High-Performance Brushless Power for Masonry and Structural Fastening

 

The DeWALT DCD796 (the core tool in the DCD796D2-QW kit) is a premium industrial hammer drill driver engineered for maximum power and efficiency in a compact form factor. Driven by a high-output brushless motor, this "Generation 2" (G2) tool delivers up to 57% more runtime than brushed alternatives and operates at lower temperatures for extended tool life. With a maximum torque of 70 Nm, it provides the structural strength required for intensive tasks in timber, metal, and masonry.

Designed for professional versatility, the DCD796 features a dedicated hammer mode for high-speed drilling into brick and masonry. Its ultra-compact design, with a head length of only 174 mm, allows for superior handling in confined spaces. The two-speed all-metal transmission ensures increased runtime and durability, making it a dependable workhorse for South African contractors.
