Overview
The DEWALT DCD701B is a battery powered drill running on 12 volts at up to 1500 RPM, weighing 1.9 pounds. Its light weight and compact voltage class point to one-handed jobs rather than heavy demolition or masonry drilling.
12 volt drills trade raw torque for reduced weight and better reach into tight spots, a common choice for trim, cabinetry and light assembly work over framing or masonry. The listing does not include a battery or charger spec, so confirm what ships in the box against your existing DEWALT 12 volt system.

Who it's for
Fits DIYers and light-duty pros already on DEWALT's 12 volt platform who want a compact drill for trim, furniture assembly or electrical work. Not built for heavy masonry or large-bit boring.
Pros and cons
- Light at 1.9 pounds for one-handed and overhead use

- 1500 RPM suits general driving and light drilling
- Lower torque class than larger DEWALT drills

Performance notes
At 1500 RPM and 12 volts, the motor favors speed and control over raw torque, which suits driving screws and drilling smaller bits rather than boring large holes. The 1.9 pound weight keeps it steady one-handed, especially overhead or in cabinets.
