  • Our take on the Dewalt DCD740C1 (1x1.5Ah)

    The DeWalt DCD740C1 is a compact 20V Max cordless drill driver built around a brushless motor and a keyless chuck. Its party trick is a right-angle head that lets it drive screws and drill in tight spots where a straight drill will not fit. It is a light-duty tool aimed at cabinet installers, electricians and homeowners doing assembly and small repairs. Against full-size hammer drills it gives up impact function, an LED light and a belt hook, but it beats most of them on reach into corners. Owners like the compact body and the brushless motor's run time; the 1.5Ah battery and the 8.25 lb listed weight are the usual complaints.

    What reviewers say

    Owners rate it as a handy second drill for tight spaces and praise the brushless motor and compact head. The most common complaints are the small battery, the missing LED and the lack of a reverse switch.

    What people mention
    • Right-angle headPraisedOwners say the pivoting head gets into cabinets and stud bays a normal drill cannot reach.
    • BatteryCriticisedThe single 1.5Ah pack is seen as too small for sustained drilling and driving.
    • MotorPraisedThe brushless motor is described as smooth and efficient, with good run time per charge.
    • LightingCriticisedReviewers miss an LED, which most rival drills in this class include.
    • ControlsCriticisedThe absence of a forward/reverse switch and auto lock is called out as a usability gap.
    • WeightMixedSome owners find the listed 8.25 lb heavy for a compact drill, though others say balance is fine.

    Questions and answers

    Can the DCD740C1 drill masonry?
    No. It has no impact function, so it is for wood, metal and plastic. For brick or concrete you need a hammer drill.
    Does it come with a battery and charger?
    The C1 kit includes one 1.5Ah 20V Max battery and a charger. It takes any DeWalt 20V Max pack if you want more run time.
    What makes it different from a normal drill driver?
    The head pivots to a right angle, letting you drill and drive in tight corners. Otherwise it works like a standard keyless-chuck drill driver.
    Is it good for cabinet and furniture work?
    Yes. The compact right-angle head and keyless chuck suit assembly and cabinet installs, and the brushless motor is smooth at low speeds.
    Does it have a light or a belt hook?
    No. There is no LED work light and no belt hook, which are common on rival compact drills.
    Can I use it for heavy framing or deck building?
    It can drive screws, but the 1.5Ah battery and lack of impact make it a light-duty tool. A full-size hammer drill or impact driver is better for heavy work.
    Where is the Dewalt DCD740C1 (1x1.5Ah) cheapest?
    At Lowe's, for $199.00, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Dewalt DCD740C1 (1x1.5Ah)?
