Meet the DeWalt 12V MAX XTREME 3/8 in. Brushless Compact Cordless Drill/Driver Kit (Battery & Charger) — a thoughtfully engineered, ultra-compact solution for precision drilling and driving in tight spaces. Built for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and professionals who value control, reliability, and real-world durability, this kit brings serious capability to a small footprint.
Power, Precision, and Portability
The heart of this tool is a brushless motor on the 12V MAX platform, delivering efficient performance with less heat and wear over time. With a two-speed gearbox and a maximum speed of 1500 RPM, you can switch seamlessly from delicate screw driving to faster drilling tasks. The 3/8" ratcheting chuck provides a secure, slip-resistant grip on bits, so you can work with confidence in challenging angles or confined spaces.
At under 2 pounds and just 5.97 inches long, this drill/driver slides into tight corners, overhead spots, and cabinet depths where larger tools simply won’t fit. An integrated LED light lights your work area for accurate placement and fewer missed holes or misdriven screws, even in dim basements, attics, or under sinks.
Everything You Need, Ready to Go
- Kit includes: one 12V MAX brushless drill/driver, one 5Ah Li‑ion battery, a charger, and a sturdy case for organized transport and storage.
- Ratcheting 3/8" chuck keeps bits secure during heavy driving and prevents wobble on small fasteners.
- LED work light enhances visibility in tight work zones.
- Compact design paired with a robust battery delivers reliable performance for long sessions without fatigue.
Why It Stands Out
DeWalt’s XTREME line is synonymous with durability in demanding conditions. This 12V MAX model combines a brushless motor for efficiency and longevity with a compact, lightweight form factor that doesn’t compromise torque or control. The result is a drill/driver that excels at assembly, installation, and maintenance tasks where precision and a light touch matter—think cabinet installs, furniture build, shelving mounting, and quick hole-drilling in wood or soft metals.
Ideal For
- Homeowners tackling DIY projects around the house
- Tradespeople who need a compact, nimble drill/driver for tight spaces
- Furniture makers and installers performing precision driving and shallow drilling
