DeWalt Heavy-Duty 1/2-Inch (13mm) VSR Drill (0-850 rpm) Kit DW236K

Date Published: 6/9/06

Designed for homeowners and pros who need a heavy-duty drill and for users who demand the convenience of a keyless chuck, the DeWalt 1/2-inch corded drill DW236K has a metal single-sleeve keyless chuck and the requisite spindle lock conveniently positioned at the side of the tool.

In addition, the chuck has carbide jaws and ratcheting to ensure good bit retention. The unit comes with an auxiliary side handle that can be positioned anywhere in its 360 degrees of travel. The handle will help prevent tool-kick when the bit jams; note that this unit is not equipped with DeWalt's anti-lock feature (see DeWalt's heavy-duty drill DW239 for that.) This unit comes with a good 3-year limited warranty, a 1-year free service contract, and a heavy-duty kit box.

The DeWalt DW236K is a compact, comfortable-to-use tool capable of handling tough tasks, such as boring holes with spade bits in hardwood, boring large diameter holes with hole saws, and boring holes in masonry and steel.
