Needless to say, Dewalt is second to none in terms of build quality and durability. Although the DCD776C1 isn’t its most powerful product, it didn’t fail to amaze us.
The thing we appreciated most about this drill is the XR battery. Even though it’s rated at 1.3 Ah, it can actually provide up to 33% more capacity, according to Dewalt.
Upon testing, we also loved the ultra-sensitive trigger featured in this drill, which allowed for excellent speed control without the annoying choppiness that we usually notice in other brands.
With a torque of 42 Nm, this drill will be able to handle challenging materials with relative ease. However, we didn’t like that it only features 15 torque settings — it’s not a crucial flaw, but it might slightly affect the screwdriving precision, especially when working with delicate materials.
