4.2 Amp Corded Drill for DIY Tasks
The Genesis GD38B is a corded electric drill built for general-purpose drilling and driving around the home or workshop. Its 4.2 amp motor delivers consistent power without the need for battery charging. The 3/8 inch keyless chuck accepts a wide range of bits for wood, metal and plastic work. It suits DIYers who want a reliable mains-powered tool for occasional projects.
Variable Speed Control Under Load
A variable speed trigger allows adjustment from 0 to 3000 RPM to match the material and fastener size. The reversible motor handles both driving and removal of screws. A lock-on button keeps the motor running at a set speed for extended drilling sessions, reducing trigger fatigue during repetitive tasks. The corded design maintains full torque throughout the job without voltage drop.
Rubberized Grip and Belt Clip
The drill weighs 2.14 lb and features a rubberized non-slip grip for secure handling during operation. A built-in belt clip allows the tool to be hung from a work belt or pocket when moving between tasks. The 3/8 inch keyless chuck enables quick bit changes without a separate key. A California Proposition 65 warning applies to this product.

Questions about this item
How much heat or noise does the 4.2 Amp motor produce when running continuously?
The 4.2 Amp motor draws 120 V power; typical corded drills of this class run warm but not hot during extended use, and the rubberized grip helps absorb vibration and reduce operator fatigue.
What power source must I already have for the Genesis GD38B to operate?
A standard 120 V household outlet is required; the drill includes a 5 ft cord and has no battery, so it cannot run without mains power.
Will the 3/8 in. keyless chuck accept bits from my older 1/4 in. hex-shank driver set?
The 10 mm keyless chuck tightens on round shanks up to 3/8 in.; 1/4 in. hex bits will not seat securely, so you need round-shank bits or a hex-to-round adapter.
