Model overview based on user reviews  
The DeWALT DCD790D2 drill-driver is praised for its excellent ergonomics and compact design, making it one of the smallest in its class. It features two-speed settings, allowing for versatile use with a speed range of 600 to 2000 rpm. The tool is powerful, with a peak torque of 60 Nm, outperforming less expensive models. The keyless chuck is made of durable nitrided steel, providing a secure grip, though it struggles with small drills. Weighing only 1.6 kg, it is well-balanced and easy to handle. The batteries have a unique saving mode, charging up to 80% to extend battery life by 70-80%. However, the motor brake can cause the chuck to spin at full speed, potentially leading to dropped contents, and the battery has a slight looseness in its fitting. Overall, it's a good model for furniture assembly and household tasks, despite its higher price point.
Pros

Cons

good model, I liked it.
30 October 2017 
I bought for furniture and assembly work, and to do some housework. Of course, I poured a lot of money, the barefoot could have been taken much cheaper, but dewalt praised my partner so much that I could not resist. Everyone wants to work with a good tool, though not all manufacturers have such rigid prices.
Ergonomics are just awesome. Itself is small, the length is probably the smallest of all screwdrivers of this class. Allows you to turn screws up to 7mm and drill 40mm in wood and 13mm in metal. It has two speeds, the first limits the speed to 600 rpm, and the second spins the cartridge up to 2000 rpm. In other words, if it had a side handle, then it would be possible to work like a completely adult drill. He has a lot of power, the peak torque reaches 60 Nm, in this sense he is very good and the less expensive Boshi did not even lie next to him. The keyless chuck is also very good. It is made of extra hard nitrided steel and has special notches for a stronger and more secure bit grip. True, this does not allow him to work with small drills, there is such a problem. It weighs a little (1.6kg) and is well balanced. Batteries of average capacity, but have one distinctive feature. There is a saving mode for lithium-ion batteries in which the charge is not completely, but only up to 80%. That is, there are actually 2.5 Ah batteries, but their nominal capacity is not specifically used to the end. This mode prolongs battery life by about 70-80%.
The built-in motor brake, working at full speed (2000 rpm), often spins the chuck. And if the cartridge was not directed upwards, then its contents fly out and fall to the floor. It’s good if you stand on the floor, but if you work on the stairs? The battery sits in its place loosely, there is a slight backlash.
