The verdictOur take

The DCD701 is DeWalt's 12V XR brushless sub-compact drill driver, a 2-speed 57.5Nm tool with a 10mm keyless chuck, 15 torque settings and 0.87kg bare. It is sold as a kit with two 2.0Ah packs, a charger and a kitbox, and drills 20mm in wood and 10mm in steel. We rate it a strong little drill driver for light fixing and tight spaces; the 12V DCD703 adds interchangeable heads, and the 18V DCD791 is the step up to 40mm in wood.
