Cordless drill DeWalt DCD708 18V keyless chuck — body only (tool only)

The DeWalt DCD708 18V cordless drill driver (body only) is a compact, lightweight tool engineered for drilling and screwdriving in confined spaces. With an 18V motor platform and a keyless chuck, the unit enables quick bit changes and a comfortable grip for extended operation. Supplied as a tool-only model, the drill is compatible with DeWalt 18V battery packs and chargers (sold separately) and is designed for applications where reduced weight and maneuverability matter.

Advantages

The keyless chuck provides rapid bit replacement without additional tools, streamlining workflow on jobs that require frequent accessory changes. The compact form factor improves access in tight areas while reducing operator fatigue during prolonged use. As a body-only option, the product allows users to integrate the drill into existing 18V battery systems, offering flexibility and lower initial cost for professionals and hobbyists who already own compatible batteries.

How to use

Install a compatible 18V battery pack following the battery manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the battery is fully seated and locked. Insert the chosen drill or driver bit into the keyless chuck and tighten by hand until secure. Select the appropriate speed or torque setting for the material and task, then apply steady pressure while operating the trigger. Release the trigger before removing the bit or changing direction. After use, remove the battery pack and store the tool in a dry, safe location.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, match drill speed and torque to the material being worked: lower speeds and higher torque for driving larger screws, higher speeds for drilling small-diameter holes in wood and plastic. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and hearing protection, and keep replacement bits sharp and undamaged to maintain performance and reduce wear on the tool.
