Keep the limits in view.
- Documentation-based guide; no hands-on testing, durability ranking, or independent performance claim.
- Manufacturer listing is live at check date; latest generation, stock, price and recall completeness not established.
- Parts diagram is an identification/reference link, not authorization or instructions for owner internal repair.
- Confirm full nameplate model, type or serial and region before selecting a document or service part.
Read the instructions for the tool and any applicable battery or charger together. Routine owner care stays outside the housing; internal service belongs with the manufacturer or an authorized service provider.

- DEWALT: three distinct drill families
Check DCD794 for confined installation, DCD800 for adjustable lighting with ample space, and DCD805 only when its extra hammer mode suits a real task.
- DCD800 or DCD805?
A shorter head or an extra drilling mode? Compare the two drills for cabinets, woodwork and small masonry holes, including batteries and kit cost.
- Plan DCD805 hammer work
The US Type 1 manual lists 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) as the maximum recommended carbide-bit masonry capacity for DCD805. That is one configuration check, not permission to drill an unknown wall.
- DEWALT package audit
794D1 supplies one battery and DCB107; 800D2 and 805D2 supply two batteries and DCB112. Consider a bare tool after checking existing power equipment.
- DEWALT stall response
Release immediately; do not cycle a stalled drill. Isolate only after safe standstill. Restart preparation requires an identified corrected cause and restored tool/work conditions.
- DEWALT Type and revisions
Match model, Type, market and the document itself. An EN download path or a related model on the cover does not make every instruction applicable.
- Masonry setup checks
A US DCD805 and HCBG06T provide a documented selection example for a 1/4-inch brick hole, not permission for hidden services, structural anchors or arbitrary concrete work.
