Overview
Measuring 13 inches long but just 4.5 inches wide, the DEWALT DCD740B is a 20V MAX drill shaped to reach into tight spaces.
The listed dimensions, 13 inches long but only 4.5 inches wide, point to a slim-bodied design meant for working in confined areas like cabinet interiors or stud bays rather than open bench work. At 2000 RPM it is geared toward driving and general drilling speed rather than high-torque heavy boring. It shares DEWALT's 20V MAX battery system, common across the brand's cordless line.

Who it's for
Installers and remodelers who need a slim-profile 20V drill for tight spaces such as cabinets or wall cavities. Less suited to anyone who wants a short, compact drill body for general use, given this model's elongated shape.
Pros and cons
- 20V MAX battery platform
- Slim body for tight spaces
- 2000 RPM drilling speed
- Longer body than a standard compact drill
- Battery and charger typically sold separately as a bare tool

Performance notes
At 2000 RPM and 3.25 pounds, the DCD740B trades bulk for length, and its 13 inch dimension is built to slide into narrow gaps where a standard drill body would not fit.
