Great tool, makes it easier to use in places where you can't use a regular drillJust really easy to use. Able to get into tighter spots because of the right angle.Awesome toolPráctico.Nice slim easy to carry around just love itI have not used the tool yet however I just opened it tonight I unzipped the bag and closed it and the corner tore already (see pix). All my other plastic hard case dewalt tools still still have not broken. I, like others am disappointed with the soft case. I will contact Dewalt and see if they'll replace it or ship me a new one however, I won't go through all the trouble of sending things back I just don't have the time to deal with it. Will let you know how the tool works. I have a lot of duct work to put in and holes to cut. I'll give Dewalt a chance to make it right.My husband loves this tool, when you need it, nothing else will work. Great dependable brand.Bought my first DeWalt DCD740C1 20V Max angle drill kit in May 2018 from Amazon. Been a workhorse, and still going strong, but decided I wanted a second one to speed up some close quarters projects by not having to swap back and forth drill bits to drivers, so ordered another from Amazon (NOT from a third party seller either time - Amazon direct). FIRST purchase came with a great hard case that, after some Dremel work modifying it, holds a ton of stuff along with the drill.THIS exact same number kit DeWalt DCD740C1 just received today comes not with a hard case now but with one of DeWalt's few cheapo low quality products, namely their 'tool bag'... The picture on Amazon accompanying the drill 'Kit' is not correct....no more hard case unless you buy one separately, IF you can get one from another source.Same drill, same charger, same basic 1.5Ah battery, but a simple cloth bag container.In fairness, I have 2 other of these same bags from various other DeWalt purchases, and they DO hold a ton and hold up better than they look like they would, but do NOT protect the contents at all. The 'new normal' is, it appears, buy same, get less.My fault, I suppose, because I should have known that a kit I paid 188 bucks for 2 1/2 years ago would not be the equal of one I paid 35 bucks less for this time, despite the same part number.The 4 inch measurement is to the tapered part, and not front-to-back. In my case, this made a big difference and it wouldn't fit the application for which I specifically bought it.Feedback also provided to DeWalt, but they have chosen to ignore it.In the end, I'm quite disappointed, given I've happy used Dewalt's products and trusted the brand for several years.I have a 20v drill and hammer drill kit already so im familiar with dewalt producs and love there tools. I wish i could love this drill. First it comes in a bag, not a hard case but no big deal. The drill itself is a good concept but if you're drilling into metal, the chuck does not grab bits tight enough. The drill bits slip, a lot. Also there's not enough torque so the bits jam lot. Might look at something with more power. Returned item for refund as soon as i got it. Customer service A1.Overall it's a good tool to have and will come in handy. The picture showed a hard plastic case which I prefer my individual tools in but it actually came with a tote style of bag.Good power in a small package that can get into tight spaces which is why I purchased this drill. A brushless version would be nice but the amount of time I will use this as opposed to my regular Dewalt drill it won't matter that much. Highly recommended.The drill it self is pretty decent, I used it to drill many holes now; through a floor joist, and many2x4's.What I don't like is the placement of the handle. I believe we're supposed to hold the drill near the bottom (near the battery). However, I prefer to hold it a little higher up. But at this position the drill is a bit too thick for my hands; I wear medium gloves.Overall the drill is nice, and does the job.
