Customer Reviews for DEWALT 7.8 Amp Corded 1/2 in. Variable Speed Reversing Drill

Excellent drill - great value.

Great dril

The drill performs very well. Plenty of torque to handle whatever task that I have when I do my woodworking projects. The chuck key has a tendency to slip a little when trying to tighten the drill bits. Bit of a knuckle banger. Therefore the four stars rather than five.

The drill works well but i use it for smaller jobs

You can't beat the old corded tools! Battery operated tools suck. Everybody over there at Home Depot stay safe I'm have a great week

Has more power and torque than our battery operated drills. Great for the tough jobs.

I bought this drill based on the claim that it was made in the USA. The box says made in Mexico and also claims accessories can be from China

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this drill years ago and still chugging along. Feels like I’ll own this for a while.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] very powerful corded - quite heavy - for two hands operation. good chuck (with a key!)

I actually use this drill to aerate wort for home brewing. The attachment that I bought did not fit into my other drill. It works great. I’m happy and so is my home brew.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this drill primarily to bore holes in 6-9" dia. black locust poles for the hop yard. With a new drill bit, this beast easily went through this tough wood without any drag or bogging down. Best part is I can now use the drill to power my grain mill for the brewery!

Bought this for my husband after he was annoyed with his old drill that did not reverse. His battery operated one was fine, but occasionally when he wanted to use it he would have to charge the battery before he could use it.

This drill has a lot of power and got the job done quick

Good tool

Great drill - nice balance and power, just finished drilling >150 1/2 inch dowel pin holes in oak and cherry with ease. Happy!

The online store is misleading. In the online store the tool is label as MADE IN USA, but when I received it, the tool was made In Mexico. Frustrated. Home Depot needs to be more honest.

very good

Worked great to install 10" lag screws in landscape timbers.

For the money I expected a little bit stronger drill, considering I purchased one that was powered by with an electrical cord. I purchased the first one, and the drill was barely out of the box when it started to smoke. I returned it and they gave me a new one. I think you could probably get a drill like this quality, at a much cheaper price.

Very smooth to operate,but at the same time very powerful,especially when drilling through some thick steel,made the job a whole lot faster and easier.It was definitely a great investment at an awesome price.

This drill is my go to for long auger bits, aggressive self feed bits, large hole saws and drilling heavy gauge steel. This is not one of those bargain center throw aways this is an actual tool that you can depend on to work year after year

This is a great drill and I received it quickly

Excellent everything great job thanks

I'm installing a new whole house humidifier on my furnace and I bought this drill so that I can drill two 3/4" holes in my furnace ducts. Although I've never tried to drill holes this large thru metal before, I was surprised how easy it was for me to do so with this drill and the handle was helpful with the large drill bit that I used! I'm certain that my new drill will be a valuable addition to my tool kit!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 2 years ago and am quite pleased with performance

Excellent tool. Drills through heavy gauged metal like a hot knife through butter.
