Overview

At 86.5 pounds, the Bucktool DP12VL is far too heavy to be a handheld drill. It runs on 120 volt corded power at 6.2 amps, reaching up to 3200 RPM.

A handheld drill typically weighs a few pounds, so at 86.5 pounds the DP12VL is built to sit on a bench or floor stand rather than be held in one hand. The 6.2 amp, 120 volt motor and 3200 RPM top speed point to a general purpose drilling tool rather than a specialty low-speed unit.

Who it's for

What to check first

Too heavy to carry between job sites
Needs dedicated bench or floor space

Performance notes

The 6.2 amp motor reaches 3200 RPM on 120 volt corded power, giving consistent speed since it does not rely on battery charge, though the 86.5 pound weight means it stays fixed in one spot rather than moving between jobs.
