The verdictOur take

The DeWalt DCD470 is a 54V FlexVolt brushless stud & joist angle drill that also core drills, with 269Nm, 2,600W, two speeds up to 1,320rpm and a 13mm keyed metal chuck. It takes self-feed bits to 100mm and hole saws to 150mm, and adds E-Clutch anti-kickback protection, but at 7kg bare it is the heaviest angle drill here. We rate it a heavy hitter for big holes on FlexVolt; on 18V XR packs, the DCD444 is lighter at 4.1kg for hole saws to 102mm.
