DeWalt Atomic Drill Design
- Length:
- 5.88 inches (Drill/Driver)
- 6.49 inches (Hammer Drill)
- Onboard LED light
- Variable speed trigger
DeWalt aimed for a slimmer, more compact profile when designing these tools. The brand claims that they feature the shortest tool head lengths in its portfolio. The Atomic drill/driver measures 5.88 inches long, and the hammer drill clocks in at 6.49 inches.
On top of the compact design, these tools also have a few standard convenience features, including an onboard LED light and variable speed trigger.
DeWalt Atomic Drill Price
The drill driver retails for $139.99 as a bare tool. If you want the hammering function, the hammer drill sells for $20 more at $159.99. We recommend going for the latter option if you’re able to since the hammer drill performs the same functions as the drill. Plus it comes in handy if you ever need that hammering mechanism for drilling in concrete or masonry.
DeWalt backs your purchase with a 3-year warranty.
