Screwdriver DEWALT DCD796E1T 18V 70/27Nm 1x1.7Ah Powerstack

The DEWALT DCD796E1T 18V screwdriver combines a compact form factor with a high-performance motor to deliver reliable drilling and fastening for a wide range of jobs. Designed for users who need power in a small package, this cordless screwdriver offers two torque settings — a higher 70 Nm for demanding fastening and a lower 27 Nm for precision work — paired with a 1.7 Ah Powerstack battery that supports extended operation and quick tool response. The tool’s compact dimensions facilitate access in confined spaces while maintaining consistent power output for repetitive tasks.

Advantages

The compact design improves maneuverability and access in tight areas without compromising on torque. The dual torque settings allow switching between high-power fastening and delicate applications, making the tool versatile across different materials and screw sizes. The 18V Powerstack battery provides a balance of runtime and reduced weight compared with larger battery types, and the high-performance motor ensures efficient drilling and sustained torque under load. Ergonomic features enhance control during prolonged use.

Suitable for

• General assembly and installation work where both high torque and precision are required

How to use

Charge the Powerstack battery fully before first use and insert it into the tool until it locks in place. Select the appropriate torque setting for the task — use the higher 70 Nm setting for larger screws and tougher materials, and switch to 27 Nm for delicate or precision fastening. Fit the correct bit or drill to the chuck and secure it. Hold the tool with a firm two-handed grip where possible, align the bit with the fastener or drill point, and apply steady pressure while operating the trigger. Release the trigger to stop rotation and allow the tool to come to a complete stop before removing the bit from the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate screw bits and drill bits matched to the material and fastener size to reduce wear and improve fastening quality. For sustained heavy-duty use, allow short cooling periods to maintain motor performance. Store the battery and tool in a dry environment and follow manufacturer safety instructions regarding charging and battery handling.
