The verdictOur take

The DeWalt DCD740 is a brushed 18V XR compact right-angle drill, a 2-speed 360W tool reaching 2,000rpm with a 10mm keyless chuck, at 1.3kg bare. It is the only two-speed cordless compact angle drill here, drilling 28mm in wood and 10mm in steel between joists and inside cabinets. We rate it a sensible compact angle drill for XR owners; Makita's DDA351 is lighter at 1.1kg on LXT, and Einhell's TE-AD 18 Li is the Power X-Change option.
