DeWalt 700w Corded Drill Heavy Duty

When looking for a 700W corded drill from DeWalt, you are technically looking at the exact same physical machine class as the 650W model—specifically the DeWalt DWD024 (or DWD112 for rotary-only work).

DeWalt labels this exact high-performance motor setup as 701W in 240V regions (like the UK, Europe, and parts of Africa/Asia) and 700W or 7.0-Amp / 8.0-Amp in others.

Depending on whether you need a switchable Hammer Drill or a precision Rotary-Only workshop tool, DeWalt offers two distinct models at this 700W power level:

Option 1: The Hammer Drill Workhorse (DeWalt DWD024)

This is the most common 700W variant. It is a percussion hammer drill designed for construction, remodeling, and multi-material tasks.

• Power Output: $701\text{ W}$ ($302\text{ W}$ Max Output Power)

• Chuck Size: $13\text{ mm}$ ($1/2″$) Heavy-Duty Keyed Chuck

• No Load Speed: $0 – 2,800\text{ RPM}$

• Impact Rate: $0 – 47,600\text{ BPM}$ (Flipped into concrete/brick hammer mode)

• Max Capacity: Concrete: $16\text{ mm}$ | Steel: $13\text{ mm}$ | Wood: $25\text{ mm}$

• Best For: Anchoring into masonry, running hole saws through wood, or heavy general fabrication.

Option 2: The Precision Rotary Drill (DeWalt DWD112 / DWD112S)

If your work involves purely wood assembly, cabinet making, or sheet metal fabrication where you never need to drill into stone or concrete, this non-hammer alternative drops the percussion mechanism to save physical weight.

• Power Output: $700\text{ W}$ (Driven by a heavy-duty $7.0\text{ to }8.0\text{ Amp}$ motor)

• Chuck Size: $10\text{ mm}$ ($3/8″$) All-Metal Ratcheting Keyless Chuck (Allows rapid bit changes by hand without a chuck key)

• No Load Speed: $0 – 2,500\text{ RPM}$

• Max Capacity: Steel: $10\text{ mm}$ | Wood: $25\text{ mm}$

• Net Weight: $\approx 1.8\text{ kg}$ ($4.1\text{ lbs}$)

• Best For: Repetitive, precise workshop drilling, screw-fastening, and operations where bit runout (wobble) must be kept to an absolute minimum.
