Product Information
Full details
The DeWalt DCD709P2T 18V Combi Hammer Drill is designed for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts seeking a compact and powerful tool for various applications. Its primary benefit lies in its exceptionally small size (175mm length) and lightweight design (1.2kg), making it ideal for working in tight spaces and reducing user fatigue. A potential caveat for some users might be its power level, which is robust for its size but may not match larger, heavier-duty drills for the most demanding, continuous industrial tasks.

FAQs
What is the advantage of a brushless motor?
A brushless motor offers higher efficiency, longer lifespan, and more consistent power output under load compared to brushed motors. It also allows for a more compact tool design.
How do I adjust the torque settings?
Rotate the collar located just behind the chuck. The numbers indicate different torque settings, with higher numbers providing more torque. Select the appropriate setting based on the material and fastener size.
Can I use this drill for hammer drilling into concrete?
Yes, this combi hammer drill is designed for drilling into masonry, wood, metal, and for screwdriving. For very hard concrete or prolonged heavy hammer drilling, a dedicated SDS hammer drill might be more suitable.
What is the warranty period for this drill?
DeWalt typically offers a standard warranty on their power tools. Please refer to the product manual or DeWalt's official website for the specific warranty details applicable to this model in your region.
How long do the 5.0Ah batteries typically last?
Battery life depends heavily on the application. For light to medium tasks, a 5.0Ah battery can provide several hours of use. For continuous heavy use, expect 30-60 minutes or more, but always have a spare charged battery on hand for extended jobs.
Does the LED light stay on after I release the trigger?
Yes, this model features an LED with a delay function, meaning it stays illuminated for a short period after the trigger is released, providing better visibility in darker areas.
Troubleshooting
Drill does not power on
Ensure the battery is properly inserted and charged. Check that the forward/reverse switch is not locked in the center position. Inspect battery contacts for dirt.
Reduced power or performance
The battery may be low; recharge it. Check the drill bit for damage or if it is excessively dull. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked.
Chuck is difficult to open or close
Ensure no debris is obstructing the chuck mechanism. Try opening and closing it multiple times to clear any potential jams. If persistent, professional service may be required.
LED light not functioning
Check the battery connection. If the LED is damaged, it may require professional repair.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional maneuverability due to its compact size.
- Reduced user fatigue thanks to its lightweight construction.
- Enhanced durability and performance from the brushless motor.
- Improved visibility in dark work environments with the LED light.
- Versatile for various screwing tasks with 15 torque settings.
- Sufficient power (65Nm) for many demanding jobs.
Cons
- May not be the first choice for extremely heavy-duty, continuous professional use where larger drills are standard.
- Battery life, while good, may be a consideration for very long, uninterrupted jobs without a spare charged battery.
- The Tstak case, while functional, may not be compatible with other professional tool case systems.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up your DeWalt DCD709P2T, first ensure the batteries are fully charged using the provided charger. Insert a charged battery into the base of the drill until it clicks. Select your desired drill bit or screwdriver bit and insert it into the chuck, then tighten the chuck firmly by hand or using a chuck key if applicable (though this model uses a keyless chuck). Attach the belt hook to the desired side of the drill.
Compatibility: This drill is compatible with all DeWalt 18V XR slide-fit batteries. The included Tstak case is designed for stacking with other Tstak units.
Care: Keep the drill clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Ensure ventilation slots are free from dust and debris. Store the drill, batteries, and charger in a dry environment, preferably in the included Tstak case, away from extreme temperatures. Avoid submerging the tool or batteries in water.
