanded because it has higher RPM @ medium torque and it drains a lot of amps and so it can abuse the pack. With 4Ah so coled compact one row of 21700 cells it has the power but is to heavy @ 1.7 kg. With 1.7 Ah powerstack the weight could be nice but the drill becomes front heavy and that is pretty bad, and altrough it has the power, 1.7Ah is stupid retarded, even in 2006 I had 2 Ah NiCd. All other are to big and heavy, 5Ah powerstack, 6Ah high drain, 8Ah, flex volt, etc. Dewalt needs a new compact 2.5 Ah powerstack. - 2. Being brushless with high RPM and a larger diameter motor and fan it's noisier then previous non brushless mid torque models like DCD780, but it's less noisy then DCD 800 that has an even bigger diameter motor and fan and is very annoying noise wise. By the wey, DCD 800 specs were updated just after my previous post, and it has only 28 Nm soft torque in speed one, so only 1Nm over DCD 791.

In speed 1 it should be OK and fast enough on both DCD 800 and 791. Anywey, even if 27 Nm is good enough to screw 8 x 300mm or even 10 x 300 without predrilling in soft wood, there are at least 5 problems: 1. Not all wood is soft... 2. Screwing in wood without predrilling is super stupid even if timber locks are spect not to need that. Not only that you need a lot of torque and power, drain a lot of amps, the motor and electronic driver gets hot, even the cables can melt and short, but first thing first the wood can crack and I can't stand that. 3. The brushless drills have a more agresive electronic cut of protection but also higher RPM even in speed 1 so more amps and more protection. For this reason an old Makita DDF 453 stupid long and without light can look more powerfull with 27 Nm soft torque (43 hard) even if DDF has a decent protection, better then previous BDF. Even so, more screws one after another can be to much also for 453. 4. More screws one after another can abuse the tool and pack, they get hot and need protection. 5. The battery packs are not all the same. 2-3Ah models have decent weight but not enough power for 550-650 RPM in speed 1 @ 27-28 Nm.

I can’t believe folks cannot hold a drill somewhere near perpendicular when drilling holes. Drilling crooked holes puts a real bind on any drill due to the sidearms friction on the bit.

This guy has no idea how to hold the drill when using a paddle bit. You let the bit do the cutting, as opposed to forcing it. He reminds of the new guy on the job that has never used power tools.
