A: Yes, the handle can be removed or rotated to different angles. It is still a 1/2" corded variable speed drill, so it isn't tiny and it isn't "light-weight." It is still the best, well-build corded 1/2" drill I've ever owned. I bought it for the power it gives me, but it works so well that if I need to use a drill a lot, I'll break it out instead of the cordless drills I have.
A: Yes
A: Hello Kimba Thank you for your contact. We apologize for any trouble or inconvenience in finding information. The drill in metal, wood, or masonry. You would need to check the instruction to make sure that you are using the proper bit for the job. Best Regards Sherri C DEWALT
A: I doubt it I used it twice and it broke Drill is junk
A: Hello grillmantom Thank you for your contact. We apologize for any trouble or inconvenience in finding information. There are a lot of factors including job and type of drilling needed. Use sharp drill bits only. For wood, use the low speed setting and twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. For metal, use the low speed setting and steel twist drill bits or hole saws. For masonry, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling. Use low speed for bits greater than 3/8" (10 mm). If you have additional questions, please reach out to DEWALT support directly. Best Regards Sherri C DEWALT

A: I've looked at my drill and honestly wouldn't know how to determine that but here's what I would say for sure: I've actually driven over mine (more than once) and it's just like new. So - perhaps if it is strength you're looking for, then this is definitely a good choice. I hope this helps.
A: Sure - but just be careful. Home Depot sells augers as well. The difference in this case is that a real auger will have 2 handles which is easier to control than a drill with 1 handle, but it will work nevertheless.
A: Yes. Indeed. Getting it wet might short out the motor. Clean you corded drill and it will last longer. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck out metal dust and sawdust. Powerful moist air compressor air might damage or loosen connections. I have repaired a few garage sale "dead drills" that were internally rusted used and the brush assembly wire's spade connectors had popped off. I have used much smaller drills for a weed twister and lawn auger with no problems.
A: Yes. Fully Read the instruction manual before use. To start drill, depress trigger switch; to stop the drill, release trigger. To lock trigger in the on position for continuous operation, depress trigger and push up locking button (B), then gently release the trigger. To release the locking mechanism, depress the trigger fully, then release it. Before using the tool each time, be sure that the locking button release mechanism is working freely. Do not lock the switch on when drilling by hand so that you can instantly release the trigger switch if the bit binds in the hole. The locking button is for use only when the drill is mounted in a drill press stand or otherwise held stationary. Be sure to release the locking button before disconnecting the plug from the power supply. Be sure to release the locking button before disconnecting the plug from the power supply. Failure to do so will cause the tool to start immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage or injury could result.
A: No trigger lock, but otherwise great replacement for my 40 year old drill.
A: This question has been answered before. The answer is no. It has too much torque and would be dangerous should a person hit a knot, nail or other unexpected obstacle.
