RYOBI ONE+ HP Right Angle Drill
Score: 78/100Rankings
The DEWALT DCD740B is a compact, cordless 20V MAX right-angle drill designed for accessing tight spaces with a 3/8-inch keyed/ratcheting chuck. It delivers 360 in-lb of torque with dual speeds but lacks the efficiency of a brushless motor. It is best suited for professionals or DIY users needing access in confined areas like plumbing or cabinetry.
The Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Compact Right Angle Drill is a specialized tool designed for drilling and fastening in tight spaces, featuring a compact 3.6-inch length and a brushless motor. It lacks onboard LED lights and requires separate battery purchase, which are notable trade-offs for users seeking an all-in-one solution. It is best suited for users needing a compact drill for overhead applications and close-quarter drilling in cabinetry, plumbing, and electrical work.
