Dewalt DCD996 1/2" Brushless 3-Speed Hammer Drill Driver Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Dewalt's DCD996 is an improvement in power and lighting over the DCD995 that came out a few years ago. The DCD996 gives the user all the power one would want out of this size drill and in most cases when using a larger drill bit, warrants the use of the side handle to protect yourself from sudden kickbacks. The three speed and electric clutch system is nothing new, but the power and extra LED lighting that can double as a flashlight is something that is not found on other drills. If you are looking for these features, but do not want a hammer drill, Dewalt offers the DCD991.
Guys i bought a new dcd996b and i like it ! But iam really worried because the reviews .
the comment section in the dewalt official website people say that it doesnt last ! :(

@@kaizen7852 Yes, here it is 10 months ago chugging away working to beat out two new drills. ruclips.net/video/FzWo3nTdJJg/видео.html
@@WorkshopAddict watched it a few days ago.
Thanks for the effort
Great videos brother.
well, funny thing is that on the bare tool option ( only the tool itself, no batteries or charger ) there is a lot of complaints. But if you read the comments on the kit which mean tool, battery and charger and if I remember correctly some bit holder there is more or less only possitive reviews. So, whats funny about that? well, it is exactly the same tool. Some goes out from the factory in a box with battery abd charger and some will be shipped without but neverless it is still exactly the same drill. So do not worry.
Maybee there was some bad batch in the begining but that happens to every manufacture and I wouldnt worry to much.
I have used Dewalt for years. I have never NEVER!!!! had a Dewalt tool fail on me. I just bought this drill to drill some 3/4 holes in concrete and it did't let me down. The fact that you can use the 60 volt max batteries with these tools has just made the 20v max series that much better. My father has had many Rigid, Makita tools, and I say many because he has had to replace them time and again. I like to spend the money on good tools and I like to use them hard and not worry. I will stop buying Dewalt as soon as one of their tools lets me down, that might be a long time coming. Milwaukee has always been the competition, but I have yet to try one. I would, but all of my Dewalt tools just won't quit. From personal experience you can't go wrong with a Dewalt. The only tool that has given me some complaint is their Oscillating saw. It gets pretty hot in the handle area. With that said, it has never quite and has been one of the handiest tools I have for construction projects.
Just bought this drill, can't wait to use it. I'm using my 10yr old DCD950 which is still a workhorse. Nice video.
I just bought this unit today. After watching your video, I'm excited I've added it to my tool collection...thank you for this very informative review...
I feed mine hot suppers all day long hammer drilling tile it’s better than a lot of corded hammer drills that aren’t to percussive to break the tile while being the fastest to go through it. It’s lasted 3 years so far and still puts up with abuse , I’m a glazier and have run blue red and yellow and yellow just keeps getting better
I just bought this drill about an hour ago based on this video. I haven't got a chance to use it yet, but I'm really excited to break it in. Thanks for the video, keep em coming!
Great review Brian. I might have to pick this one up, I have been looking to get a new 18/20 volt platform and DeWalt is impressing me lately.
No reviews talk about the front part of the chuck that spins freely. That’s pretty awesome
I use my dcd991 everyday for running electrical in new homes. Speed 3 I can go through 3 2x4 with not a problem unless I hit a nail!!!
Oh no. I just ordered this model. If I knew it had software in it, I'd have found another drill.
great and quality tool ,,i hope dewalt comes with a new brushless grinder soon,,awesome review like always
We look forward to a new Brushless Grinder also!
2 Foot 1inch auger bit in the attic during summer drilling through 3 2 by 4 stacked top plates and i'll tell you right now this drill gets VERY HOT. On the bright side though, it goes thtrough pretty damn fast. It appeared to struggle but its still much much faster then Milwaukee or Makita on gear 1.
I feel like a 2ft auger going through 3x 2x4's in summer would make any drill get hot...
This drill destroyed Milweakee's Gen 2 in the official comparison. It was/is rated #1 Cordless Drill in 2013-2016; and it's just getting better.
J.R. Productions cant wait for Dewalts Tool connect combo kit!!
I’m looking at purchasing the dcd 796 or the dcd 996 which 1 in your option is the best 1 for me to purchase because if the settings 1 and 2 are most used and setting 3 on odd occasions only wouldn’t it be best to purchase the dcd 796. Because the setting 3 is basically useless or too powerful to do holes.am I correct
Especially if the dcd796 is virtually the same as the 996 and if the 996 struggles on setting 3 then really the 996 would be a waste of money when you can purchase the 796 and do the same stuff and just as much power as the 996 and the torches on both are also the same - This is a hard choice which do I purchase please help me decided much appreciated
As there is also more torque settings on the dcd 796 as I’ve noticed on your very good video you made
They both also weigh the same so really I’m not noticing much if anything different on both models apart from setting 3
I look forward to hear back from you so I can place my order thank you...

Great review. That drill reminds me of the days when Dewalt was seen as a professional grade tool. They lost their way a bit it seems, and now they are fighting their way back to the top.
Was? It still is
Amazing drill
That's a right tool review, good job!
My DCD996 drilled one hole and just clicks now what to do
Great review
Is $180 for the 997 with charger a 5amp battery and bag a good deal?
Yes
The brake that stops the drill when I release the trigger in range 2 and 3 makes a knocking sound. Not sure if this is normal
Pretty normal.
How will it run on a 1.5 ah battery? I’m not going to be using it much so I don’t believe I need a bigger battery
It will and you wont get the full power.
Is the electronic clutch new to dewalt premium hammer drill? I thought there's something wrong with my dcd996 clutch compared to the standard clutch. I never thought that that's the sound of an electronic clutch. Now I'm satisfied with the electronic clutch sound like. Thanks for the awesome review.
Yes it is new and awesome right!
Have used mine, he toured 1/2 metal drill on galvanized pipe, when I got into the pipe the metal locked up and almost broke my wrist.
Once I took my finger off the trigger the bit fell out and now the jaw holder will not work if any one has this problem and the fix
I'm afraid you may have to take the chuck off and disassemble it to repair, or replace.
Taking the chuck off isn't as simple as a screw in the bottom of the chuck.
It's press fitted, but not massively tight.
There are some tutorials online. Just don't follow the ones that tell you to put an allen key in the chuck and then hit it with a hammer. It may work, but it may also damage your drills internals.
Very nice review, thumbs up.
Thank you!
thumps up from me
Thank You!
Sir could you tell me...what is the mechanically difference between dcd 996p2 xr and dcd 996 xrp.....?? Which one is better....?? I want to purchase that....which one will have to purchase.??
What's The Difference between this one and the DCD995 ?
Is this drill good at mixing cement
can this drill function as a impact driver plus normal drill plus hammer drill.3 in 1?
It is not an impact driver
Does it have a hammer only feature?
Hi, I'm researching tools to set up my first woodworking home shop and I'm interested in this drill because I also have concrete walls on my house. I thought this would be a good option to serve both purposes but I'm concerned that it might be too heavy and bulky to use as a wood shop drill. What would you guys reccomend?
soundboy89 For a full size drill, this is a powerful one! I would buy it and once I got it home I would check the run-out on the Chuck to see if it is acceptable for your woodworking. Milwaukee gen w M12s are nice also if you want small and powerful.
I had to go Google "runout" haha I'm just getting started in all this. I'll look into that Milwaukee also, thanks!
WorkshopAddict hey I was just curious if you think run out is a “normal” thing in cordless drills? I ask because I have a nice Bosch drill and it had wobble so I sent it back to them and the new chuck still seems to have a little bit. I thought about picking up this Dewalt but if it’s the same idk if it’s worth it.
Excellent review! Good hammer drill driver! would a comparison with other drills happen? The same top of the line for each brand? Possible?
+tiger507 Possible. This drill is three speed and it give you more torque in gears one and two. That alone makes it stand out over the other drills.
Great review! I have been trying to figure out if I should go with the 996 or the 796... I'm primarily a handyman, and could definitely benefit from the more compact size and weight of the 796... but is the smaller size worth the sacrifice in power and the 3 speed trans? What would your 2 cents be
Bear Lemke I’ve got the 796 and it’s got plenty of power for most tasks. When it comes to bang for your buck, I think it’s the best drill out there. It pisses on my old Bosch from a great height.
does it drill through concrete ?
You left out you can use this with the flex batteries. 20/60 volt 6 amp battery
You can use any 18v DeWalt gear with flexvolt batteries (in every country but America it's 18v not 20 max 😂)
Excellent Video
why the battery somehow is loose and not stable? So I don't know if i want to buy it or not. So please tell me if the battery would fall off.
binh ho the battery would never fall off in normal use.
WorkshopAddict seam like is loose
I went to lowes today and decided to buy it. I used it but the battery somehow was loose and afraid it would break down. Therefore I didn't buy it
binh ho it's not
The battery is a bit loose to prevent the contact pins between tool and battery from breaking. This is done by design.
I dont like the very light direction switch either , too easy to switch direction while using the drill .
great review. subscribed
Does this drill break easily? Many people said it died after a year.
I would say no as ours is still going strong.
What competes with this. My coworker has this and I love it. Because it shreds through 2x4 when I need to drill holes to pull wire. I have a gen 4 ridgid (not a hammer drill) and it takes forever to to do what this drill does. Though about switching my kit from ridgid to desalt just because of this drill
It is powerful. Makita and Milwaukee have drill that are close.
Nathaniel Quick Skip the drill and invest your money into grammar and spelling lessons. Maybe a third grader could give you tutoring sessions. Moron.
J. Rob. Looks like we have a wordsmith in the crowd! 🎓
It looks like we have only one asshole in it.
@@catlady8324
the guy with a cat for an aviator what loser
This drill is obviously a great heavy hitter but how do you like it for light duty normal or even small screws in soft wood type work?
With the three speeds and electric clutch, you still have great control over it, even in very light duty situations.
i have the dcd796 and dcf887 and i thing that dcd996 would complete my dewalt drill/drive yellow platform!!!do you feel the drill power as if it is like lets say into 100~110Nm area!?!?!?do the makita and milwaukee premium hammer drills feel like more powerful than dcd996!?!?and if the are,i think that 3gears helps the lower power output of this drill!is it right?
The three speed help to get you more torque for the middle speeds, around 1400 rpm. I feel that this drill has the same power the New Milwaukee has at 1200 inch pounds. That is specified at more than the Makita. I will put my "reputation" on the line and say that for a drill, it rocks and you should not be disappointed. I cannot tell you exactly how it compares because that would take equipment I don't have. But if you watch our videos, you don't see me using a side handle much. I did with this drill!
Hello, i want to ask if your drill at speed 1 and clutch 1, if you press the trigger all the way down fast, it will stop? bcs mine stops. This happends to me only no clutch 1 and 2.
possible that it could stop and clutch setting 1 and 2 in low range might see too much torque for the drill and stop it. Those are VERY light settings and a full power trigger squeeze would not be normal.
Hello....I m from Pakistan....and i need this drill....what is the procedure and what would be the exactly cost at my door step in Pakistan...with L box and 5ah batteries....I m waiting for ur answer....thanks n regards
tanveer5121458 don’t be a dumbass. This is youtube not Amazon
im stuck between dewalt and milwaukee ! plsss tell me which one is better ?
The new Milwaukee Fuel and this drill are so close it is hard to tell the difference. It should come down to two things. One, do you want three speeds and what other tools you plan to buy in a battery platform. Dewalt is the only one with three speeds.
+WorkshopAddict thaaaank u so much
Make 🇺🇸 Great by keeping Jobs here and buying 🇺🇸 Products! Thanks for the review!
I want that drill.
what will you recommend for diy dewalt dcd 996 or dcd 796? both are awesome I'm confusing I want to get some advise
What is the plans for it. DIY can mean a lot. If you want pure power, go with the DCD996. Is there a big price difference or do you want a smaller drill?
+WorkshopAddict sometimes I'm gonna use it in concrete or metal but more often in wood to make large hole...the problem in dcd 796 it's not available in bare tool that's why I'm confusing I don't need charger and battery
+WorkshopAddict by the way I'm new in woodworking
The 996 will be the way to go to give you all the power you could ask for and having you looking for another large drill.
The same tests einhell te CD 18 li bl pxc Would you do this but with a pulsed model I hope my English is a little bad.
John, Do you guys review Makita tools? Ive never seen any, or have I simply missed them?
We do, just not many. We have the sub compact drill and impact driver coming up.
The speed is regulated with the trigger?
Has a 3 speed gear box with variable speed trigger.
Yep
when is it going to be in store's
should be very soon. I think some vendors already have it, just not big box stores yet.
Hi, I bought this drill a few days ago from Amazon. On my drill, the electronic brake system produces a very loud noise when the trigger is released. It is much louder compared to my other drills. Is it normal to this model of drills?
Prasanth Jose yes, mine does as well, but i believe its normal, as the drill is just way more powerful than any other ive used
dewalt have chuck grip problem?? what happened..
+Saigon Viet Nam This is an upgrade tot he DCD995 and that was a solid drill.
How does the power compare to the power of the Milwaukee 2704?
The power is as good if not better and it performs cooler.
Just got this, and returned it 30 minutes later. I ordered this kit and was hoping for something awesome but was extremely disappointed. I might go into details later
What? You have to go into details. This is a kick butt drill.
+WorkshopAddict hello,I've been waiting for this beast for a month and finally my supply house could order them so I ordered the dck299p2 with the 996 and the 887 impact, and waited for a couple weeks till it came in. I was expecting something awesome and when it finally showed up both the drill and impact had problems, I was so disappointed. About to give up on Dewalt. I returned them 30 mins later. Today I went back and picked up a new kit, hoping the first one was a dud. I got it out and found the most awesome, most powerful drill and impact I ever used. My other drill was the 995, and I've used the new Milwaukee gen2. They are so well built. The impact is incredible, even speed 1 which I was skeptical about has its place when used properly. The one thing which I agree with you on is the forward and reverse switch on the drill is a little soft, it could be a little stiffer. But overall Dewalt has hit a home run with these. And the light is incredible. And to you great review.
+Kent Catlett That's Great! I was talking to a buddy saying how I said people won't return this in 30 days and you returned it in 30 minutes. I wondered what went wrong. Thanks for clearing it up and I hope you enjoy the tools!
this drill is a monster why return it!
Are those made in the USA stickers?
Yes, they are made in the USA with global materials.
20 MIN...OR 20 SEC ? THE LIGHT
Yes, it has a worklight setting that stays on for 20 mins. we did not mis-speak.
I just picked one of these bad boys up for $35.
Thanks..
I thought the rpm on the 3rd speed 0-2250?
That's when it's in hammer drill mode. its 2000 in regular drilling mode.
pena que no Brasil não existe estas ferramentas maravilhosas que nos estados unidos tem fico triste por isto
What bumper do you have on your jeep?
+Adam M. Metalcloak full width.
ilove dcd996
I love them I got them ready to abuse them from usa very nice
More powerful than milwaukee 2704 ？
it is either the same or slightly more power. At least by feel.
and 887 impact
That little impact is a gem. Been using the heck out of it for 2 years now. I'm waiting patiently for my impact to arrive. I bought the one with hard case charger and two 5 ah batteries. Can't wait to try it out.
Sorry I meant Hammer drill to arrive. Lol.
I would like to purchase dewalt 18v 996Bare tool.from where I can purchase it ?
Mahadev Mohapatra ACME Tools, Amazon, and CPO Tools

Herramienta excelente,,batería muy mala en especial las flex 6amperes no hacen válida la garantía por no contar con el tiket de compra
