Recommendations for Corded Drill

Lots of selections, out there, and I haven't shopped for a corded drill for 20+ years.

One with no chuck key is preferable, 1/2" chuck capacity, under $100, but willing to pay $150 for a good reliable drill.

Bought a keyed B&D at a garage sale, looked newish, but the trigger often sticks, frustrating to work with! Looking for something more dependable, with no systemic mis/malfunctions, as with this B&D, to contend with.

Thanks.

The corded Makita half inch is not a bad drill either. At least the
one you could buy 5 or so years ago.

I got a model like the 1/2" model in hammer drill and it is great to
have. Large enough chuck to handle what ever I put in it.

I have a full size hammer drill but needed a corded drill - opted for
a hammer (optional use) drill for use on wood or cement...

I've had a Makita HP1501 for about ten years now. Been real happy with it.

I don't think it's made any more, but the HP1641 looks similar.

I'm wondering what tasks you have in mind. I've got a 1/2" Makita
hammer-drill that fits your requirements. It's a nice solid tool
although an obsolete model by now, I'm sure. Perfectly capable of
injuring your wrist with the right bit too.

But even though the "hammer" feature can be disengaged, I seldom use
that drill for anything but drilling into the masonry walls of my
house. It's good for installing locks too (with hole saws) and making
holes for conduit (with a 3/4" Greenlee "Nail-eater" bit). In short,
jobs that need a more powerful drill. But for most other things I grab
a lighter one. They're just less fatiguing to work with, and I don't
need anything bigger to drill (most) holes in wood.

And there are black and decker service depots spread across north
america where you can purchace the PROPER switch for the drill. What
ever you do DO NOT McGuiver a different switch into the drill. It's a

There good work horses mine is at least 20 years old. Milwaulkie was
pretty much what you found in every electrical supply house. It even
has a keyless chuck the old hammer type. Still works as good as ever.

Nonsense. A replacement switch is a replacement switch...

I bought this one:

I've been pretty happy with it, but in retrospect, I'd trade the
hammerdrill functionality, which I very rarely use, for screwdriving
capability instead.

I bought the DeWalt DWD-210-G. If I'd have known what I was doing at
the time, I would have bought an impact-driver instead.
My understanding and my impact driver came later.

Don't waste your time with anything less than Milwaukee, if you want
quality.

FWIW, My current corded drill is a 20+ year old DeWalt, I do not use
it much anynore, in earlier years I screwed down all the decking and
bracing to a deck like walkway, probably 200' x 3' with the DeWalt and
used it with my Kreg PH Jig.

Then eventually came the Makita drill and impact that pretty much
replaced the corded drill.

Got the Festool T15 18 months ago and have not used the impact in
probably 18 months. The Festool T15 is surprisingly way much stronger
than the 12 volt Makita and performs the same jobs that the impact did.

Anyway if I were to replace the DeWalt it would be with the Milwaukee.
Swingman has one that I have used and that thing is unstoppable, so to
speak.
