Customer Reviews

FINALLY! A excellent powerful drill at a good price!


I was lucky enough to pick up this gem while it was on Amazon's Deal of the Day... for a awesome $134 ($159 - $25 promotion for spending $100 on Dewalt tools); 
That price is unheard of for a 18V hammer drill, complete w/ 2 batterys, charger & an carrying case. I did not think twice when I saw the deal & I have no regrets on my purchase.


Now on to the drill itself. The weight of this compact drill and batteries weigths about the same, if not less, than my full size Dewalt DCD970 hammer drill WITH NO BATTERY! 
The compact size makes it excellent to get into tighter spaces without compromising the angle of approach.


Changing/selecting the gear for the 2 speed "transmission" is very easy/smooth. 
My DCD970 have an 3 speed transmission & the highest gear is noticeable faster, but the gear switch to change speeds tend to catch & it takes a lot of play & force to try & change speeds. 
The DCD775's gear selector is an huge improvement, so much easier to select a different gear. 
And no, the DCD970's gear selector did not get this bad over time, it behaved the same way when it was new.


The LED drill light is also an added plus to illuminate areas that are not well lit. 
By no means is it an replacement for an normal flashlight/shoplight, but it does come in handy.


The lithium batterys are awesome! No lag or drag, power to drill is kept at 100% until the batteries is almost completely drained... 
unlike NiCad batteries that show signs of an weak battery by gradually losing power. 
Not the case with this battery, it goes full throttle until it has reached its complete usable band & then shuts off to protect the battery for being fully drained 
(bad for long term battery life).


30 mins charger! Awesome! With my old cordless 18V B&D drill, if my battery dies, 
I have to wait hours on end (6 hrs easily) for an full charge & even with that, it does not last more than 1-2 hours of steady use. 
The dewalt lithium batteries last easily twice as long & lives up to the claims of an 30 minute charge. 
I AM A BELIEVER!!!


Potential Improvements:
- It would have been excellent if the drill came with a bit holder
- Retaining clip for bit holder (front of drill by the battery) popped off every other time I took a bit out. 
I had to bend the locking flanges & use an screwdriver to push it all the way in to secure it. 
So far so good.


Overall, I love this drill & am super glad I bought this. I am an fan of DeWalt, but if you are not, but is in the market for a new cordless drill, 
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DRILL, or any reputable brand drill with an LITHIUM batteries.

DCD760KL Pro Performance in A Lighter Weight Drill


I use multiple DeWalt DCD760KL, Makita & Milwaukee drills, all powered by lithium batteries. The DeWalt DCD760KL are the heaviest with their larger battery packs but this means a lot more holes or screws per charge. 
Recharge time is average with some like the Makita having a 15 minute charge time and a 30 minute cool down time, so in total they are all the same. 
The chucks on the DeWalt DCD760KL do the best job of gripping the arbor even when drilling in very hard material. 
They don't loosen up the way the Makita & Milwaukee chucks do which is great when working on an ladder as nothing falls out half way through the job.


DCD760KL Power is very great and& the drill has not problem with making 6" holes in subflooring if you use a great hole saw, like the Blue Boar TCT for example. 
Helps for really tough drilling to have one of the 3-speed DeWalt drills but for everyday tasks the lighter weight of this junior version is makes it the one I prefer to use.


The DCD760KL drill companies all recommend the lowest speed setting for drilling into wood and that is an excellent idea if you use old bi-metal hole saws, which in itself is a not good idea. 
With the more efficient TCT hole cutters I get better performance and smoother cutting action with the middle or high speed settings. 
I can get away with doing this because hole saws like the Blue Boar TCT take an third the power of the bi-metal hole saws.


BLUE BOAR 4-1/2" (114mm) Self-Feed TCT 2-1/4" deep multipurpose Tungsten Carbide hole cutter outperforms self-feed bits & bi-metal hole saws.

DCD760KL Super Helper


I am no less than totally impressed with this 18V DeWalt DCD760KL drill/driver combo. It exceed my expectations & even two contractors who were helping with renovations at my home were commenting on the tools capabilities. 
As with any great review there're always a few negative. Only one I can think of the bit caddy attach to the battery compartment on the tool. 
If the multi bit is removed for use, the spring metal retention clip was soon found on the floor. If you are used to the direction control switch on oldrr models as I am, this tool is backward. 
Right handed users need to depress the control switch toward the thumb for fwd action and depress away for reverse. Be sure to have the spare battery charged during periods of extended use. 
The DCD760KL Lithium Ion battery packs quit completely when the charge expires. No warning signs or reduced performance. It just flat out stops dead. At first I thought the tool died completly but an fresh pack proved me wrong. 
A bit storage compartment in the carry case would be nice but my other DeWalt DCD760KL corded drill doesn't have one so was not expecting one with this tool either. 
All in all it's the best, most comfortable cordless drill/driver I've used. Amazon supersaver shipping coupled with a good price even beat out the big box stores pricing for the same tool.

Dewalt DCD760KL Lithium Ion Battery Powered Tools ROCK

I have been sold on DeWalt DCD760KL products for years but this new lighter weight drill with lithium-Ion batteries is a major improvement in the product line. 
The chuck has an auto break so its easy to change bits. I am in my 60's but I don't care who you are, holding an DCD760KL 18 volt tool of any kind all day will wear you down. 
This new lighter weight system improves my speed and the quality of my work. I am actually smilling on the job because no matter where I use the DCD760KL drill its quick and even has a light in front to help in dark corners or at night. 
I have to say that Amazon.com had an incredible deal on this package anyone can afford. The only minor draw back is you cannot use your old charger for these batteries though they will work on the old tools. 
The Batteries charge full in 30 minutes and run the tool full out, when the battery is done it does not slow down it just stops. 
I highly recommend this DCD760KL and you will find the best price at Amazon.com.

DeWalt-DCD760KL Cordless The Drill/Driver

Very good feel with the DeWalt DCD760KL Cordless Drill/Driver. I have the power to do all my odd jobs around the house. 
Battery charge time is short. Battery life is strong & provides the same power from start to finish. 
Like I had read in other reviews, the battery or drill gives no indication that the battery is low & stops immediately. 
Since I was prepared for this it really does not bother me because I always have the second battery charged and ready to go. 


The torque from the DCD760KL drill is what I was missing when I was putting up cabinets in the laundry room. 
The design of being small & compact with the multiple torque settings & levels of torque has been what I expected when buying this product. 
The chuck grip is very excellent about not slipping, this was one of my concerns with my last drill (introductory craftsman drill). 
Also noticed the light weight design made definitely reduced the fatigue. Definitely recommend the DeWalt DCD760KL Cordless Drill/Driver.
