Our take on the Dewalt Xtreme 12-Volt Max 3/8-in Keyless Brushless Cordless Drill

The DeWalt Xtreme 12V Max (DCD701) is a compact brushless drill/driver built for tight spaces and light-to-medium fastening. Its brushless motor and 15-position clutch give it more control and runtime than older 12V brushed drills, and the LED foot light helps in cabinets and under sinks. It is not a replacement for an 18V hammer drill on masonry or large hole saws. Owners like the size and smooth trigger; the main complaints are the small 3/8-in chuck and the limited power on hard materials.

Pros
  • Short body fits between studs and inside cabinets
  • Brushless motor runs cooler and lasts longer than brushed 12V drills
  • 15 clutch settings prevent stripping small screws
  • LED foot light lights the work surface, not the user's eyes
  • Kit includes battery and charger, so it is ready to use
Cons
  • 3/8-in chuck limits it to smaller bits and hole saws
  • Less torque than 18V/20V drills on hardwood and metal
  • Single-speed gearbox, no two-speed range like larger drills
  • Battery capacity is modest for long jobs

What reviewers say

Reviewers and owners rate the DCD701 highly for its compact size, light weight and smooth trigger, and many use it as a daily driver for assembly and service work. Criticism centers on the 3/8-in chuck and the power ceiling on tougher materials.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the short body reaches places larger drills cannot.
  • PowerMixedFine for screws and small holes, but it bogs down on hardwood and metal.
  • ChuckCriticisedThe 3/8-in keyless chuck limits bit and hole saw sizes.
  • LightPraisedThe foot-mounted LED is called out as useful in cabinets and under sinks.
  • BatteryMixedRuntime is good for light work but short under continuous load.

Questions and answers

Is this drill strong enough for deck building?
No. It is a 12V compact drill meant for screws and small holes. For deck boards and lag screws, use an 18V or 20V drill.
Can it drill into masonry?
Only with a masonry bit in soft brick or mortar, and slowly. It has no hammer mode, so it is not a substitute for a hammer drill.
What comes in the kit?
The kit includes the drill, one 12V Max battery and a charger. Bits and a case are not included.
Does it accept 1/2-in bits?
No. The chuck is 3/8 in, so it takes bits with a 3/8-in or smaller shank.
How does it compare with the older 12V Max brushed drill?
The brushless DCD701 is shorter, runs cooler and gets more work per charge. It costs more than the brushed model but lasts longer.
Is it good for cabinet installation?
Yes. The short body and clutch make it easy to drive screws inside cabinets and overhead without stripping them.
Where is the Dewalt Xtreme 12-Volt Max 3/8-in Keyless Brushless Cordless Drill cheapest?
At Lowe's, for $119.00, as of our latest check.
