Is the speed variable within each selected transmission speed range depending on how much the user pulls the trigger?

Yes, and it works with great sensitivity. You can have it just barely turning and accelerate it smoothly up to full speed.

Yes, most definitely variable speed. Not a 100% sure on the voltage question, but I think so- the tech specs might clear that one up.

It's variable speed, based upon how hard you pull the trigger. It's a professional grade too. Highly recommend it.

Yes, the speed is variable based on the amount that you squeeze the trigger. It can be used as a screw driver you just need to put in a screw head (it comes with one). The best thing to do is use the torque adjustment when using it as a screwdriver so you don't over tighten and/or strip your screws.

It is variable speed. I don't know how I would measure whether it goes to or beyond the specified speeds.

It has variable speed by use of the trigger, but there is no torque adjustment that I know of. Tire stores have "torque sticks" that are " drive extensions that are color coded for different torque values = 65 ft/lb Green , 75 ft/lb Black, 80 ft/lb Yellow, 90 ft/lb Red, 100 ft/lb Blue, 110 ft/lb Orange, 120 ft/lb Grey, 130 ft/lb Maroon, 140 ft/lb White, 150 ft/lb Light Blue. These extensions limit the torque.

Variable. It does however have a low and a high switch. The low I think gets you 0-500 rpm and the high is 0-1300. But yes you can have it spin as low as you want by just barely pulling the trigger

It's one speed, not variable. Don't know exact speed it seems similar to a belt sander range. BTW I love this machine. Its very precise and works perfectly.

Greetings: I will give you a qualified yes on the variable speeds. THe motor is a standard brushed DC motor, so load and drive voltage affect speed. You can vary the speed by either varying the drive voltage, or, as in current automobiles, with a pulse-width modulated source. Hope this helps! Terry S.

The speed is control by a two position switch and is also controlled by how much the trigger is depressed.

It is full variable speed in each of the two speed levels. The switch on top of the unit just allows you to pick a slower or faster range of speeds.

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.

Not really...though you can move the trigger which lessens the power but I wouldn't call it variable.

Yes, it is variable. You should buy a PMW controler to vary the speed. But be careful if you need to reverse the motor with a polarity reversing toggle switch. Put the motor leads on the toggle switch, not the power leads.

It is a variable speed dial that you can adjust from 0 - 10. Nothing to hold, just select the speed that you need like 2 or 5 or 7, etc..it will hold the speed. Thank you

Yes, I have tried each of the six preset speeds. The speeds responded to the various trigger pressure from very slow to the max of the preset smoothly.
