I need a drill to help me put together an ikea dresser. Is this powerful enough?

Yes it'll get the job done with more to spare.Read the instruction manual on using the torque setting for drilling and screwing.
1096901
This drill should have adequate torque/power to install the fasteners for a piece of furniture. It has an adjustable clutch feature so that you can avoid over-tightening the fasteners; setting it at the middle value of 5 should give you enough torque before it begins to slip. If you need more torque, just twist the collar to a higher setting. The drill comes with a 2-ended screwdriver bit (stored at the base of the handle) that has #2 Philips and regular slot blade points. If your fasteners need a hex wrench, then you will need to buy the appropriate size hex driver bit.

Yes. We used it to put together an Ikea dresser and night stand. worked like a charm!

Most likely you will not be able to build a deck or wall with it. But it is perfect for light duties where there is a lot of screws and where impact driver would be overkill and manual screwdriver would kill your wrist. I was using it recently for repair of a wall switches. It wouldn't take out one of the screws holding electrical wire - the others it did manage. Good thing about this screwdriver is that it has locked spindle. In my case I just loosen the screw manually with DeWalt screwdriver (without pressing the switch) - then used it regular way. I also have put together a few Ikea furniture - it was great help. Also have drilled small holes in drywall and studs for shelves fasteners. It excels in situations where you have long screws which would take forever with manual screwdriver - like, for example, the screws holding a wall switch to the electrical box. Don't expect it to be a tool good for everything. You will still need impact driver when you will need more torque and drill for serious drilling. The gyroscoping action is something to get used to, sometimes it is annoying. But I think it is more smooth in action then variable speed trigger switch. I don't regret buying this screwdriver, use it all time - my only wish is it was cheaper (or at least DeWalt would add to the kit the DCL023 flashlight)

Yes, it's a great drill. Check the prices at the big box hardware stores. You will come back and order this one!

I Would say no. I bought this drill for wood and heavy kydex but i would say it dosent have enough power to drill half inch steel.

I wouldn't recommend it for any reason (see my review,) but on a good day you should be able to produce a 1 inch hole into a particle board using this driver (drill.) It has decent torque. The problem is that it is slow and unsteady. Slow is ok for driving screws, but makes it hard to drill. Unsteady is not good for anything. (Perhaps I got a bad one? Construction overall is pretty unreliable anyway. If you are considering this one due to the low cost, I would recommend using the budget for a used corded electric drill that will actually work right for all similar jobs and last a decade.)

Yes. Be warned if you have to put this together you will regrets purchasing it. Very difficult and it won't go together easily. I would advise get IKEA.

Yes this would cut a hole in your hardwood. Keep the drill speed slow and steady.

Yes. I have not used the drill much but it seems to be pretty powerful. Hope this helps.

Yes, it has more than enough power, but, it would be slow. You would be better off with a hammer drill.
1570532
Yes, This is a hammer drill that is excellent for drilling into masonry. Make sure you have a good bit and you should be fine.

As long as everything is bolted down tightly and the drill is secure, it should be alright. We use it for hardwoods. There is no wobbling for us. It is a great product.

Yes but the speed is probably way to high and when you lower it you lose a lot of torque so it's far from ideal. A drill capable of 2-4000 rpm would be better.

This drill comes with a handle that makes mixing easier. It has a lot of power for mixing and would work fine for that. I personally use this one for better projects and use an old beat up milwaukee for mixing.

No. Dont listen to these other people. This drill is only good for wood and metal. Thats what the 20v means. For plastic you need at least a 40v drill. Its a much tougher material to drill in.

Yes. I am very impressed with this drill. Very powerful, and I drilled brick and cinder blocks with no problems. I hope this helps you. Ray

Should work fine for that, doesn't have the high RPM's as a Dremel does but has plenty of torque and about as much speed as any household drill does,The stand and feed lever should work better then the dremel did. nice working drill for what it costs for sure.

No, this is a marginal tool at best. Look for a core bit that is made to drill stone at a stone tool supply house
