DEWALT18V XR Right Angle Drill with Bit Holder and Belt Hook, DCD740N-XJ

Angled DrillI don’t know whether you have tried the right angle drill attachments but they have a real problem. Not only is there a rotational force opposite to the direction of the drill or screwdriver bit that you have to control but there is also a second rotational force that’s attempting to spin the entire attachment. Using them is not the easiest of things to do, especially with screws the forces involved are much higher and it gets pretty difficult to hold everything in place. The right angle drill is much easier to use and actually isn’t that much more expensive than a good adapter.Typical DeWalt Quality, nothing to comment on there. The dimension by the way are in inches not as Amazon says in cm. If you take a standard DeWalt drill and bend it straight it’s about the same size and weight. Slightly thinner.My only compliant is the drill hasn’t got a clutch. Why not DeWalt? Thank heavens it does at least have two speeds. The slow speed, in my humble opinion, is a little fast. It's too slow for a drill but a little fast for screwdriving. The on/off is a speed control though so it's possible to control.The drill is very quiet and the blue flashes indicate its not brushless! Instead of the normal 13mm the chuck is 10mm. A 10mm drill fits in easy and in fact you might be lucky and get an 11mm in there but certainly no more than that.First thing I do with all DeWalt is remove the belt clip! Looks handy but truth is that it catches on almost everything so it’s better gone.Personally I think if you are second fix ( work like fixtures and fittings – skirting boards, doors, kitchens, and other fine work ) then an angled drill is perhaps the most important purchase you will make. It strange to me that most people these days will buy an impact driver when in fact the more obvious choice is an angled driver. An impact driver is more a first fix tool ( rougher, heavier work such as structural timber work ) and is so darn noisy you really don’t want to use one in a second fix situation.Great little drill. Buy one and think about it later.

Great bit of kit,I used it on a restricted job where any normal drill wasn’t small enough.Good power even into masonry .

It's Dewalt, nice product good price. Beware description talks about battery and charger, you don't get these and i didn't expect to get them for this price.

Received 26/2/25 everything I thought the drill should be was the case.Working very good.

Not strong but great for thin aluminium and thin steel .

great drill, I needed this in a tight spot, when a normal drill was unable to fit, a must for any tool kit, good price for a DeWalt drill, very pleased, thank's, Kev.

This is a great drill for getting in tight spaces. I used it with a small grinding wheel under a bath to cut nuts and bolts. Brilliant! I could not have done the job without it.

This is the tool I didn’t know I needed until I owned one!Good for getting in tight corners, between joists etc. I’ve even put the odd screwdriver bit in it.. very versatile!Well worth adding to your tool box !
