Our verdict

The size, low RPM and amperage point to a serious metalworking drill, though buyers should confirm the power source detail directly given the conflicting listing data.

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

Pros
  • Low 450 RPM suited to controlled metal drilling
  • Substantial build weight of 34.9 pounds for stability
Cons
  • 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.
