Overview

The DEWALT DWD520K is a drill rated at 120 volts and 10 amps, with a top speed of 3500 RPM, weighing 1.66 kilograms, about 3.7 pounds.

The voltage and amperage figures point to a corded electric drill rather than a battery or manual tool, despite how the power source field is labeled in the source data. At 3500 RPM it runs faster than many heavy duty drills, suiting drilling in wood or light metal over mixing or masonry work that calls for lower, higher torque speeds.

Who it's for

Fits buyers who want a corded drill with a high top speed for wood or light material drilling. Less suited to jobs needing low speed, high torque work like mixing or masonry, or to anyone who specifically wants a cordless tool.

Pros and cons

Pros

High 3500 RPM top speed

Cons

Corded design limits mobility versus a cordless drill
Not suited to low speed, high torque tasks like mixing

Performance notes

At 10 amps the motor draws enough for sustained corded use, and 3500 RPM is on the faster end for a drill of this class, favoring quick hole drilling in wood and light materials over slow, high torque tasks. Being corded, run time is not limited by a battery.
