SKU : WOR-TOO-554
The DEWALT DCD785C2 20V MAX compact hammer drill kit is a lightweight drill/driver with a hammer function for masonry and concrete. It's built around a two-speed transmission (0–600 and 0–2,000 rpm) and a 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck that holds bits securely. The ergonomic handle and compact body make it comfortable for long overhead or close-quarter work. Best of all, it runs on the 20V MAX battery platform, so it fits seamlessly into your existing DeWalt tool system.
Select low speed for driving large fasteners or beginning holes, then shift to high speed for drilling wood and thin metal. In hammer mode, the DCD785C2 uses its impact mechanism to break through masonry when you apply steady pressure. The LED work light helps in dark crawl spaces.
If the drill runs but won't hammer, first check the mode collar. It must click fully into the hammer position and not sit between settings. Clean dust and debris from the collar and vent slots, then try pressing the drill into the workpiece with firm pressure. If the hammer mode still doesn't engage, the shift assembly may require service. Contact Workbench World support to review your options before replacing parts.
Often the issue is not the motor but the mechanical hammer mechanism. A common cause is the mode selector not being fully rotated. Another is pushing too lightly—hammer drills need consistent force to activate the striking mechanism. If the drill works in normal drill mode but not hammer, that narrows the problem to the hammer assembly.

The DCD785C2 isn't the biggest hammer drill in the line, and that's the point. For drives, hangers, and remodeling work, its short body fits into tool bags and tight spaces while still delivering the torque you need.
Keep the chuck jaws clean and periodically run the drill at full speed to clear dust. If the hammer mode becomes difficult to switch, blow out the collar area with compressed air. This simple step often fixes a stiff mode selector.
With two batteries in the kit, you can rotate packs and keep working. The fuel gauge on the battery tells you when it's time to swap. Store batteries at room temperature and charge them indoors.
Check the mode collar: it must be fully in the hammer position. Use firm pressure on the bit, and clear dust from the collar. If it still won't hammer, the hammer assembly may need service.
Rotate the mode collar to the hammer symbol, then press the drill against the surface with steady pressure.
High speed is 0–2,000 rpm; low speed is 0–600 rpm.
Yes, the DCD785C2 kit includes two 20V MAX batteries and a charger.
No, this model uses a brushed motor, but it is a reliable compact drill for most jobs.

This drill has enough power for most tasks. It's compact, so it fits in tight spaces. The hammer function works well on brick. The battery life is good for a compact drill. The grip is comfortable. I've used it for a year with no issues. Highly recommend.
I use it for home projects. It's lightweight and easy to handle. The only downside is the chuck can be a bit stiff.
It's a solid drill for the money. The hammer mode is useful. Batteries last long enough.
I use this drill daily for electrical work. It punches through concrete block easily. The compact size is perfect for switch boxes. The two-speed gearbox gives good control. The ratcheting chuck holds bits securely. The LED light is a nice touch. I've recommended it to my colleagues.
Works okay.
I love the size of this drill. It fits in my toolbox easily. The power is surprisingly good for delicate and heavy tasks. The hammer drill setting is effective. The battery charges quickly. This kit is a great value.
The drill is solid, but the battery lacks a fuel gauge. Not a deal breaker, but inconvenient.
I used it to put up curtains and shelves. It works well. The drill is a bit heavy after a while, but manageable.
I bought this for basic drilling and it's great. The hammer function is a bonus. It's well built. The case is compact. I'm satisfied.
I'm not handy, but this was simple to use. It did the job.
