Overview
Corded and running on 120 volt AC power, the LD26 drill spins at 1100 RPM with a 9 amp motor. At 7.2 pounds it is built for sustained drilling rather than light home use.
A 1100 RPM top speed is low for a drill, which usually means more torque for boring larger holes rather than driving screws quickly. The corded 9 amp motor avoids battery limits on longer jobs, at the cost of needing a power outlet nearby.
- 120 volt AC corded electric
- 9 amp motor
- 1100 RPM speed
- 7.2 pound weight
Who it's for
Tradespeople or serious DIYers who need sustained torque for boring holes, such as through wood framing or masonry. Less suited to quick screw driving tasks that favor a lighter cordless driver.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 9 amp motor for sustained corded power
- Lower RPM suits torque-heavy boring work
- 7.2 pounds is heavier than typical cordless drills
- Requires a power outlet, no battery option
Performance notes
The 1100 RPM speed sits well below typical driver drills, which usually run in the 1500 to 2000 RPM range, so the LD26 trades speed for torque suited to boring. Being corded, output stays constant through long jobs without a battery running down, though the 7.2 pound weight adds fatigue over time compared to a lighter cordless model.
