Overview
Weighing in at 21.8 pounds, the DeWalt DCD470X1 is a cordless drill built for the heaviest end of DeWalt's 60 volt FlexVolt lineup, drawing 15 amps and reaching 1320 RPM. That combination of weight and draw sets it apart from DeWalt's lighter FlexVolt drills.
The jump to 15 amps and a 21.8 pound body sets this apart from typical handheld drills, pointing to a tool designed for sustained heavy-duty drilling rather than everyday household use. The X1 kit designation usually means a single battery is included.
- 60 volt battery power source
- 15 amp draw
- Up to 1320 RPM
- 21.8 lb tool weight
Who it's for
Fits contractors and crews running demanding drilling tasks all day on DeWalt's 60V system. A poor match for anyone who needs a light, one-handed drill.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 60V FlexVolt platform with a 15 amp draw
- Speeds up to 1320 RPM
- Built for sustained heavy-duty drilling
- Too heavy for one-handed or overhead work
- Requires 60V FlexVolt batteries
Performance notes
A 15 amp draw and speeds to 1320 RPM on the 60V platform indicate this drill is tuned for torque under load. The 21.8 pound weight is well above typical handheld drills, so expect a two-handed tool suited to fixed or braced drilling work rather than overhead or one-handed tasks.
