DeWALT 12V MAX Tools
DeWALT XTREME 12V MAX Cordless Tools
DeWALT 12V MAX is built for work where size and weight matter more than raw power. Most tools here are XTREME brushless models: the DCD701 drill/driver, the DCD703 5-in-1 drill/driver with interchangeable chucks, the DCD706 hammer drill, the DCF801 impact driver, the DCF901 1/2-inch impact wrench, and 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch ratchets. Saws include a one-handed reciprocating saw and a 5-3/8-inch circular saw, plus an oscillating multi-tool. Lights, a jobsite radio, a green laser, and batteries share the platform.
What to Look For
- Tool only or kit. Tool-only models fit an existing 12V MAX battery setup. Kits like the DCD701F2 add batteries and a charger.
- Ratchet reach. The DCF503E extended reach ratchet gets deeper into engine bays and equipment than the standard DCF503.
- Chuck options. The DCD703 swaps chuck heads, so one tool covers several drilling and driving setups.
- Crossover gear. Some lights, radios, and the 3x360 green laser run on both 12V MAX and 20V MAX packs.

DeWALT 12V MAX Tools FAQ
Should I choose 12V MAX or 20V MAX?
Choose 12V MAX for cabinet installs, mechanical work, and other jobs in tight spaces. Choose 20V MAX for framing, heavy drilling, and cutting. The batteries do not interchange, but some lights, radios, and chargers work with both.
