First deal.
This is brushless with 2 x 2.0 AH batteries.
We have been battering these drills for 8hrs a day 5 days a week at work for 8 months and still going strong.
This price is little more than you would pay for a bare body only.
So I have bought 4 more.

Decent Combi alternative seen here same price for DCD785 Combi, albeit with 2 x 1.5Ah batteries.

I bought the hammer drill version DCD795D2 from Screwfix for £199 yet this place wants £219.99 +VAT = £263.99.
So if you want the hammer drill version head over to Screwfix.com.

ITS do the DCD795 with 1 x 4.0Ah battery for £179 ? Seen here
Swings and roundabouts re 1 x 4.0Ah or 2 x 2.0Ah, tradesmen would prefer the 4.0 but average DIYers would probably benefit more from the 2.0.

I have already bought it so not fussed TBH but I would of if I had paid £263.99 from ITS
AFAIK both trade and DIY would prefer TWO batteries as they can continue using/working whilst one battery is charging, and if both are charged then no benefit from one 4.0 amp battery over 2 2.0 amp.

Good brand, but is it really £120 worth of drill? These 'professional' brands are selling a lot of home/consumer stuff these days.

IMO, yes, this is aimed at professional use, not many manufacturers have a brushless combi in this price range.
Some brands are targeting B&Q etc with 'unique' power tools that have batteries not compatible across the range, Makita being a prime example, purely relying on there excellent LXT ranges' reputation, they have a cheaper and inferior version for the DIY market.

Great driver heat. Prefer corded hammers anyhow.

Benefit from 2 x 2.0Ah over a 4.0Ah is the weight, the tradesman would appreciate the weight to longevity of a 4.0Ah, and more than likely have other power tools in the same range so would have multiple batteries,but IMHO the average DIYer would prefer 2 x 2.0Ah batteries as this would be easier (lighter) to use, a 2.0Ah would be more than ample for around the home jobs and would give piece of mind that they had a spare should the first battery develop a fault.

fine for DIY but no good for site. Dewalt is not a great brand anymore.

Couldn't disagree more.
There not the best, but they still produce great tools.

Thats OK, I know some people still like them but it's well known that the quality has gone down hill. They uses to be made in the USA but they are now made in China and places like that, using cheaper parts. Fine for light work but much better off with Bosch or Festool.
