Description

Authorized Dealer Badge DEWALT logout

The DEWALT DW235G is an 8.5-amp corded electric 1/2-inch variable speed reversible (VSR) drill engineered to provide sustained high torque for structural wood boring and heavy metal fabrication. This industrial drilling tool features helical-cut, heat-treated steel gears enclosed in a rugged metal gear housing to ensure uniform power transmission under peak structural loads. Outfitted with a 360-degree adjustable side handle, a heavy-duty keyed chuck, and an ergonomic two-finger trigger operating from 0 to 1,000 RPM, this corded system resolves power drop constraints and high-vibration bit slippage during high-volume contracting operations.

Best Used For:

  • Structural Steel Boring: Twist-drilling or hole-sawing structural steel beams, iron frames, and heavy sheet metal assemblies cleanly without power delivery drops.
  • Thick Timber Framing: Fastening structural lag bolts and boring large-diameter holes with spade or auger bits during structural wood framing passes.
  • Electrical and Plumbing Rough-Ins: Penetrating multi-layer wooden studs, joists, and secondary masonry obstacles to rout conduits and main supply lines.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Industrial Gear Architecture: Forged with helical-cut, heat-treated steel gears to ensure smooth energy transfer and high resistance to wear under intense torsional loads.
  • Reinforced Metal Gear Casing: Structural metal transmission enclosure dissipates heat efficiently while safeguarding critical internal gears from impact damage.
  • Anti-Slippage Keyed Chuck: Industrial 1/2-inch keyed retention assembly guarantees a positive mechanical lock, preventing drill bit spinning during high-resistance boring operations.
  • 360-Degree Auxiliary Handle: Multi-position adjustable side handle provides enhanced operational stability and leverage to safely control high reactionary torque.
  • Variable Speed VSR Trigger: Sensitive two-finger trigger permits fine-tuned output regulation from 0 to 1,000 RPM for precise bit path initialization.

What's Included

  • (1) DW235G 1/2-Inch Corded Electric Variable Speed Drill
