DEWALTElectric Drill, Spade Handle, 1/2-Inch, 9-Amp (DW130V)

Works great and will for a long time. I bought a master mechanic drill a few years ago to mix drywall mud and it burnt up in a few months. My co workers burned up on the first use!! My boss has a few of these that have lasted over 10 years. Worth the money.

My Dewalt 20v works but I could smell the motor getting hot. I mix thinset, tile mortar, sheetrock mud enough to justify buying this beast. Thus has nice handle placement, speed control that makes it much better for mixing 5 gallons of mud at a time.

I had a marble shower project, and I thought my large BOSCH hammer drill could handle the job of mixing up the thinset. WRONG.No amount of throttling the variable speed trigger could trick the drill from doing what it wanted to do, which was to go 1200 rpm.What I needed was a drill that was comfortable in the 100 - 300 rpm range without costing a fortune.This was the tool for the job. Well made, comfortable. Shipped barebones in a cardboard box, I attached the handles and mixed up some fine looking thinset. I don't care that it doesn't have a phony baloney vac-formed case to store it in (those things aren't really designed for storage anyway!)I plan to use it for regular drilling jobs in the future as well.

Muy bien

We are making slip for our straw bale house, needed something that would mix well and not cost a fortune. It may not last for years but the price wae great and it is very solid. I like the variable speeds, although that may make it less durable. I have mixed some light concrete with it qnd it performed well. Not sure how it would do with heavier stuff as it may be under powered but it works great for my purposes and saved about$150 Over fancier models

Arrived quickly and exactly what I ordered. We've had 2 others of the DW130 drill; in the last 25 years and they held up very well.

This drill motor is exactly as advertised. Lots of torque with no problems.

I’ve mixed joint compound with cheap drills over the years and they work, they basically do the job. But this is a world of difference. Just so much easier, cleaner, and reliable. Worth the extra money.
