Dewalt DW284 Vsr Positive Clutch Power Unit 6.5 Amp

Product Description

The DEWALT DW284 is a variable-speed reversing (VSR) positive clutch power unit designed for demanding fastening and drilling applications in the trades. Running from 0 to 2500 RPM with a 6.5-amp motor, this unit delivers controlled torque output suited for consistent, repeatable work in both residential and light commercial settings. The positive clutch mechanism provides positive engagement, reducing cam-out and fastener damage during high-volume installation tasks. At 4.4 pounds, the DW284 is built to handle extended use on the job site without excessive operator fatigue.

This power unit is well suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors who require a reliable variable-speed tool for fastening conduit straps, duct hardware, pipe supports, and similar trade work. The VSR trigger allows the operator to match speed to the material and fastener type, making it appropriate for wood, metal, and composite substrates common in mechanical and electrical rough-in work.
