Overview
A corded drill, model MX-98, powered by 110 volts and drawing 13 amps, spinning at 1100 RPM. At 12.13 pounds it is built more like a heavy mixing or hole-boring drill than a lightweight household drill.
The 13 amp draw and 1100 RPM speed point to a low-speed, high-torque tool suited to mixing paint, mortar, or thinset, or driving large bits, rather than fast general drilling. Corded operation means constant power without battery limits, but also a cord to manage on site. The 12+ pound weight reflects a motor built for torque rather than portability.

Who it's for
Tradespeople and DIYers who need sustained torque for mixing or heavy boring work are the fit. A smaller cordless drill would serve better for light household drilling, where this tool's weight and low RPM work against it.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 13 amp motor for high torque
- Corded for consistent power
- Built for heavy mixing or boring tasks
- Heavy at over 12 pounds
- Low 1100 RPM, not for fast drilling
- Corded limits mobility
Performance notes
At 13 amps and 110 volts, the motor draws strong, consistent corded power, while the 1100 RPM top speed favors torque over fast spinning, typical of mixing or boring tools. The 12.13 pound body adds stability under load but takes more effort to hold overhead or one-handed.
