DEWALT DWD210G 10-Amp 1/2-Inch Pistol-Grip Drill Review
|
 A heavy-duty 10 amp motor makes this pistol-grip drill ideal for large-scale jobsite drilling tasks. View larger. |
 The drill's speed of 1,200 rpm means you can take on a variety of masonry, metal, and wood projects. View larger. |
At the heart of this drill's performance is a patented DEWALT-built motor that generates 50 percent more power than a standard motor of the same size. It also provides increased overload protection for extended tool life.
Designed for Versatility and Durability
As versatile as it is powerful, the DWD210G functions well for both steel and wood applications. When working with a spade or auger bit in wood, it offers a 1-1/2-inch capacity, and it can handle a capacity of 2-9/16 inches when used with a self-feed unit. The drill can also handle a 1/2-inch twist bit when working with steel. When used with a hole saw, the drill offers a 3-5/8-inch capacity in wood and a 2-inch capacity in steel.
Its keyed 1/2-inch chuck grips the bit securely to prevent slippage, and a metal gear housing provides added durability.
Built with Comfortable, Accurate Handling in Mind
Comfortable handling goes a long way toward ensuring accurate results. The DWD210G is built with an ergonomic grip, and its two-finger rubber trigger makes power control easy. A locking, 360-degree, soft-grip 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 DWD210G 1/2-Inch VSR Pistol-Grip 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.

Milwaukee 2602-22 M18 18-Volt Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill/Driver Kit Review
| |||||||||||||||||||||
 Built with a Milwaukee 4-pole motor, the 2602-22 delivers 550 in-lbs of peak torque. View the entire diagram. |
 |
Ideal for a range of fastening applications, this drill/driver also features Milwaukee's Digital Power Management to prevent overload damage to the tool and battery. An all-metal gear case--the only one in its class--provides durability for heavy-duty jobs.
For optimal bit retention, the 2602-22 comes complete with an all-metal 1/2-inch single-sleeve ratcheting chuck, while its compact, ergonomic design helps reduce fatigue for all-day productivity. In fact, this portable driver/drill measures just 8.5 inches in length and weighs only 4.9 pounds, so it won't overtax your wrists and hands.
 Reliable, long-lasting LITHIUM-ION power is just one part of a full feature set. |
A convenient power gauge on each battery displays remaining runtime, and a second battery is included with the kit, so you never have to worry about running out of power in the middle of a task. Plus the M18 LITHIUM-ION battery charger is designed to recharge batteries in one hour or less.
Since lithium-ion batteries are significantly smaller and lighter than 18-volt NiCad batteries, they play an integral role in keeping Milwaukee's M18 tools ergonomic and comfortable to use. For added versatility, M18 tools also work with even lighter M18 Compact LITHIUM-ION Batteries (not included).
Launched in 2008, the M18 series from Milwaukee balances power and ergonomics. M18 tools pack the best-in-class, heavy-duty performance that you expect from Milwaukee into lighter, more compact bodies than those of traditional tools. This translates to improved versatility on the jobsite and reduced user fatigue at the end of the workday.
In 1924 Milwaukee Electric Tool introduced the Hole-Shooter, the first lightweight, portable, one-handed 1/4-inch capacity drill, and the company has been dedicated to producing innovative, heavy-duty electric power tools that meet the needs of professional users ever since.
Milwaukee's product line has grown to include more than 500 tools and over 3,500 accessories. Milwaukee uses state-of-the-art technologies and sophisticated manufacturing techniques to ensure that quality is built into each of its tools, resulting in durable and reliable professional products.
