Q: Is this drill suitable for continuous use on tough materials like metal or masonry?
A: Yes. With its 8-Amp motor and ball bearing construction, the DWD115K handles consistent drilling in steel (up to 3/8") and wood. For masonry, you’ll need the correct bits and likely a hammer drill, since this is not designed for hammer mode.
Q: Why use a keyless chuck, and what does ratcheting mean?
A: A keyless chuck allows quick bit changes without tools. The ratcheting mechanism lets you tighten the chuck more securely by forcing teeth to lock, improving bit grip especially under load. In this drill, the all-metal ratcheting keyless chuck enhances retention and makes it more jobsite reliable.
Q: What makes the mid-handle design advantageous?
A: The mid-handle grip moves the balance point closer to the hand, reducing torque reaction and fatigue in prolonged tasks. The soft grip adds comfort, and the layout helps with better control especially when drilling overhead or in awkward positions.
