I ordered the DCD777D1 for $89 on amazon a few days ago but it luckily hadn't shipped. For $10 more this is a much better deal. 16% more power, shorter, lighter, and overall newer model. Paired with a $5 off code I had this was definitely a winner for $5 more than that one. Thanks op!
lol someone downvoted me for saying this one was better for $5 more than the older/weaker model? mmk.

This is not the one that you can install offset driver right? Max, Atomic, etc.. Confusing..
Wow Thank you for the link, that looks great but too pricy for DIY to have it just in case. I guess I'll buy the angle adapter for driver only, it was $25 I think. But I need to read about their models even their website doesn't clearly explain differences in model lines. Is Atomic better than max 20V?

Just FYI, IN GENERAL: XR > Atomic > Brushless > Max
Nearly every tool of theirs has "Max" as it's in the name, "20V Max", if it has ONLY this it's usually a more basic and/or lower end tool.
Brushless is the next level up, a good rule of thumb is that if it doesn't state it's brushless, it's probably a brushed tool.
Atomic is their next line up, usually marketed as a smaller and compact tool. They usually also state brushless, some of these are near top of the line.
XR is the high end stuff, if it has "XR" printed on it then you can usually assume it's one of their higher end tools.
There are some different levels within these on specific tools but this is a good starting point.

So many choices but at least the batteries are compatible if you upgrade.
Dewalt, Craftsman, Stanley, Porter-cable, Irwin, Proto, Mac Tools, Bostitch, and Lenox tools are all made by the same company: "Black and Decker". I am puzzled why they do not at least make their (same voltage) batteries cross compatible. Example: Porter Cable 20v batteries are identical specs to B&D 20v but they have a small plastic notch that you have to shave off to fit B&D tools. This forces consumers to buy, charge, and store multiple brands of batteries that are essentially the same in function and specs.
I use this Atomic drill with a 1.5AH battery, and it does 90% of what I need around the house. I only recharge it once a year. Rarely do I need the much larger hammer drill.
