Overview
At 2,000 RPM, the DEWALT DCD740B delivers the highest listed free speed among the cordless right-angle drills in this group. Combined with a 20-volt platform and a 20-amp motor spec, it is built for drilling in demanding materials where lower-voltage compact models slow down. At 3.25 pounds, it is heavier than the Milwaukee 2415-20's 2.3 pounds, reflecting the larger motor capacity.
Eight hundred units were purchased last month, the strongest demand signal across all right-angle drills in this lineup. That volume confirms the DCD740B as a widely trusted staple among tradespeople already running the DEWALT 20V MAX platform. At $125.00, the tool-only price is accessible for platform users who already own batteries.
This listing shows zero reviews on the specific ASIN, which likely reflects most customer feedback residing on a kit or parent listing. The 4.7-star rating published for this listing remains a positive indicator. Buyers should check the full product family for a complete review picture.
