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.
- 120V corded
- 6.2 amps
- 3200 RPM
- 86.5 lb stationary build
Who it's for
Fits buyers with bench or shop space who need a stationary corded drilling setup at 120 volts. Not a fit for anyone expecting a portable handheld drill at this weight.
Pros and cons
- 120 volt corded power avoids battery charging
- 3200 RPM top speed
- Stationary build adds stability during use
- 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.
