DEWALT 20V MAX Right Angle Cordless Drill/Driver Kit (DCD740C1)

It’s a DEWALT.They’re usually bullet proof and never fail.This one is no different

This feels like a quality tool, and although Amazon Canada indicates its Chinese-made, that's a typo-goofical error: Amazon US gets it right, DeWalt will tell you the truth, and that's why I got one. Esta hecho en México.Nor is that some kind of weasel-word marketing like the 'assembled in America' Dewalts that are emblazoned with Old Glory (cue the fife and drum) but in fact are put together in USA from kits sent over from 'international sources' (read China). Not this. This little gem comes unequivocally stamped Made in Mexico, although that's not a hundred-percent deal; the charger and the neat little jump bag that comes with it are from China. It is really the only choice for ABC shoppers at any reasonable cost. (Not that there is anything wrong with Chinese quality -- it's just a matter of ethics for some of us.) This drill has a very tough build to it, lots of torque and good design. Two torque settings. If you grip it high you can manipulate the variable speed paddle trigger with all four non-thumbs, but you can also grip it low to use one trigger finger in the usual way. It excels at working in restricted spaces due to the right-angle layout, and it has a feature for that which isn't mentioned in the online bumf: The chuck can take in a driver bit very deeply, leaving only the working tip exposed, for the lowest-profile power screwdriver configuration. But you don't have to shove a drill bit all the way back if you need more of it to penetrate the work piece. The tool has an onboard LED light that is small but mighty. It is located below the chuck, so it causes the chuck and the bit to cast a shadow on the work, but that's physics for you. All in all, there are no real complaints to be made here at all. Of course, that's the opinion of a household DIY-er. If you ask some contractor Marlboro Man on da jawb site, you might hear different.

Great tool.

This drill replaced a much older 12v Dewalt angle drill that seen better days.Plenty of power, not too heavy and feels good in the hand.Extra extended time batteries should be bought with the drill as the factory batteries don’t last long.
