Is this a variable speed tool like the Foredom?

Yes it is a knock off of the Foredom...Foot rheostat that come with it is garbage.

no Nancy, it does not. Also, I used another one, that came from Lowes, which had variable speeds that I liked even better and about the same price. Hope this helps...F

no the impact is not variable speeds like the hammer drill, but if you depress the trigger just a little it will go slower, the harder you squeeze it the faster it goes. hope this helps

I don't own one, but I looked at this drill about two years ago. As I recall, it had all the bells and whistles, including variable speed and a reverse switch.(The drill was everything I wanted, but I didn't really need a new drill, so I didn't buy it.)

I would make sure that I have a good set of stubby drill bits and lots of cutting oil to not burn the bit up. This press does not have variable speeds. It is only one speed.

Yes, it has a reverse setting (very easy to use- just push button). It does not have variable speeds.

Yes. This drill is variable speed reversible. It also has hammer mode. Excellent for drilling masonry or concrete.

it varies from 0 to 6800rpm in less than a second. ;Dvariable speed would have been a feature i would appreciated a lot and would have made this tool even more useful. but still i'm using it a lot.

Hi Mike,Yes it is variable speed, and it does accept standard blades. It has a quick release locking collar and you can also lock blade so you don't accidentally turn it on. I purchased a longer lasting battery to go with it also, so that can it can work with my Bosch impact drill as well.No regrets on purchase so far !Good luck !

So far mine has worked quite well. I have a couple of Foredom's one is a high torque model, they're certainly more powerful than the Dremel, but the Dremel is half the price & all my dremel pieces fit. One thing i've noticed is the Dremel doesn't get into that annoying resonance with the flex shaft as does the Foredom...Just my .02¢ worth.

It is variable speed with 2 gears. It is a really nice and strong drill for home projects.

Yes, it is variable. You should buy a PMW controler to vary the speed. But be careful if you need to reverse the motor with a polarity reversing toggle switch. Put the motor leads on the toggle switch, not the power leads.

There is no variable speed, but you could get a speed controler here that could be used for a variety of other tools as well. SE Electronic Stepless Speed Controller I thought that it was a pretty decent die grinder for the price. Not much can go wrong with them except brushes which an extra set does come with the tool.

Yes, variable trigger with 2 speed gear setting. I love this drill and have used heavily with no issues. My brother has purchased Bosch drills and they are nice but these in my opinion are better. He also bought a new Dewalt one and it doesn't have a variable trigger and does not compare in quality.

Thanks for your question. The model I have does not have the variable speed control, however changing speeds only takes a few moments so I've not missed having it. Hope this helps.

The tool is in my truck, so I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure that it is variable. More importantly, this is a wonderful tool. It is well balanced, powerful, and with very good battery strength.

If you mean "Variable Speed Reversing" then yes I believe it is. The manual can be found here: http://servicenet.blackanddecker.com/documents/English/Instruction%20Manual/90565546,DR670.pdf
