DeWalt Drill Black Friday 2026: Which Cordless Drill to Pick

For most home jobs, a 20V MAX drill driver is the safe pick: it drills wood and metal and drives screws. Choose a hammer drill only if you will bore into brick or concrete. Brushless XR models are the step up, and a listing should say whether a battery and charger come with it.

Drill driver or hammer drill?

DeWalt’s drill range includes separate drill driver and hammer drill categories. A drill driver turns the bit. A hammer drill also pulses forward for masonry. Some hammer drills can switch the pulsing off, so they can do both jobs.

The DeWalt Black Friday guide covers the full range, including impact drivers, which suit long screws better than drilling.

Brushed or brushless

DeWalt’s drill listings can be filtered by brushed or brushless motors, and its 20V MAX XR drill driver is described as brushless. Check the title for the word brushless, since a listing for an older brushed model can look similar at a glance. A brushed drill still covers light household work.

Bare tool or kit

A “tool only” title means the drill arrives without a battery or charger. If you already have 20V MAX batteries, that is a good fit. If not, look for a listing that names the batteries and the charger. DeWalt’s own kit pages show combinations such as one drill with a second tool; see the combo kit page for those.
