This drill features a keyed 1/2" chuck. A 360-degree mountable and removeable front pistol grip. Two drilling speed ranges plus the obvious hammer mode. It's a no nonsense tool that for it's size and weight is extremely well built and powerful. The guide is a terrific accessory that gives you precise deapth control. It also includes an extra large chuck key to save your fingers if changing out bits. Personally I think a second drill works better though. All in all, if you have a job that invovles putting holes in concrete, then you need to buy yourself one of these. Hands down then best drill I've ever used!
Variable speed, 2 gears, Hammer Drill function.
I did read somewhere that some people had problems with the drill bit slipping because the chuck becomes loose when using the hammer drill function.
My response to that is to tighten the chuck with chuck key in each of the 3 holes. I drilled 3 seperate holes each 20mm hole through approx 7 inches of granite using the hammer drill and an irwin joran drill bit, no problems not once did it loosen up.
I bought it for use in Australia so being that it's a 110v drill I hooked it up to my 2000w 240V > 110v step down transformer. Australia runs at 50 cycles while the US runs at 60 cycles doing the math I dropped about 60w of power not much of a price to pay with that much raw grunt.
Some may find it a bit on the weighty side, but I don't think it is.
It's a quality bit of kit, and I'm already looking at a DeWalt cordless for those lighter jobs when I need a cordless screwdriver.
Great purchase at half the price I pay in Aus for the same item.
The 210 is the same as the 520, with these changes:
(1) hammer drill
(2) two speeds (400-1200, and 800-3200 rpm)
(3) 1 lb heavier
(4) 1.7" longer.
(5) carrying case included.
The 520 shares the same flaw as the 210, that it does NOT do low speed rpm. (400 rpm minimum). Not good for steel. unless you pulse it. Thats why I took off a star. but hey, 10 amps of hammerdrill in a 6 lb package, thats not bad.
This is comes with standard adjustable drill chuck and NOT an SDS (spline bit) hammer drill. Any adjustable chuck will tend to loosen on continuous hammering, unless you tighten it correctly. The 520 comes with an oversized t-handle chuck key. Make sure you tighten all three chuck key slots and that should hold any bit in place, including round shanks.
