Yes. It has a two speed gear box and a variable speed trigger for speeds of 0-400 and 0-1600 rpm.

No it doesn't. When it gets about an inch from the counter sink the bit will accelerate. So if you don't want a counter sink start bumping the trigger.

It does not have a multiple speed gearbox, but it does have a variable speed trigger.

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.

Yes there is some variation. If you initially press lightly, it goes somewhat slower than if you press the trigger all the way in. This is not a serious drill but works great for quick jobs. We really like it. It replaced a black and decker my son took to college and we dont miss it one bit.

Not really, the variable speed isn't linear when pushing the trigger. It starts slow then suddenly takes off full speed. This will drive the sheet rock screws in too deep.

yes it does. But i would never buy this tool without the 3 speed. it, with the variable speed trigger is awesome. Love it to pieces.

It is variable speed with the trigger and also has the switch to engage a lower speed for precise slow speed control in position 1 and higher speed in position 2. I like the drill a lot. I only wish it was a hammer drill.

Yes this is a variable-speed drill. I think some people wished there were more control at low speeds, but it works as other variable speed drills in my experience.

It is variable speed with 2 gears. It is a really nice and strong drill for home projects.

no, there is no controllable variable speed. however you can lightly squeeze the trigger switch to gain uncontrollable variable speed

no the impact is not variable speeds like the hammer drill, but if you depress the trigger just a little it will go slower, the harder you squeeze it the faster it goes. hope this helps

No, and I don't think you would want to do that any way. This is a powerful drill and if it catches you want to be able to let up on that trigger so it does not twist your arm. This drill is variable speed but that does not mean it will run slow. I would guess it runs between 60% and 100% speed. A lot of variable speeds allow you to go down to a point where it is barely rotating. This one does not. If you had it in a locked position and it caught on something it would really be a hazzard.

It sure does. It operates as if it had continuously variable speed like the AC drill that you plug into a wall socket. However, what the trigger is actually doing, I think, is to first switch just one cell of the 3 cell battery to connect with the motor, then two cells kick in as you pull the trigger further, than finally, all three cells kick in, or something like that. Actually it seems to switch among more than 3 speeds, though, so that it feels virtually continuously variable in speed. It seems considerably more variable and smoothly continuous than rechargeable Black and Decker drills did years ago when I bought the cheap ones. It sure does.

Yes, but it is hardly discernible. It is probably not more than half a second or so, and is really probably just because the motor speed reacts to how fast and hard you pull the trigger. The hammer drill is the best drill I have ever used. I love mine.

It has low speed high torque and high speed low torque for the gear box. The amount of pressure you apply to the trigger would give you a variable speed in either gear.

It does have a really touchy trigger but can start out pretty slow. It starts a lot slower than my similar Dewalt. You just have to be careful because there is a fine line between being just right & making a mess... (btw I've had this drill over 2 years now & use it hard everyday. Not 1 problem. )Good luck
