How slowly are you able to start the drill? Is the variable speed trigger really touchy? like starting really high 200-300 rpm?

As slowly as you are able to finesse the trigger. The action on mine is smooth and even, not touchy, too hard or easy. I simple squeeze the trigger as I would when shooting and the drill will start to barely turn. It can be kept at that speed or squeeze a bit more and speed it up, whichever is needed. My drill will start, turn and continue to turn at speeds much lower than 200 RPM. I use this to make sure I have the bit on the mark; it is very handy.

It does have a really touchy trigger but can start out pretty slow. It starts a lot slower than my similar Dewalt. You just have to be careful because there is a fine line between being just right & making a mess... (btw I've had this drill over 2 years now & use it hard everyday. Not 1 problem. ) Good luck

Yes, be really careful. Start slowly, Especially if you are drilling something delicate.

I have noticed that there is a lot of vibration when it is being used on the high setting, but that is to be expected at that speed. I have noticed that the nail drill works really well on the low to medium setting. I highly recommend this nail drill. It has exceeded my expectations.

Its not a high rpm tool. It is a variable trigger. I use as a gasket cleaning tool in automotive with 3m disc. I wish it had more rpm.

No. It turns on with the switch. You use the dial to change the drill speed.

The drill bit is reasonably heavy - my high speed electric drill worked best. My battery operated one wasn't as good. Hope this helps.

It's very powerful and the trigger is kind of sensitive. As long as you use proper size of the screw head, hold it steady with a little pressure toward the subject, easy and smooth trigger pressure while screw or unscrew; it is super handy power tool for screw driving purpose. I just used it as drill and screwdriver last weekend to build a wheel frame for my propane heater, no problem at all for both purposes. I used a screwdriver to test how tight the screw is in the wood, it's tight enough that I didn't have to hand tight any of them again afterwards.

yes, it is variable speed...speeds varies with how hard the trigger is pressed

I think the RPM are from 3000 upto 30000 or near about this. Control is via a potentiometer mounted on the drill body which also has an ON OFF feature. The machine is good.

I don't know, I will have to check the specifications. It it is on the tool I will respond again later. For drilling high RPM is ok, but I think you might want to drive screws a little slower, I will provide more later. Brad

My DWD520 is variable speed in hammer and regular drilling modes. I hope this helps, as I think it may be a error in the listing. Mine works just great as well. Keith

It's all in the trigger pull. Yes it is a variable speed drill. It is also the best hand drill I have ever owned. My first one last around twenty five plus years, using it at work almost daily.

there is a selector switch on the top rear of the drill that gives you the 3 speeds. there is another selector switch above the trigger that gives you either drill or torque with a selector switch range from 1- 22

Speed selection is fine on mine. My problem is the front face (head with led lamps, etc) of the driver keeps comming off. Held on by teo screws and no matter what I do to try and keep in place, it keeps coming off about once a week. Assume you are having problems with your trigger? Good luck

I personally like this drilll. It's quiet and Has no vibration. My wife uses it too because our kupa upower 200 's hand piece is down. Downside is it has no foot control pedal. We have it about a year now.

1/32,3/64,5/64,1/8not a great selection, but the drill is cheap enough to buy a good set of bits as well. Works fine, but no variable speed, just on or off. Hope that helped.

There are 2 speeds. They are controlled by a gear change switch located on top of the screwdriver. There are 2 positions, low and high. Low is about 200rpm and has more torque. High is about 600 rpm. Others keep saying it is variable. It is not. The speeds are Off (0), Low (200), and High (600). The toggle switch on the side controls directions. Off in the center, clockwise tilted to the top, and counterclockwise tilted to the bottom. This is very easy to get used to and both speeds are easy to control. Just be warned that this is a light duty screwdriver and they are known to have problems with clutch slippage (or some kind of internal gear slippage) if you try to push them too hard. Great for light duty like electronics and small assembly. Get something better if you want to drive sheet rock screws into 2x4s on a regular basis. Best of luck - Jeff

Yes and slow to fast in both directions depending on the strength you use to activate the drill.
