Customer Reviews for VEVOR Mag Drill, 550RPM No-load Speed Electromagnetic Drill Press, 2.16" Depth 1.57" Dia Magnetic Core Drill, 2700LBS Boring Tool Drill Press, w/ 1100W Drill Press, 11 PCS Power Magnetic Drill Presses

I bought this to drill holes in the chassis of my off road truck to mount brackets. 1/4” thick steel and it had no problem making a perfect hole. I highly recommend this drill. Use your common sense when operating this equipment and you have no issues. Some reviewers very critical of the lack of an interlock but if you take your time and look at what you’re doing it’s not a problem. Great purchase and very useful tool.

I just received this drill today, so I can't speak to longevity. That said, if longevity was a huge priority on this I would expect to pay $1,600 or more and this suits my budget MUCH better. I will say that the drill is VERY solid construction (much better than expected) and yet operation is still very smooth. I've several times used a very popular brand seen on YT all the time and that one has excessive wiggle and rocking on the vertical track, but this Vevor one has none of that. Very nice. The weldon socket fits the tools very well, i.e. not loose - this one is very concentric in that regard. Both boring tools and even the drill chuck ran very true and I could not detect any runout at all by naked eye, so is much better than most tools of this type that I've used. Whether that's luck or something else, I'm very happy about this. The electronic speed controller takes a second or so to catch up with itself if you push it enough to slow it down (not what you'd normally do), but that's typical of electronic controllers and I prefer this type to primitive "get what you set" variable speed. Speed range is VERY useful (pretty much slows to zero) and reversing will come in handy. All the switches and knobs feel smooth and solid. There IS a magnet/motor interlock!! Thus you can't start the motor if you forget to switch on the magnet first. Also, if you accidentally switch off the magnet while the motor is spinning, it switches the motor off automatically. Important safety feature! Surprised NONE of the online info on the drill notes this fact. The drill is GOOD, but this item's listing on their website needs help. The features are very nice. The only thing I wish it had was a quill lock since gravity keeps wanting to lower it constantly making it awkward for changing tools and such. It's not terrible, just a bit annoying. Mine did NOT come with the "quick change" tool collar as the pictures show, but I'm actually glad about that because the typical set screw arrangement this one came with is simple and reliable. I don't change tools on mag drills often enough to need quick change anyway. So technically a dropped feature, but for me that was kind of a relief since I was skeptical of the reliability of a quick-change collar thing. One less thing to go wrong. Another feature that is never mentioned is the positioning of the drill body along the vertical slide is quick and easily accessible. None of that disassembling stuff some mag drills have. Loosen a hex socket screw on the side, slip it up or down, and snug it back down. I like this. Long story short, I really like this drill so far. Drilled a few 1/2" holes today for something I'm building and really it worked great. Operation is very smooth, has plenty adequate power (both magnet and motor) and a pleasure to use. I like it! Photo shows the 1/2" jobber length drill chucked in the thing. Does this with about 3/4" to spare. Awesome.

This drill is a great deal, drills very well and has an extremely strong magnet. I have used it to drill through 1in plate down to 11ga. I have even drilled holes with it upside down, great product

Great product. I would definitely recommend but don't forget the extra bits! The Mag Drill Press cut through 1/4 steel plate with ease.

Why have I not gotten this drill earlier in my life? Used my new drill immediately with the best results possible. Easy to use, awesome results.

My mag drill arrived and was packaged very well. Everything about the drill works well except for the quick change chuck. It is easy to insert and remove the cutters before you use them. After drilling just one hole, the bits become stuck. The only way I could remove the cutters was to disassemble the quick change chuck, clamp the cutter in my vice, and beat on the drill with a hammer. I tried all the bits that were included and every single one suffered this issue, so it has to be the chucks fault and renders the entire drill useless. This issue also reviled how difficult is is to get a refund. Customer support was haggling with me about how much to refund me. I had to ask for a full refund 4 separate times before they final granted it. My advice to you is do not buy this particular mag drill, buy the cheapest one with the standard set screws to hold in the cutters. also, you must be comfortable with not getting a refund. They make it very difficult and there are no guarantees.

Very good drill I like it and it is very easy to use drilling is smooth magnetic is very strong I also used it sideways on a 1 inch steel plate and it never came loose very good price and product.

This magnetic drill is great! I use it in an Industrial environment where being able to complete the job fast is crucial. Reduce your downtime by having this great drill for a fraction of the cost of high-end brands!

This mag drill is definitely worth the money, great customer service when I had questions and the magnet on this thing is extremely strong definitely worth the buy.

I drilled 4 small 16mm holes only 6mm thick metal and on the 4th hole the drill stopped & does not turn on anymore. I'm contacting customer service for a warranty replacement. Not too certain if this is a good product.
