Overview
The DEWALT DW268 is a corded electric drill rated at 240 volts, spinning at 2500 RPM and weighing 4.3 pounds. Its 12 by 1 by 3 inch dimensions describe a slim, elongated tool body.
A 240 volt corded rating and 2500 RPM speed suggest a drill built for driving fasteners at speed rather than slow, high-torque boring. The 12 inch length against a 1 inch width is a notably slim profile, which points to a tool designed to reach into tighter working spaces than a bulkier pistol-grip drill. At 4.3 pounds it stays light enough for one-handed extended use.

- 2500 RPM speed
- 4.3 pound weight
- 12 x 1 x 3 inch slim body
Who it's for
Suits users who need a fast-spinning corded drill for driving work in tight spaces. Less suited to heavy masonry or large-bit boring, where a bulkier, higher-torque drill is the better fit.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Slim 1 inch body width for tight spaces
- 2500 RPM for fast driving work
- Light 4.3 pound weight
- 4.6 stars across 178 reviews
- 240 volt rating may need confirming against local outlets
- Chuck size and bit capacity are not listed
Performance notes
2500 RPM is a fast no-load speed that favors driving screws and small bits over slow, high-torque boring through dense material. The slim 1 inch body width should help it reach tighter spots than a standard pistol-grip drill housing.
