Where it sits among stud & joist angle drills
Scaled against the 11 angle drills (stud & joist) we list, so other sizes aren't in the mix. Not a score: bigger isn't always better for your job.

Performance
What It Can Bore
Physical & Build
The DeWalt DCD444 is an 18V XR brushless stud & joist angle drill, with 220Nm, a single speed of 1,250rpm and a 13mm keyed metal chuck, at 4.1kg bare. It takes self-feed bits to 65mm and hole saws to 102mm, and has E-Clutch anti-kickback protection. We rate it a strong 18V choice for plumbers and electricians; for bigger hole saws the FlexVolt DCD470 goes to 150mm, and Bosch's GRD 18V-127 is lighter at 3.1kg with its own kickback control.
