Overview
The Hougen 0904101 is a heavy-duty drill weighing 34.9 pounds, built around a 115 volt, 6 amp motor turning at 450 RPM. The weight and low speed point to an industrial metalworking drill rather than a handheld unit.
At just under 35 pounds and running at a fixed 450 RPM, this reads as a stationary or magnetic-base drill meant for metal fabrication rather than a portable handheld model. The listing's power source field is inconsistent with the given voltage and amperage, so it has been left out here rather than repeated as stated.
- 450 RPM fixed speed
- 115 volt, 6 amp electrical rating
- Weighs 34.9 pounds
- Dimensions 11.62 in L x 7.75 in W x 18 in H
Who it's for
Metalworkers and fabricators needing a heavy, low-speed drill for controlled hole-making in metal will find the weight and RPM consistent with that use. Anyone wanting a light handheld drill for wood or general DIY work should look elsewhere given the 34.9 pound weight.
Pros and cons
- Low 450 RPM suited to controlled metal drilling
- Substantial build weight of 34.9 pounds for stability
- Listed power source conflicts with the given voltage and amperage
- Too heavy for handheld or portable use
- No bit or chuck capacity listed
Performance notes
A 450 RPM top speed is low compared to general-purpose drills, which typically points to a tool designed for controlled cutting through metal with larger bits rather than fast general drilling. The 115 volt, 6 amp electrical rating and 34.9 pound weight both support a stationary or base-mounted design rather than a handheld one.
