Customer Review: Can you say "Hella torque" ?
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe the torque on this thing! I'm not sure if an extra handle is available for this, but if it is, get it. The single sleeve keyless chuck takes away any disadvantages of a keyless chuck. It's got a spindle lock so you can use your whole hand to wrench on the chuck to make sure it's tight. In addition, it's geared low so it gets really tight. The rear grip is figured just right to fit your hand "carpenter's style" That is, squeeze the trigger with your ring and pinky finger while putting the pushing force from behind with your palm and first two fingers. The yellow color makes it hard to lose or leave behind. If you're getting a drill for woodworking, you might want more speed instead of this much torque. If it's going to be used all around, (metal included) either this or a 1/2" Milwaukee is the one to get.
Update: Feb 23, 2008
I've sold this on ebay a couple years ago. Most of what I do with a drill is woodworking. For woodworking, you need a drill with higher RPM rather than the massive torque of this drill. Chances are that if you need this kind of torque, you also need a 1/2" chuck. The problem is most 1/2" drills don't have such a nice keyless chuck as this little beauty. I miss it occasionally, but only occasionally. Still a great product if you need the torque but will never need a 1/2" chuck. (such as drilling in metal) If I were to do it again, I'd probably get a 1/2" hammer drill to compliment my cordless drill and milwaukee 2500 RPM Magnum Holeshooter. This way, I have the other drills for wood, and the new one for masonry and metal work.
Description of DEWALT DW222 3/8-Inch 0-1200 rpm VSR Drill w/Keyless Chuck 6.7 amp
Cordless technology is great, but nothing rivals the power and performance of a solid, straightforward corded drill like this one. First thing you?ll notice when you pick it up is how light it is, especially in comparison to cordless versions and their clunky batteries. The trigger is wide enough to fit two fingers comfortably, and the rubber handle grip offers the ultimate in control and ergonomics. The single-sleeve chuck has a spindle lock so you can zip your bits in and out in a flash, but keep in mind it?s a 3/8-inch chuck, not a half-inch. The variable speed runs from 0 to 1,500 rpm drawing 6.7 amps, enough to put a 2-1/8-inch hole saw into oak. We?ve never seen a DeWalt tool built that wasn?t quality, and this one?s no exception. There?s no maintenance to do because the bearings are self-lubricating, and when the brushes finally do wear out, the tool automatically stops to prevent damage to the motor. You simply can?t go wrong choosing this drill.--Kris Jensen-Van HesteDEWALT's 3/8-Inch VSR Drill is a heavy-duty corded drill that features a single-sleeve keyless chuck with spindle lock for quick and easy bit removal/insertion. This lightweight drill weighs only 3.3 pounds and has an ergonomically shaped handle with anti-slip grip. The large, two-finger variable speed trigger control makes it easy to choose the best speed for the job and offers speeds of up to 1200 RPM.
