Fein 72705861120 Corded Magnetic Drill 1100W 1/2 in Chuck

Product Description

The FEIN 72705861120 is a corded magnetic drill designed for metal fabrication, structural steel work, and heavy-duty drilling applications on ferromagnetic surfaces. It delivers 1,100 watts of power at 12 amps and offers two-speed operation ranging from 260 to 520 RPM, making it suitable for a wide range of annular cutter and twist-drill diameters. The 1/2 inch chuck accepts standard tooling, and the drill provides 10-1/4 inches of travel for deep-hole applications. A magnetic holding force of 2,136 pounds keeps the base secured to the workpiece during operation. Licensed electricians, ironworkers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers and users of this tool.

This magnetic drill is suited for both field and shop use wherever drilling into structural steel, plate, pipe supports, or similar ferromagnetic base materials is required. The reversible motor and electronic speed control make it practical for threading operations as well as standard drilling. The included carrying case supports job-site portability. The 13 foot cord provides adequate reach on most work surfaces without requiring an extension in typical shop layouts.

Key Features

• 2,136 pound magnetic holding force for secure attachment to ferromagnetic workpieces
• Electronic speed reduction and tacho electronics maintain consistent cutting speed under load
• Reversible motor supports both drilling and threading operations
• Magnet holding force gauge provides real-time feedback on base contact quality
• Tip sensor detects edge-of-workpiece positioning to reduce walk-off risk
• Memory function retains speed settings between uses
• Quick-change holder included for faster tooling swaps on the job

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch shank annular cutters and twist drills compatible with magnetic drill bases in this power class. Includes a quick-change holder for compatible tooling systems.

Installation Notes

This tool should be operated by qualified trades personnel familiar with magnetic drill safety procedures. Before drilling, verify that the base surface is clean, flat, and free of mill scale or debris that could reduce magnetic adhesion. Always attach the safety strap to a secondary anchor point independent of the magnet before powering the drill. Disconnect power before changing tooling or adjusting the chuck.
