The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The DEWALT DCF622B delivers 2,000 RPM from a 20V MAX cordless platform and weighs just 2.8 pounds. That combination puts it among the faster, lighter options in this price tier. Dimensions of 8.2 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 11.1 inches tall describe a tool designed for maneuverability rather than bulk.
With 821 reviews at 4.6 stars and roughly 200 units sold per month, the DCF622B holds a strong satisfaction score across its owner base. The 200-unit monthly demand is steady for a premium-priced bare tool that targets users within an established battery platform.
At $169.99, this is one of the higher-priced drills in the category. The value case rests on the 2,000 RPM top speed and the DEWALT platform's depth, which means the battery can power a broad range of other 20V tools. Buyers entering the ecosystem fresh should price in a battery and charger.
Pros
- 2,000 RPM top speed is among the highest in the 20V drill class reviewed here
- 2.8-pound weight is genuinely light for a 20V platform drill
- 4.6-star rating across 821 reviews shows consistent owner satisfaction
- DEWALT 20V MAX battery platform is broad and widely available
Cons
- At $169.99, it is one of the more expensive drills in this segment, especially as a bare tool
- No amperage or torque spec published, making it harder to compare peak power output
- 11.1-inch height means it is a taller tool that may be less comfortable in very confined overhead spaces

Performance notes
Cordless 20V MAX platform, 2,000 RPM top speed, 2.8-pound body, 8.2 inches long by 3 inches wide by 11.1 inches tall. The high RPM ceiling supports fast drilling through wood and drywall. Weight and dimensions favor sustained overhead or tight-space use compared to heavier 20V tools.
What buyers say
Owners consistently point to the light weight and fast speed as the DCF622B's strongest qualities. DEWALT brand loyalty features heavily in positive reviews, with many owners citing cross-compatibility across their 20V MAX tool collection. The main criticism is the price for a bare tool, which some buyers feel requires a clearer total-cost comparison.

Frequently asked questions
Does the DEWALT DCF622B come with a battery and charger?
The DCF622B is sold as a bare tool. The B suffix in DEWALT naming indicates bare tool only. A compatible 20V MAX battery and charger must be purchased separately or obtained from another kit.
Is 2,000 RPM overkill for a DIY homeowner?
Not necessarily. Higher RPM gives you more speed when drilling pilot holes or driving screws quickly. Most variable-speed drills let you control actual speed with trigger pressure, so 2,000 RPM is the ceiling, not the constant setting.
