It seems it was once their shortest according to the description in the OP.

My first set was the earlier version of this Atomic set from Black Friday 2022: DCD709 drill/driver and DCF809 impact driver with bag, charger, and 2x 1.5AH batteries (some may have been 1.3AH according to the ad).
It was $150 then but they updated the kit with a shorter DCD794 drill and prices have gone up a lot since 2022 so I we might never see that price again. Not sure I prefer the single 2AH battery though. You might be able to get it with a second battery by waiting but it's a good start regardless.
I also have the monster DCD998 XR PowerDetect drill but I've drilled exactly one hole with it because I keep reaching for my smaller DCD709 Atomic instead… including last night when I needed to drill into a Sega Dreamcast (DCHDMI/DCDigital installation). The DCD794 in this kit is even shorter so I imagine it will be that much better for normal drilling. If I were drilling larger holes in wood (spade bits, hole saws) or concrete/brick (masonry bits for a hammer drill) I'd reach for the bigger one but the Atomic is more appropriate for almost everything.
'Really good deal'
Because of the 2ah battery...
This Reddit thread seems to think the Lowes Model is better. https://www.reddit.com/r/Dewalt/c...vs_dcf840/
