The DCF801D2 XR Brushless Sub-Compact Impact Driver is a high‑performance, lightweight power tool designed for professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts who demand precision, durability, and efficiency in every task. Built on DeWalt’s renowned XR (eXtreme Reliability) platform, this impact driver delivers exceptional torque, speed, and battery life while maintaining an ultra‑compact footprint.

Key Features

• 12V Brushless Motor: The brushless design eliminates friction wear, providing longer motor life, higher efficiency, and smoother operation compared to brushed motors. This results in a quieter, more reliable tool that can handle demanding jobs without overheating.
• Sub‑Compact Size & Weight: Weighing just under 1 lb (0.45 kg) with the battery, the DCF801D2 is one of the smallest impact drivers on the market. Its slim profile fits comfortably in tight spaces and reduces operator fatigue during prolonged use.
• Dual 2.0Ah Li‑Ion Batteries: The kit includes two high‑capacity 12V, 2.0 Ah batteries that deliver up to 1,200 rpm and 3,000 in‑lb of torque. With a combined runtime of approximately 30–35 minutes under typical conditions, the driver can tackle most fastening tasks without frequent recharging.
• Integrated Charger & Case: The included charger supports both batteries simultaneously, ensuring you’re never left waiting for power. A rugged carrying case protects the tool and accessories during transport and storage.
• Advanced Electronic Speed Control (ESC): This feature smooths out torque spikes, allowing for precise control when driving screws into delicate materials or working with sensitive components.
• LED Work Light: A built‑in LED illuminates the work area, improving visibility in low‑light conditions and reducing eye strain.
• Ergonomic Grip & Short Handle: The tool’s ergonomic design reduces vibration transmission to the user’s hand and wrist. The short handle provides excellent control for tight spaces while maintaining a comfortable grip.
• High‑Torque, Low‑Speed Mode: Ideal for driving large or stubborn fasteners, this mode delivers maximum torque without excessive speed, preventing over‑driving or stripping screws.
• Durable Construction: The DCF801D2 features a reinforced housing and high‑strength steel chuck to withstand repeated impacts and heavy-duty use.
