I'm sorry; I cannot give you an answer. It was a gift and the receiver has moved to another location so i cannot contact him to relay your question. NBB

As an middle aged woman I have no problems handling this tool tru any material.

I've used it to drill screws into solid cabinets as well as drilling holes for handles, the drill did a very good job.

I don't think you'd have a problem. Basswood is fairly soft. I've drilled through pine and particle board without problems. It's a pretty decent little drill and I've been happy with it, it's done everything I've needed it for. Be sure the batteries are fresh.

it would work to drill holes but just depends on what you are drilling into, it turns pretty slow so it would take a while to drill a hole. It does not come with drill bits just screw tips. I would say if you are trying to drill holes larger than 1/4" then no or if you want to drill a number of holes then no.

In wood, impact drivers are used to drive screws not drill holes. Masonry bits hammer-drill driven.

I takes practices, but used the drill in reverse an it wont jump around as much. Use light pressure till you get it going. If it is something that you don't wont any scratches on, put a thin pace of wood on top an clamp it down, and cut thru it first. You can put it back in forward once you get it going.

Very good for drilling in wood. Plenty of power (at lower speed setting), and fast recharging. I have no experience yet using it to drill into concrete, but I wouldn't work it that hard for very long at a time.

I think the tool would probably be underpowered. It's better with softer woods.

For sure its a very powerful drill but it all depends on the "BIT" being used. Great drill.

All I can say is that I do not use this for drilling, I only use it as a screw driver. I would contact DeWalt and ask them any questions you may have such as if it is possible to use it for that purpose.

First off I have a small woodworking shop so size does matter . I have drilled all kind of woods with no problem . Just make sure you adjust the belts for the right job .All and all very happy . The drill did show up with a broken handle , called Rikon and had a new one in two days no questions asked .

It can drill any material a corded version of a medium duty could. Very strong drill for the standard type that it is. Good on wood, metals, plastics. I haven't found a drill yet that is great for stainless steel, that is more in the technique you use. I would not recommend this for mixing heavy thick materials such as large batches of grout, drywall mud, etc. You need a heavy duty type for mixing those items or you will burn most drills up. I also would not recommend for drilling concrete, it could probably do it but best to use a hammer drill. This is a great unit for what it is, just keep in mind they make hammer drills, high torque drills, impact drills, etc. for a reason...each has a purpose and application.

It doesn't state on the packaging what materials it can drill through. I haven't tried it on anything but wood. But it does run fast and you have 5 different size bits with it. It's possible because of it's speed it could drill through tile or glass. It's one of those things you'd have to try it on an old piece of glass and see what happens. These bits are easily replaceable if it should break.

No, it cuts wood well though. You have to have good strngth do use it though, I had to get help, too hard to squeeze.

It throws out both wood chips and sawdust, but, more of the chips. It also depends on the hardness and grain of the wood. I find this tool can be very dangerous on hard woods as it can skip off the work piece if you are not paying attention to the grain. It is a wonderful tool if used correctly.

It works great with wood. It is deeper than it looks. We are very satisfied.

Just like a regular drill. A trigger button to run it and a little switch on the bottom to switch directions.

You could use this to drill fine holes in plywood, the chuck clamps down to pretty much nothing, so in theory any drill but could be used. This is a rotary tool though, not a drill, so the torque is much lower (drills have a multi-stage gearbox to get high torque). Therefore you need to apply much more modest pressure to the bit when drilling and let the speed of the tool do the work.
