Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT 1/2-in Keyed Drill

This Drill will be your Best Friend! - 10 Stars!

I am a home builder/re-modeler and have owned this drill, who I referred to as "Big Bertha" for over 10 yrs, she finally passed today, Sep 9, 2018 and will be greatly missed. However, she will be reborn this week when I stop by my favorite home remodeling store, "LOWES!" to pick up another one. I have done so many jobs with Big Bertha in the rain, sleet, and snow. She has build many floors, kitchens, decks, bathrooms, and full basement installs. She has been thrown around, dropped, rained on...

Non rachetting

I needed a drill that did not rachet when drilling in dense wood. This drill is very powerful and easy to use.

Powerful Drill

Works great, will get hot with continued heavy drilling, must drill some and give it time to cool so you don't burn up drill

Great drill!

This drill is so powerful and easy to use with the handle. Probably the last drill I will ever need to buy in my life!

Brand New Out of the box this drill did not work!!

I opened the box, plugged it in and nothing. I whacked it with the heel of my hand and it went "RRR" for a half a second. Obviously an electrical problem. Obviously no quality control. There went an hour car ride to the store and and back as well as my building plans for the day. Dewalt, I am disappointed. I have a few Dewalt tools, will I get any more? It's doubtful at this point.

Hammer time

Can’t go wrong with Dewalt products and this 10 amp hammer drill is no exception. This drill makes any drilling job easy.

dewalt 10 amp 1/2 in keyed corded drill

used several times...works as expected... awesome drill...love my cordless but sometimes just not enough force.

Good drill

I only use this thing to mix mud. Works great for that.

Dewalt, the newest toy maker!

My cordless Dewalt = 10 years and still going. New corded Dewalt = 10 minutes. Who puts a chuck on a threaded shaft? What is this a toy? Stay away from Dewalt!

Great Drill

I purchased the Dewalt 1/2" Drill to replace a Milwaukee Drill that was over 20 years old. The Dewalt Drill is a much better Drill and has variable speed which is great.

Too fast, not enough torque

I bought this drill for heavy duty purposes where battery drills neither have the torque or run-time needed. Situations like drilling many holes in steel plate greater than 1/4" and using large 24" long wood augers, etc. I made this choice as it was the highest AMP 1/2" drill at my local Lowes, and it had a metal gearbox instead of plastic, which is usually a sign of increased capability. I'm used to drills in this class having a max speed of ±500 RPM. This drill has a max speed of 1,200 RPM whi...

Awesome Power

It is indeed powerful... I have been working rechargeable screwdrivers and $19.99 drill sets for so long that I forgot what real power felt like...

Good Drill

Have only used it a couple of time but seems to have very good power and torque.
