Is this drill a Single-Speed, as the Amazon title suggests, or a Variable-Speed Reversible, as the model name (1191_VSR_K) suggests?

The term "single speed" means that it does not have a dual gearbox as the more expensive hammer drills do, but a single range of 0-3000 rpm and yes it is VSR

It has reverse switch. It is single speed which depends on how hard you press the button like any other drill.... maybe this might be considered as 'variable'.

It is a variable speed and reversible, I actually find that oscillating between the lower rpm and holding down for it to build (quickly) to its top rpm is more effective in penetrating concrete. Quite often this technique works better than just holding down and keeping at its peak rpm as less pressure is needed. And I don't like to over stress a bit or the motor.

My recommendation would be a variable power drill either corded or cordless that you can put a hose clamp on to vary the speed. They have a much greater range of variance without damage to the motor.

1/32,3/64,5/64,1/8not a great selection, but the drill is cheap enough to buy a good set of bits as well. Works fine, but no variable speed, just on or off. Hope that helped.

It has variable speed but bear in mind that the speed is controlled by the trigger. The closer you pull the trigger to the drill body, the faster the chuck will turn. However, If by "true", you mean is there a dial where you can set the exact speed ie. 300 rpm or 350 rpm then the answer is no. This feature is more likely found on rotary tools like Dremels, some drill presses and milling machines. I am not aware of any variable speed hand drills that have scales which would enable you to dial in exact speeds. If exact speed is a necessity, then you might want to research rotary tools, bench tools which have a dial that can be set or tools that have a digital display that tells you how fast the chuck is turning. Additionally, I don't know what materials you plan to drill. This drill's range is 0-550 rpm which may or may not be suitable for your intended purpose. I recommend that you study the numerous drill speed and feed guides available on the web to determine if this drill has the best speed range for your project or whether you need a drill with a higher rpm range. It may also be helpful to do a search of materials, material thicknesses, hole sizes, suggested bit lubricants and drill types to see what tradespeople and manufacturers recommended. You can easily ruin costly materials by drilling them at the wrong speed or quickly dull expensive drill bits by using the wrong bit for the material, exerting too much pressure on the bit or not using lubricant. Talk to people who have drilled the same or similar materials. Ask to see if they have any scrap that you can use for test purposes. There is no single drill suitable for all types of drilling. Br prepared to experiment before finally figuring out what works best for you.

This model has forward, reverse, high & low speeds. They are not variable speeds. Jeff & David gave the best info. Reggie

Yes it is variable speed. There is a dial on the tool that allows you to choose between 1-6, I believe. (l don't have it in front of me) If memory serves, I believe the dial is on the handle near the cord outlet of the tool.

I have problems with first speed. It is stopping to drill. It is light. Better buy a brushless drill.

Yes, it has reverse, and yes it is variable speed. I just picked mine up and verified it. I use it a lot since I'm in the middle of an addition on my house. I love it.

It is reversible. It is strong and I prefer a cord with the right extension cord verse a battery ya might forget to charge or the battery goes bad, I love that the handle will go on and come off with ease and speed. I highly recommend this drill. It is a great gift or investment.

I don't have this drill anymore, I only used it once and it was a while back so I don't recall if it has a speed lock or not sorry I know this doesn't help.

No - single speed only. My recommendation - consider the Bosch 12V system. Battery like is much better. I had problems with the Craftsman batteries. They quit taking a charge after only 6 months. Sears will replace but that's a hassle.

It is a single range, variable speed. Also has torque settings for screw driving.

Who doesn't know the answer to variable speed trigger? This drill/driver has variable speed in both low and high speed. I have owned all brands of drills and for it's size and battery life it is far the best drill I have owned. I am not lying I bet I have put in 10,000 screws with it.

No, its a single speed.....but works great. Runs on a battery that is easy to charge. Unit is easy to clean, and reassemble. I have other B & D tools which use the same battery, which is a plus.

With the proper bit, yes it can be a variable speed screwdriver. As many people use it for driving screws as drilling holes!!!

I don't own one, but I looked at this drill about two years ago. As I recall, it had all the bells and whistles, including variable speed and a reverse switch.(The drill was everything I wanted, but I didn't really need a new drill, so I didn't buy it.)
