7.0 Amp Corded Drill for Heavy Tasks
The Black & Decker DR560 is a corded electric drill with a 7.0 amp motor that reaches 900 rpm. It drills up to 1.5 inches in wood and 0.5 inches in steel using a 1/2 inch keyed chuck. The compact metal body weighs 3 pounds and measures 12.0 by 3.5 by 10.375 inches. A 360-degree side handle and comfort grip improve control during extended use.
Upgrade from Lower-Power or Cordless Models
This drill replaces underpowered corded units or battery tools that lack sustained torque for large fasteners. The 1800 watt maximum power and reversing brush system deliver full strength in forward and reverse without fade. The jump is worth it when you need continuous runtime for drilling dense materials or driving lag bolts all day.
Suits Workshop Users Needing Constant Power
It suits DIYers and tradespeople who work near an outlet and want reliable, maintenance-free operation. Buyers who need to move freely across a site without a cable should look at something else. Users requiring hammer action for masonry or a keyless chuck for rapid bit changes will not find those features here.

Questions about this item
What size drill bits does the 1/2 in. keyed chuck accept?
The all-metal keyed chuck holds bits up to 1/2 in. diameter for steel and up to 1-1/2 in. for wood.
How do I secure the 360-degree side handle before drilling?
Thread the side handle onto the front collar and rotate it to the desired angle, then tighten firmly so it cannot shift under load.
When should I replace the motor brushes on this 7.0 Amp drill?
Replace the reversing brushes when you notice reduced power, sparking at the vents, or the drill stalls under normal load.
