DEWALT DCD778M1T-GB 18V XR Brushless Cordless Combi Drill – 1 × 4.0Ah Battery, Charger & TSTAK Case

Overview

Take on drilling, screwdriving and masonry work with the DEWALT DCD778M1T-GB 18V XR Brushless Cordless Combi Drill Kit.

Designed around an efficient brushless motor, the DCD778 delivers up to 65Nm hard torque and 26Nm soft torque, providing strong performance for everyday trade work, installation, maintenance and demanding DIY applications.

Its two-speed gearbox offers 0–500rpm in low gear for greater control and torque, or up to 1,750rpm in high gear for faster drilling. Hammer mode increases impact frequency to as much as 29,750 beats per minute, helping compatible masonry bits make efficient progress through brick and similar materials.

This complete M1T kit includes a 4.0Ah XR battery with charge indicator, charger and TSTAK-compatible carry case, giving you a ready-to-work cordless package rather than a bare tool.

Key Features & Benefits

• Power Through Demanding Jobs – 65Nm Maximum Torque
  The DCD778 produces up to 65Nm hard torque and 26Nm soft torque, giving you the strength needed for drilling and fastening across a wide range of materials.
• Longer Runtime & Lower Maintenance – Brushless Motor
  DEWALT identifies XR-branded tools such as this as brushless, with the motor designed to transfer energy more efficiently than conventional brushed designs while eliminating carbon-brush maintenance.
• Three Functions in One Tool – Drill, Drive & Hammer Drill
  Switch between screwdriving, standard rotary drilling and percussion drilling, making one tool useful for timber, metal, fixings and masonry.
• Better Control – Two Mechanical Speeds
  Low gear runs from 0–500rpm for controlled fastening and higher-torque work, while high gear reaches 0–1,750rpm for faster drilling.
• Powerful Masonry Performance – Up to 29,750bpm
  Hammer action operates at 0–8,500bpm in low gear and up to 0–29,750bpm in high gear, helping suitable masonry bits drill brick and similar materials efficiently.
• Accurate Screwdriving – 15 Torque Settings
  A 15-position adjustable torque control helps you match fastening force to different screw sizes and materials for more consistent results.
• Drill Wood up to 30mm
  DEWALT’s current instruction manual rates the DCD778 for drilling up to 30mm in wood.
• Drill Steel up to 13mm
  Maximum rated steel drilling capacity is 13mm with a suitable bit.
• Drill Masonry up to 13mm
  In hammer mode, the DCD778 is rated for masonry drilling up to 13mm.
• Quick Accessory Changes – 13mm Keyless Chuck
  The 1.5–13mm keyless chuck lets you change drill and screwdriver bits quickly without a separate chuck key.
• Spindle Lock for Easier Bit Changes
  The integrated spindle lock helps make single-handed chuck operation quicker and more secure.
• Variable-Speed Trigger
  Progressive trigger control allows slower starts for accurate positioning before increasing speed as required for the task.
• Forward & Reverse Operation
  Quickly move between drilling/driving and screw removal without changing tools.
• See Your Work Clearly – Integrated LED
  The built-in work light illuminates the drilling or fastening area in cupboards, lofts and other poorly lit spaces.
• Comfortable Handling – Overmoulded Grip
  DEWALT uses an ergonomic overmoulded grip to improve control and comfort during repeated use.
• Compact Tool – Approx. 1.2kg Bare
  The drill itself weighs approximately 1.2kg without a battery, helping reduce fatigue during longer tasks and making it easier to work in confined spaces.
• 4.0Ah XR Battery Included
  The kit includes one 18V XR 4.0Ah lithium-ion battery with charge-level indicator, giving substantially more runtime than smaller-capacity starter packs.
• Part of the DEWALT 18V XR Platform
  Compatible DEWALT 18V XR batteries can be shared across the wider XR tool platform. DEWALT’s 4Ah XR battery range is designed for compatibility across 18V XR tools and XR chargers.
• Organised Storage – TSTAK-Compatible Case
  The supplied carry case keeps the drill, battery and charger together and integrates with compatible DEWALT TSTAK storage systems.

Why Choose This Product

The DEWALT DCD778M1T-GB offers a strong balance of power, portability and runtime for users who want a complete 18V XR kit rather than a bare tool.

Its 65Nm maximum torque is a substantial step up from many entry-level drills, while the two-speed gearbox and hammer action mean it can handle everything from precision screwdriving to timber, steel and light masonry drilling.

The brushless motor is another major advantage, helping improve energy efficiency and reduce maintenance compared with conventional brushed designs.

The inclusion of a 4.0Ah battery also makes this version particularly useful for longer working sessions, while the charger and TSTAK-compatible case mean the package is ready for everyday site, workshop or home use.
