Overview
The DEWALT DCH293B is a cordless drill built on DeWALT's 20 volt platform, drawing 2 amps and spinning up to 1000 RPM. At about 8.7 pounds and roughly 15 by 4 by 11 inches, it sits in the mid weight range for a one handed drill.
DeWALT positions its 20V line for both jobsite and home use, and the DCH293B's amperage and RPM figures point to a general purpose drilling tool rather than a high torque impact driver. No seller copy or torque rating accompanies this listing, so buyers focused on masonry or heavy fastening work should confirm clutch settings and chuck size before ordering.
- 20 volt battery powered motor
- 2 amp draw at up to 1000 RPM
- Weighs approximately 8.7 pounds
- Measures about 15.3 x 4 x 10.6 inches
Who it's for
Anyone who already owns 20V DeWALT batteries and wants another drill for general wood, metal or light masonry drilling. Less suited to buyers needing documented torque specs or a stated chuck size, since neither appears in the available data.
Pros and cons
- Runs on the widely available 20V platform
- 1000 RPM suits controlled drilling and driving
- Moderate 8.7 pound weight for one handed use
- No stated torque rating or chuck size
- Battery and charger not confirmed as included
Performance notes
The 1000 RPM top speed and 2 amp draw suggest a drill tuned for control over raw speed, useful for driving screws and drilling clean holes rather than high volume masonry work. Running on the 20 volt platform ties output directly to whichever amp hour battery is paired with it, so a larger battery pack will generally sustain runtime and torque better than a compact one.
