DeWalt DCD778D2T-QW 18V XR Brushless Combi Drill Kit with 2 x 2.0Ah Batteries
#1 this week
DeWalt DCD778D2T-QW 18V XR Brushless Combi Drill Kit with 2 x 2.0Ah Batteries
Nothing else in this category comes close on evidence: an exceptional owner rating across the deepest owner record here, and Amazon records 100-plus bought in a month. The reason is the box rather than the spec sheet. Where the Bosch Professional, the Milwaukee and the Makita below it are bare tools, this one is a complete purchase - two 2.0Ah XR packs, a charger and a TSTAK case - so a first-time buyer gets a working drill rather than a working drill plus a shopping list. The tool itself is DeWalt's compact brushless combi: 65Nm of torque, a two-speed gearbox running 0-500 and 0-1,750rpm, a 13mm chuck, a 15-position clutch, and published capacities of 30mm in wood, 13mm in steel and 13mm in masonry. That masonry figure is the honest limit - it will put a 13mm Rawlplug hole through brick all day and it is not the tool for a 100mm core. Two 2.0Ah packs is the other compromise: they keep the drill light and the charger busy, and anyone drilling all day will want a 4.0Ah or 5.0Ah pack from the same XR range, which is a big one - DeWalt's UK site puts it at over 250 products. Register the tool with DeWalt UK within four weeks of purchase and the one-year warranty extends to three.

Common questions
How Top 7 Tools works
How do you choose the Top 7 in each category?
The rankings are AI-assisted and I run the site. Every tool gets a Top7 Score out of 10, and the list is ranked by it: 70% comes from three or four category-specific dimensions scored against a written rubric, 15% from the Amazon UK owner rating and 15% from reviews published by other outlets, which moves to the owner rating where no outlet has scored the tool. Price is never part of the score; it shows up separately, as the Premium, Value and Budget tier on each card. Nothing is tested by hand. Only products available on Amazon UK make the list, and anything that goes out of stock drops off it. No brand pays for placement.
Are the links on Top 7 Tools affiliate links?
Yes. They are advertising, and they are labelled as such where they appear. top7tools.uk is part of the Amazon Associates Program and may earn a small commission when you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you. Commissions never move a rank; products are scored on merit alone.
How often are prices updated?
Listings are re-checked every day. Amazon only lets a site publish a price that came from its own API, and API access opens once a site reaches a sales threshold, so until then every card says "Check price" and links straight to the live listing. Once it opens, prices appear here in pounds. Either way, the price you pay is the one shown on Amazon at checkout.
Do prices include VAT and delivery?
Prices reflect what Amazon UK lists for the tool, which is VAT-inclusive for UK buyers. Delivery varies by item and seller: many products ship free with Prime.
Why only the UK?
Every tool on the list is one you can actually buy and have delivered in the UK, with reasonable delivery. International sites often miss UK voltage compatibility, plug type, warranty, or pricing. top7tools exists to fix that.
