Overview
The DEWALT DCD801QQ2 is built on DEWALT's 20-volt platform with a 2,000 RPM no-load speed, sharing the core motor platform with the DCD801B but sold as a kit configuration. At $259.99 the price premium over the bare tool reflects the included battery and charger content, making it the right choice for buyers entering the DEWALT 20V MAX ecosystem for the first time.
The 4.7-star rating from 136 buyers is strong, consistent with DEWALT's quality reputation. Monthly sales of around 50 units are lower than the bare-tool DCD801B at 900 per month, which makes sense given the higher price point and the fact that many DEWALT buyers already own batteries.
No item weight is listed in the available specs for this listing, though the DCD801 platform is known to be compact. Buyers who already have DEWALT 20V MAX batteries in their shop would do better economically with the DCD801B bare tool, but for those starting fresh, the QQ2 kit removes the hassle of sourcing compatible batteries.
