Reliable Construction and Variable-Speed Control
With its powerful 7.8 amp motor, The DEWALT 1/2-Inch VSR Drill is capable of delivering speeds of 0 to 850 rpm. This translates to quick, versatile drilling and driving. At the heart of the DW235G's long-lasting performance is a set of heat-treated, helical-cut steel gears that provide extended tool life and exceptional durability.

Designed for Versatility and Durability
As versatile as it is powerful, the DW235G functions well for both steel and wood applications. When working with a spade bit in wood, the drill offers a 1-1/2-inch capacity, and with an auger bit in wood, it can handle a 1-1/8-inch bit. The drill can handle a 2-1/8-inch self-feed bit and a 3-1/2-inch hole saw in wood. It can also handle a 1/2-inch twist bit or a 2-inch hole saw in steel.

The DW235G's keyed 1/2-inch chuck grips the bit securely to prevent slippage, and metal gear housing provides added durability.

Built with Comfortable, Accurate Handling in Mind
Comfortable handling goes a long way toward ensuring accurate results. The DW235G is built with an ergonomic grip, and its two-finger rubber trigger makes power control easy. A 360-degree side handle gives you hand-position options for improved user comfort and better overall command of the drill. And it weighs an easy-to-manage 4.9 pounds, decreasing user fatigue after extended use.

The DWD235G 1/2-inch VSR Drill comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

What's in the Box

This is a great drill, but know what you're getting: This model has a big motor yet only spins up to 850 rpm (which is 1/3 the speed of a "normal" drill). It can power-through most anything and is perfect for spade bits, auger bits, and hole saws. For all your other drilling needs, a light duty model is what you want. Bottom line: this is a great tool at a reasonable price.

The 360 degree side handle on this drill is so convenient. Most powerful drills are ackward in hard to reach places. The balance and control this drill has is excellent. A good buy.

This review is from: DEWALT DW235G 7.8amp 1/2-Inch VSR Drill (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a great tool for the price . One of my guys bought one. It drills pretty well in any material. Except masonry. It's not so fast that you burn your bits in steel. The torque is quite impressive . More than my Milwaukee Magnum. You could easily hurt yourself with this bad boy. But that means you can use some pretty large bits and hole saws with it. Some times when all your batteries are dead (if you forget to charge them) you need a corded drill just to remember how nice the cordless one are.
