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.

What's in the Box

Customers are mixed about the torque of the tool. Some mention that it has plenty of torque, while others say that it spun uncontrollably and caused a large bruise. The chuck is eccentric and wobbles, so the hole you get is bigger.

Durable and powerful drill
This is the third of these I've bought. I use this for a 4" hole saw in my craft business. It's really the only drill that I've found that can do the job. It does get hot when I use it a lot, so I have a couple of others I can switch off with. I did manage to over heat one to the point where it was smoking. It's been retired, but earned it.
