The DCD796 is a compact and lightweight combi drill with brushless technology, offering up to 30% more power than its predecessor. It features a two-speed all-metal transmission for increased runtime and durability, with drill driver and hammer functions for versatile applications. The DCF887 impact driver is equipped with application control, featuring 3 motor speeds and torque settings, plus a Precision Drive mode to prevent material damage. It boasts a high-power brushless motor delivering up to 205Nm of torque, a super lightweight and compact design, and a 3 LED Halo light ring for excellent workpiece illumination. The DCH133N hammer drill is ideal for drilling into concrete, brick, and masonry, with a no-load speed of 1550rpm and 5550bpm, producing 2.6J of impact energy. It can drill up to 13mm into steel, 30mm into wood, and 26mm into concrete. The DCD796 features 15-position adjustable torque control and an intelligent trigger for precise application control. Its ergonomic design with a rubber grip overmould enhances user comfort, and improved airflow to the motor ensures cooler electronics and increased power. The DCF887 has a latest-generation 18V XR Li-Ion Brushless motor, a 3-mode impact selector for enhanced control, and 28% more torque. It has an overall length of 135mm and a 3 LED Halo ring for maximum illumination.
This DeWalt 18V XR Brushless 3 Piece Kit is designed for professional tradespeople and serious DIYers seeking robust power and versatility for demanding construction and renovation tasks. Its key benefit is the combined power and efficiency of three high-performance brushless tools in one package, offering enhanced runtime and durability. A potential caveat is the need for compatible 18V XR Li-Ion batteries and chargers, which may need to be purchased separately if not already owned.

FAQs
Are batteries and a charger included with this kit?
No, this kit (DCK3BLTSKIT1) typically does not include batteries or a charger. These must be purchased separately to operate the tools.
What is the main difference between the DCD796 and the DCH133N?
The DCD796 is a versatile Combi Hammer Drill for drilling, driving, and light hammer drilling in masonry. The DCH133N is a dedicated SDS Hammer Drill optimized for drilling into concrete, brick, and masonry with higher impact energy.
What type of bits does the DCH133N hammer drill use?
The DCH133N uses SDS-Plus bits, which are specifically designed for hammer drilling applications and offer a secure, tool-free connection.
Can I use older DeWalt 18V XRP batteries with these tools?
While this kit uses the 18V XR system, compatibility with older XRP batteries can vary. It is recommended to use 18V XR Li-Ion batteries for optimal performance and compatibility.
How do I engage the Precision Drive mode on the DCF887 impact driver?
The Precision Drive mode is typically the third setting on the 3-mode impact selector. It provides slower speed and reduced torque upon engagement to prevent over-tightening and material damage.
What is the warranty period for these DeWalt tools?
DeWalt typically offers a limited warranty on their tools. Please refer to the warranty information included with your product or check the DeWalt website for specific details regarding the warranty for this kit.
Can the DCD796 drill into steel?
Yes, the DCD796 can drill into steel. It is recommended to use appropriate metal drill bits and the lower speed setting for best results.
Troubleshooting
Tool not powering on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the tool. Check battery contacts for dirt or damage. Try a different known-good battery.
Impact driver not delivering full torque
Check the selected speed/torque setting. Ensure the battery is fully charged. Clean the battery terminals and tool contacts. If the issue persists, the tool may require servicing.
Hammer drill not engaging hammer action
Verify the tool is set to 'Hammer Drill' mode. Ensure the bit is suitable for hammer drilling and seated correctly. Check that the battery is sufficiently charged.
Overheating during use
Reduce the load on the tool and allow for breaks. Ensure ventilation slots are clear of dust and debris. Do not operate the tool continuously at maximum capacity for extended periods without rest.
Drill chuck won't tighten or loosen properly
Ensure the chuck is free of debris. Try opening and closing the chuck multiple times. If it remains stiff or unresponsive, the chuck mechanism may need professional inspection.
