With its powerful 7.8 amp motor, The DEWALT 1/2-Inch VSR Drill is capable of delivering speeds of 0 to 850 rpm. This translates to quick, versatile drilling and driving. At the heart of the DW235G's long-lasting performance is a set of heat-treated, helical-cut steel gears that provide extended tool life and exceptional durability.
Designed for Versatility and Durability
As versatile as it is powerful, the DW235G functions well for both steel and wood applications. When working with a spade bit in wood, the drill offers a 1-1/2-inch capacity, and with an auger bit in wood, it can handle a 1-1/8-inch bit. The drill can handle a 2-1/8-inch self-feed bit and a 3-1/2-inch hole saw in wood. It can also handle a 1/2-inch twist bit or a 2-inch hole saw in steel.
The DW235G's keyed 1/2-inch chuck grips the bit securely to prevent slippage, and metal gear housing provides added durability.
Built with Comfortable, Accurate Handling in Mind
Comfortable handling goes a long way toward ensuring accurate results. The DW235G is built with an ergonomic grip, and its two-finger rubber trigger makes power control easy. A 360-degree 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 DWD235G 1/2-inch VSR 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.

At some point, Dewalt had reduced the size of the power drill chuck key, so my old chuck key did not fit into the new chuck key hole making me think I had bought a knock-off.
Found same DW235G drill for sale at Ace Hardware, plus at Home Depot, they both also had the reduced chuck key size confirming that it all was good with the power drill I had bought.
The drill came in great condition and delivered much earlier than the posted estimate .
Am very satisfied with the product I ordered and company I ordered it from.
Note:
(After searching many YouTube videos, I have since learned to Be very careful when buying power tools online, their are fakes / knockoffs out there, I got a good authentic product from a good company. But next time I'll be buying any power tools straight from the manufacturer or from established box stores. The worrying from online shopping for lower cost power tools just isnt worth it. )
4-1/2" hole saw through a double layer of 5/8" plywood. Trust me, use the auxillary handle and hold on tight this brute has got the power I was looking for. The VSR trigger provides very good speed control and the overall construction of the drill is impressive. I got exactly the drill I wanted and more quality than I anticipated for the price. I would have given it 5 stars except for the fact that the chuck key does not engage the chuck as positively as I would like but, with enough pressure you can tighten the chuck as tight as required. The chuck itself is high quality.

Excellent all around usage! If you look at the dewalt website the specs for this drill are modest. It is capable of larger holes than listed. Highly recommend this drill to anyone commercial or residential!
Only cons would be the lack of the cool looking black hand grip and the chuck key holder as it's a piece of rubber that is a bit flimsy. As far as the handgrip goes it is barely a con as I personally want the drill to slip out of my hand if it bites drilling metal... else I would risk wrist injury! Lastly, the balance seems a bit off when applying pressure for screwing... if you don't hold the drill quite high on the handle the drill tends to push the screw over. This however is typical with one handed use of a drill designed for two hands and it's mold type. A mid-trigger handled drill would be more balanced but sacrifices reach IMO.
