A professional cordless right-angle drill engineered to deliver compact, high-performance drilling in confined spaces. Comfortable handling and durable construction give tradespeople confidence on-site, with the DEWALT Right Angle Drill. Does the compact form hold up under sustained, heavy use?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Drilling Performance: High torque in a low-profile layout, supported by a fan-cooled motor
- • Best for: Tradespeople and DIYers who need access in tight, awkward spaces
- • Not ideal for: Heavy masonry or large-diameter boring tasks that need hammer action
Compact right-angle form couples a fan-cooled high-performance motor with a 10mm keyless chuck and two-speed all-metal transmission. On-tool LED, magnetic bit holder and belt hook improve usability on-site.
Access tight spaces - With right-angle, ultra-compact design
Right-angle head shortens overall length and places the chuck closer to the body of the tool, enabling access between joists and inside cabinets. Ultra-compact construction reduces bulk while preserving control.
Easier drilling in confined areas makes tasks like plumbing, cabinet fitting and overhead work quicker and less awkward. Manoeuvrability reduces the need for awkward extensions or awkward repositioning.
Sustained performance under load - Thanks to a fan-cooled high-performance motor
Fan-cooled motor circulates air across internal components to maintain operational temperature during prolonged use, reducing thermal strain on the motor. The cooling keeps power output more consistent under load.
Users experience reliable torque during longer jobs, with reduced risk of overheating-related power drop. Suitable for repetitive trade tasks where maintaining speed and torque matters.
Fast, secure bit changes - With 10mm keyless chuck and automatic spindle lock
Compact 10mm keyless chuck allows push-and-turn bit replacement while the automatic spindle lock holds the spindle steady for safe single-handed changes. Magnetic bit holder keeps a spare bit at hand.
Switching between screws and drill bits is quicker, cutting downtime on-site. Magnetic holder and belt hook keep essential items accessible, improving workflow efficiency.
