Quick Take
You're choosing between four bare-tool cordless drills and drivers built for the battery platform you already own. None of the four includes a battery or charger, and the listed prices run from $48.99 to $74.99. Three of the four listings are marked open box; only the DEWALT DCD805 is described as new. Each tool takes a different approach to drilling and fastening, so the right pick depends on the kind of work you do most often.

Product Notes
DEWALT DCD805 20V MAX
Choose this if you want a new drill tool at USD 48.99. The brushless motor and percussion chuck make it a direct addition to a Dewalt 20V MAX system. One thing to keep in mind: the title calls it an impact drill driver, not a hammer drill driver, so it's not the same as the Makita. The listing also leaves out a battery and charger, so you'll need to have those on hand. If you already have Dewalt 20V MAX batteries in your toolbox, this is a straightforward way to add a brushless drill tool to the collection.
Milwaukee 2606-20 M18
This is the compact choice for M18 users. The description lists a 7-1/4-inch length and 500 in-lbs of torque, which makes it easy to maneuver in tight spots. The 1/2-inch keyless chuck and all-metal gear case point to a durable drill driver. The motor is brushed, so if you prefer brushless, this isn't the one. For everyday drilling and fastening around the house, it's a straightforward M18 fit. If you already have M18 batteries, this is a practical drill driver for tight spaces.
Milwaukee 3650-20 M18
This is the fastening specialist in the group. The 1/4-inch hex collet accepts standard driver bits, which makes it a good companion for M18 users. Since it's an impact driver, it isn't designed for drilling holes; you'd want a separate drill for that. If your work is mostly screws and bolts, this narrow tool is a direct fit. It shares the M18 platform with the compact drill driver above, so one system covers both.
Makita XPH14Z 18V
At USD 74.99, this is the highest listed price in the comparison. It's the only one described as a hammer drill driver, and the auxiliary handle and belt clip are included. The 1/2-inch keyless chuck rounds out the package. Since it's a hammer drill driver, it's suited for tasks that need a hammering action. If you need that hammer function on the Makita 18V LXT platform, this is the listing to consider. The included auxiliary handle gives you a second grip when you're applying pressure during those hammer-drill tasks.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If you're already on the Dewalt 20V MAX platform, the DCD805 is the lowest-priced entry here. For Makita 18V LXT users, the XPH14Z is the only model with hammer function. If you need a tool that excels in tight spaces, the Milwaukee 2606-20 is the choice. For fastening-heavy work, the Milwaukee 3650-20 is the companion to pick.
